Question

Describe the major factor responsible for poverty line

Answer 1

All these factors lead to abysmal poverty in rural India. (v) Lack of employment opportunities: Unemployment is the reflection of poverty. Because of lack of employment opportunities, people remain either unemployed or underemployed.

Answer 2

What is the reason for poverty in India?



(i) Education: Education is considered to be the pillar of social change. However, it is saddened to mention that literacy rate in India is at 74.04 percent.

(ii) Rapid growth of population: The decadal growth rate of population is close to 17.7 perecent (Census of India, 2011). This causes huge unempoyment in the country. The rapid growth of polulation dwindles the ownership of the size of land. Consider a case, Bharat is having 2 acres of agricultural land and have 6 child. When it comes to distribution of land among his childern, each childern will receive 0.33 acres of land.

(iii) Social customs and Caste System: There are some communities who belives that childern are a gift of god, some believes abortion,sterilization or using condoms are against the will of their customs. Who else can deny the pitfalls of caste system. The people of lower caste are mainly engaged in low income jobs that leds them to poverty. However, i am not denying the fact that all uppercaste peoples are empowered or not living below the poverty line.
