2. What is meant by Poverty?
poverty, the state of one who lacks a
usual or socially acceptable amount of
money or material possessions. Poverty
is said to exist when people lack the
means to satisfy their basic needs. In
this context, the identification of poor
people first requires a determination of
what constitutes basic needs.

3. Cause of Poverty
LACK OF JOBS OR LIVELIHOODS :
This might seem like a no-brainer: Without a job or a livelihood,
people will face poverty. Dwindling access to productive land (often
due to conflict, overpopulation, or climate change) and
overexploitation of resources like fish or minerals puts increasing
pressure on many traditional livelihoods.
LACK OF EDUCATION :
Not every person without an education is living in extreme poverty.
But most of the extremely poor don’t have an education. There are
many barriers to education around the world, including a lack of
money for uniforms and books, a bias against girls’ education, or many
of the other causes of poverty mentioned here.

4. Effect of Poverty
Increase in Crime :
Global unemployment is at a high point. One
hundred ninety-two million people around the
world are jobless. In some parts of the world,
mainly poor parts, unemployment standings will
drive this number higher. In a study done on
youth in the Caribbean, it was determined that
joblessness fueled criminal activity in those aged
15 through 24.
Because of the struggles in the Caribbean job
market, the murder rates are higher there than in
any other region in the world. The crime rate
affects 6.8 percent of the Caribbean population
against the world average of 4.5 percent,
calculating the global rate per 100,000 people.
