6. ‘Poverty is a world at its worst when
people are deprived of basic
everyday things that we take for
granted like food, water, shelter,
money and clothes.’
Determing the poverty line
is usually done by finding the total
cost of all the essential resources
that an average human adult
consumed in one year.
7. A shelter for a human being is that much must to live.
Poverty adversely defines the shelter poverty for poor
as they don’t have much sanitized and clean housing
areas to live.
Also, they don’t enjoy the proper built houses to live
in as the seasons affect their housing lifestyles.
The pictures shows the backwardness of living areas
in a city for rich and poor.
8. WHO ARE POOR?
A human being could be dented as poor
who lacks shelter, food, education,
basic transportation and a good health.
Like the example pictorise back, the
basic needs of a human being starts
with food to live. When children from
their very mild age don’t get enough
nourished food the become weak.
9. The picture define the major source for poverty that is
gap between rich and poor. Rich becomes more rich and
poor crosses more poverty line with passing time.
In the opinion of Bernie Sanders, this is the greatest of
the problems that affect modern society.
The poor gets pushed in into the weight of rich
standards and capitalism which increases the number of
people below poverty line. The elite class society
dumbs the very quality of poor people due to lack of
education and using them as their workers with
improper wages.
10. According to the World Bank, India
accounted for the world's largest
number of poor people in 2012 using
revised methodology to measure
poverty, reflecting its massive
population. However, in terms of
percentage, it scored somewhat
lower than other countries holding
large poor populations. In July
2018, World Poverty Clock, a
Vienna-based think tank, reported
that a minimal 5.3% or 70.6 million
Indians lived in extreme poverty
compared to 44% or 87 million
Nigerians. In 2019, Nigeria and
Congo surpassed India in terms of
total population earning below $1.9
a day. Although India is expected to
meet the United
Nations' Sustainable Development
Goals on extreme poverty in due
time, a very large share of its
population lives on less than $3.2 a
day, putting India's economy safely
into the category of lower middle
income economies.
11. “Poverty is the worst cause
of violence.”- Mahatma
Gandhi
Poverty has a societal
problem since times
immemorial. There are a lot
of socio-economic variables
that influence poverty. This is
compounded by corruption
and the ever-increasing
population of the country.
Poverty, food prices and
hunger are inextricably
linked. Millions live with
huger and malnourishment
because they simply cannot
afford to buy enough food,
cannot afford nutritious
foods or cannot afford the
farming supplies.
12. A poverty trap or cycle of poverty are caused by self-
reinforcing mechanisms that cause poverty, once it
exists, to persist unless there is outside interventions.
It can persist across generations and when applied to
developing countries is also known as development
trap.
Families trapped in the cycle of poverty have
either limited or no resources. Metrics for these
conditions include low gross domestic product or
overall low productivity, failing to produce in a wealth
for the population as a whole to escape poverty.
13. Hunger in India India, with a population of over 1.2 billion,
has seen tremendous growth in the past two decades. Gross
Domestic Product has increased 4.5 times and per capita
consumption has increased 3 times. Similarly, food grain
production has increased almost 2 times. However, despite
phenomenal industrial and economic growth, while India
produces sufficient food to feed its population, it is unable to
provide access to food to a large number of people, especially
women and children. State of Hunger in India Hunger in India
is a complex issue.
It is widespread and the causes are different across
various regions. According to latest FAO estimates in ‘The
State of Food Insecurity in the World, 2015” report, 194.6
million people are undernourished in India. By this measure
India is home to a quarter of the undernourished population in
the world.
