Poverty can be articulated as the deprivation or absence of fundamental and basic needs. When we speak about poverty wed count people who suffer from natural disaster, who live in polluted areas and they are deprived from home, drinking water, nutrition, health care, clothing education means of traveling, lack of machinery, excessive manual labor and lack of monetary means to acquire the necessities. Poverty is related to lack of joy, happiness peace and tranquility. What are the causes of poverty? The unhealthy Geographical environment, the dry and suffocating climate, unfertile land lack of rain or excessive rain, lack of water, inability to produce or cultivate, the drought, earthquakes, hurricanes, Tsunami, explosion of lava, erosion of soil provoke poverty. Man made poverty provoked from being engaged in violence, destruction, conspiracy, murder, mafia, illegal practices , illegal traffic of drugs, women, human organs, absence of Government protection. Poor industries, poor economy, lack of labor, jobs lack of education , lack of competent man power, emigration or exit of intelligent citizens to other countries provoke poverty. The national loan or debt, the debt in the family and inability pay it back provokes poverty. Faulty and crafty social system, blind rituals and belief system, lack of human solidarity, and evil practices provoke poverty. The separation of partners and parents, incurring heavy debt, exploitation of the poor and ignorant provoke poverty. The absence of equality, absence of democracy provoke poverty. When we lack leaders who speak and advocate for the rights of all citizen, when lack to protest against the justice with peaceful means provokes poverty. When the enterprises. Poverty can be absolute poverty and relative or marginal poverty. Under absolute poverty, people live spending one dollar a day.

I don't agree in some of your words, my friend. You mention here that poverty is lack of joy, happiness, peace and tranquility. Well, as far as my opinion is concern. Poverty is not hindrance people to live happy because poor people are live peace and happy life even if they don't have more in their possession. Poor are considers in the poverty line because they are the real concern in that words. Poor people also live in peacefully than those rich people. Even if they are live poor in one community they are contended enough in what they eat, dress or anything that they have in their possession. They are not wanting to get more what for them is to live with peace. Rich people can mess up the life of poor people because they want to get what those poor have... The real cause of poverty are the government and businessmen. They are connivance to make laws which is unjust to poor people... Government lack of power to control what the businessmen can do their commodities which is make poor people to be more drag into deeper poverty...

Yes poor people are rich in heart. They are rich or warm in offering hospitality even with the needy strangers. They sahre what they have. They have the joy peace harmony and unity in the family. sure. Partially they are poor for the cause of deprivation. The real poor are those who do not have neither physical nor psychological wealth

There are just so many reasons for poverty. It can be difficult to focus on what the real reason or cause is. It's something that should certainly be dealt with immediately. The sooner the better.

causes of poverty are many, we have to find out the reason and rectify it. the government has to take solution for this. Unemployment is the first reason.without income how can a man met his day to day life needs like food,shelter, clothes etc. Non availability of food make him unhealthy and illness comes. People's laziness also the reason for poverty,they have to find work,any kind of work suitable for them.
