SOCIAL ISSSUE:
POVERTY
 INTRODUCTION
• Poverty, a multifaceted social issue, is not merely the
absence of financial resources but a state of deprivation
that affects individuals, families, and entire communities.
• Understanding its depth is crucial to finding sustainable
solutions.
 WHAT IS POVERTY:
We can define poverty as the condition where the basic needs
of a family, like food,shelter, clothing, and education are not
fulfilled. It can lead to other problems like poor literacy,
unemployment, malnutrition, etc.
 GLOBAL OVERVIEW:
• According to the World Bank, over 700 million people
globally live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than
$1.90 per day.
• Poverty comes in various forms, ranging from absolute
poverty, where basic needs for survival are unmet, to
relative poverty, where individuals lack access to the social
and economic resources available in society.
 TYPES OF POVERTY:
• Situational poverty
• Generational poverty
• Absolute poverty
• Relative poverty
• Urban poverty
• Rural poverty
 CAUSES OF POVERTY:

• Lack of access to quality education

• Lack of access to job opportunities
• Unemployment & Underemployment
• Health Issues
• Discrimination based on gender, race, or socioeconomic status
• Inadequate social safety nets and economic inequality
 IMPACT OF POVERTY:
• Social Consequences
• Health & Nutrition

• Inter-generational impact
 SOLUTIONS:

 STEPS TAKEN AS INDIVIDUAL:
• Poverty is a social evil, we can also contribute to control it.
• For example- we can simply donate old clothes to poor people
• we can also sponsor the education of a poor child or we can
utilize our free time by teaching poor students.
• Remember before wasting food, somebody is still sleeping
hungry.
WE SHOULD REMOVE POVERTY:
 STEPS TAKEN BY GOVERNMENT:
• Government has also taken steps for the cheap availability of seeds &
farming equipment to promote agriculture.
• Government is also promoting farming of cash crops like cotton, instead of
food crops.
• In cities, the government is promoting industrialization to create more
jobs. Government has also opened ‘Ration shops’.
• Other measures include providing free & compulsory education for
children up to 14 years of age, scholarship to deserving students from a
poor background, providing subsidized houses to poor people, etc.
 CONCLUSION:
• Addressing poverty requires a combination of strategies such as education,
access to financial services, social safety nets, infrastructure development,
empowerment of marginalized groups, and sustainable economic development.
• By implementing these solutions, we can make significant progress in
alleviating poverty and creating a more equitable society.
• It's important for governments, organizations, and individuals to work together
towards these goals.
• Remember, every effort, no matter how small, can make a difference in
someone's life.
