Q5) poverty is a curse, isn’t But do you know who is poor? Do you know which country has largest number of poor people? What, according to you, are the reasons that poor are getting pooper while rich are getting richer? How can this gap be bridge?
Answers
Poverty isn't a curse. People are getting poorer and richer because of people themselves. From years ago and also till present, in some states like Odisha, people are given wages according to gender, i.e., although both men and women are working at the same level as employees in factories or industries, yet men are given more wages than compared to that of women. Children born to poor families do not get proper education and health facilities. And this is the reason why they are still unemployed and not able to produce greater incomes. Children born to rich families get better education and health facilities as their parents had realised the importance of both education and hygiene. And so these children are able to make more incomes in future. In farming, small farmers and farm labourers work in the fields of large and medium farmers for money and these large farmers sell the surplus products in the market to earn profit, while those small farmers, many a times don't have surplus product to sell in market after self- consumption.
This gap between rich and poor can be filled by people themselves only. People should make equality between both men and women. Their wages shouldn't differ due to gender biases, but due to education level.
The Scheduled Tribes(STs), Scheduled Castes (SCs), rural agricultural labour households and the urban casual labour households are the poorest people. Apart from these people, women, girl infants and elderly people are the most poorest. Odisha and Bihar are the poorest states in India. Out of these two states, Odisha is the most poorest state in India with the largest number of poor people.
