Mention some of the causes of poverty
What will be an ideal response?
There are a number of possible causes of poverty. Few of them are:
High unemployment
Poor physical health
Physical disabilities
Alcoholism
Drug addiction
Large families
Job displacements due to automation
Low educational level
Households with young children headed by females only
Being labeled an "ex-convict" or "crazy"
Residence in a geographic area where jobs are scarce
Gambling
Low-paying jobs
This list is not exhaustive. However, it shows that there are many causes of poverty. Eliminating the causes of poverty would require a wide range of social programs. Poverty interacts with almost all other social problems-emotional problems, alcoholism, unemployment, racial and sex discrimination, medical problems, crime, gambling, and so on. The interaction between poverty and these other social problems is complex. These other social problems are contributing causes of poverty. Yet, for some social problems, poverty is also a contributing cause of those problems (such as emotional problems, alcoholism, and unemployment). Being poor intensifies the effects (the hurt) of all social problems.
