Poverty and Homelessness Essay examples
Poverty and Homelessness Usually when a person thinks of the poor and the homeless, they think
about those that are living and sleeping on park benches or under bridges. They think of those who
are dirty, with ragged clothing, worn out shoes, and those begging or panhandling for food. The truth
of the matter is that poverty and homelessness can affect people of any age, race or gender. More
Americans are at the risk of poverty and homelessness today. There are many circumstances that can
cause a person to live in poverty and become homeless. The lack of affordable housing, low paying
jobs or lack of employment, and insufficient federal aid all contribute to poverty and homelessness.
The lack of affordable housing is a significant...show more content...
Still, some Americans have become homeless due to the loss or lack of employment. With the
recent economic recession, many companies have moved to other parts of the country or have
outsourced, leaving many without jobs. Displaced workers face difficulty finding new
employment. Others lack the minimum job skills to attain employment. The lack of education
increases the likelihood of a low income. It is difficult for those with little education to find work
that provides a decent wage. They have less of a chance of making a desirable income. Education
and basic skills are needed in acquiring jobs. Those with more education generally earn more than
those that are less educated. The lack of education and training, combined with low wages, keep
many families from moving up. Furthermore, the declining availability of public assistance has
also increased the number of families that are in poverty or homeless. Fewer families are receiving
the help they need. There were once many federal and state assistance programs that were available
for those in need, but because of budget cuts, most of the funding for these programs have been cut
or eliminated. As a result of loss of benefits many continue to struggle. In Anna Quindlen's, "Our
Tired, Our Poor, Our Kids, Quindlen states how "[a] study done in San Diego in 1998 found that a

Poverty In India
The issue of poverty has blighted India for several decades. It seems to be a vicious cycle that
simply doesn't seem to go away despite continuous and constant efforts of the government and the
general public.The main argument opposing Indians make is that the programs to bring people out
of poverty are far too expensive to be paid for by the government. The government already gives out
millions in subsidies, however poverty remains.
After, much research and analysis, the truth regarding the severity of the situation and the efforts
made to ameliorate it, come to the forefront of the argument regarding this topic. There have been
several extremely relevant studies that have been conducted to try and address poverty in India ,
its causes and its solutions. Chronic Poverty in India which is an overview study assesses chronic
poverty in India by looking at the seriousness, duration and multidimensional deprivation that have
led to the current poverty stricken state of the country. For the purposes of this paper, the aim will
be to address poverty alleviation measures as well as the effectiveness of Government policies that
specifically target poverty. Next, the book Red tape: bureaucracy, structural violence, and poverty in
India will be explored to analyze topics such as corruption, education and population policies which
will also provide insight into why, despite rapid industrial and economic growth, the country remains
poor. After, the book, The state and poverty in

Problem Of Poverty In India
INDIA: PROBLEM OF POVERTY AND REMEDIES
*Renu Assistant Professor (Sociology) C.R.K. College, Jind Haryana.
Renu10392@gmail.com
Introduction– India was called a 'Sparrow of Gold' in the past. Indians were prosperous. Many
outsiders attacked and looted it. Some of them went back while the remaining settled here.
Britishers came here and looted it. They spread their colonies all over India. They ruled over India.
At that time the condition of Indian economy and society was very worse. When India got freedom
from Britishers in 1947 it tried to develop. The main focus of Indian policies makers was on the
eradication of poverty. Five years plan was made for the purpose of eradication of poverty. But still
there are so many problems in the elimination of poverty. Some important barriers are as follows–
1.Over population– As per census of 2011 Indian total population is 1,210,193,422. India's ranking
is second in population. Is assumed by 2026 India would be first in high population in the world
and it defeat China in population. Day by day our population is growing more and more but we are
unable to provide employment to our citizens in a good ratio. A large part of our population is
illiterate and engaged in un–skilled sector, which is cause of poverty.
2.Unemployment– Due to overpopulation India suffers from the problem of unemployment which
is related with the problem of poverty. Millions of young are jobless. Millions of young are beaten

Causes Of Poverty In India
Nelson Mandela once said, "As long, as poverty, injustice and gross inequality persist in our
world, none of us can truly rest." In today's world, poverty is a big issue which needs to be solved
for the world to function properly. A country which faces extreme poverty is India, with over 194
million people facing it. India is a beautiful country known for its rich culture, having the third
largest ocean, and the world's tallest mountain called the Himalayas. India faces poverty due to social
issues, demographic factors, and economic constraints of the country.
To start off, the main reason why India faces a lot of poverty is due to discrimination among different
groups. People in India get discriminated by their caste. The caste–based segregation system was
developed back in the days by the Hindu religion. The caste–based system has four levels. Which
consist of the Brahman, Kshatriya, Vaishya, and Shudras. In the hierarchy, the Brahman are ranked
first, which consists priest and teachers. After, Kshatriya falls under, this consists warriors or rulers.
Then, Vaishya comes third which is made up of farmers, traders, and merchants. Lastly, Shudras fall
under which consists of laborers. The caste–based system dictates Hindu religion and people's social
life for many centuries. The main problem with this is the people who were ranked low from the
caste system would never get the opportunity to change their fate and climb a higher mountain. In
today's generation, it's still
