Answer 1

Answer:

(i) The low level of economic development under the British colonial administration. The policies of the colonial  government ruined traditional handicrafts and discouraged the development of industries like textiles.

(ii) Lack of job opportunities: Lack of job opportunities compelled many people to work as rickshaw pullers, vendors,  construction workers, domestic servants, etc.

(iii) Huge income inequalities: One of the major reasons for this is the unequal distribution of land and other resources.

Major policy initiatives like land reforms that aimed at the redistribution of assets in rural areas have not been  implemented properly by most of the state governments.

(iv) Lack of land resources has been one of the major causes of poverty in India.

(v) A high level of indebtedness among small farmers is also a major cause of poverty in our country. Since poor farmers  hardly have any savings, they borrow. Unable to repay because of poverty, they become victims of indebtedness.

2. Size of families-The income of the family decreases when the no. of family members increases.
3. Unemployment-Unemployment occurs when a person from 15 to 59 years of age, is willing to work at acceptable wages but cannot find a job which leads to the reduced income level and such people can't afford the essentials of life.
4. Illiteracy-Illiteracy and poverty are correlated. When parents are unable to send their children to school, then their children are unable to find a proper job in the job market when they grow up.
5. Poor health/malnutrition-Out of poverty, poor people are unable to get nutritious food and medical services which leads to malnutrition.
6. Helplessness-Poverty-stricken people are helpless and they are sometimes ready to do any work for a low-income.
7. Child Labour-Child labour is a type of crime in which children are forced to work at a very young due to which they don't get proper jobs as they usually drop out of school.
