Question

1) Explain briefly the causes of rural poverty?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Rural poverty is often a product of poor infrastructure that hinders development and mobility. Rural areas tend to lack sufficient roads that would increase access to agricultural inputs and markets. Without roads, the rural poor are cut off from technological development and emerging markets in more urban areas.

Unequal distribution of wealth, unproductive hoarding and unwise economic policies of the government, inflationary pressures, lack of capital and lack of skills and abilities in workers are some other economic causes that lead to poverty.
