Question

What is the major reason for increase in poverty in india? Illiteracy unemployment population growth

Answer 1

### Hello friend here is your answer ###

See the reasons you have mentioned are all causes of poverty in India. I will elaborate each :

1) ILLITERACY - India is home of largest population of illiterate adults in world – 287 million, amounting to 37% of the global total. So you see that these people who are illiterate are prone to poverty because they create a vicious cycle. They don't have any knowledge or neither do they have any skills to get a good job. Hence they live below poverty line. Plus 60 lakh children in India are still out-of-school so this poverty does not decline. HENCE ILLITERACY IS THE FIRST CAUSE OF POVERTY IN INDIA.

2) UNEMPLOYMENT - Unemployment in India is of 2 types i.e rural and urban unemployment. When a large number of people are unemployed their standard of living is very low. HENCE THEY LIVE IN POVERTY

3) POPULATION  GROWTH - The population of India is 1.33 Billion. Which is too much . So as you know that the area of India will remain the same but population is growing. So THERE IS POVERTY as they all cant be provided with health facilities and jobs and so on.

So all these factors are inter-related...
