Poverty has many negative consequences including increased crime, illness, child labor, and conflict. It is a serious global problem. Studies show that securing land rights helps break the cycle of poverty for individuals, families, villages and entire countries. Unemployment is also a major contributor to poverty. The causes of rural poverty are complex, involving factors such as culture, climate, gender, markets and public policy. Rural poverty accounts for over 60% of global poverty. Economic growth alone is not enough to reduce poverty - it must be accompanied by reduced inequality. Large families, dependency, natural disasters, and international economic conditions can also exacerbate poverty.

The links between poverty, economic growth, and income distribution have been studied quite
extensively in recent literature on economic development. Absolute poverty can be alleviated if at
least two conditions are met:
•economic growth must occur—or mean income must rise—on a sustained basis; and
•economic growth must be neutral with respect to income distribution or reduce income inequality.
•large and rapidly growing families with high dependency ratios
•external shocks owing to changes in the state of nature (for example, climatic changes) and
