Question

Explain 4 contributory factors that leads to poverty

Answer 1

1. POOR HEALTHCARE SYSTEMS — ESPECIALLY FOR MOTHERS AND CHILDREN :- Extreme poverty and poor health often go hand in hand. In countries where health systems are weak, easily preventable and treatable illnesses like malaria, diarrhea, and respiratory infections can be fatal — especially for young children.

2. Climate change:- Climate change creates hunger, whether through too little water (drought) or too much (flooding), and its effects contribute to the cycle of poverty in several other ways.

3. LACK OF GOVERNMENT SUPPORT :- Many people living in the United States are familiar with social welfare programs that people can access if they need healthcare or food assistance.

4. LACK OF EDUCATION :- Not every person without an education is living in extreme poverty. But most of the extremely poor don’t have an education.
