What counts as a threshold if not monetary values?
I was not suggesting using something other than monetary values as a threshold (though they are of course something of a placeholder). Rather, I’m suggesting that you specify exactly what threshold you mean when you use one. Rather than “absolute poverty” you could say “living on <2USD a day”, or perhaps define “poverty” stipulatively as “living on <2USD a day”.
