Poverty is self a big problem and it also causes some other issues in the society, Like education & health . If person is poor he/she can not get education & health services. There are many people who are still homeless, they have to sleep outside in every weather conditions, they don't have any protection.
Modern society is equipped with so many gadgets & hi-tech systems but they are still fighting to survive. Poor people are also the part of our society, so we need to help them so that they should be getting at-least the basic necessities required for the survival.
There are many causes of poverty. In some places natural conditions are so that there no farming or other work is possible so poverty will be there.
Poor education also contributes to the poverty. illiterate people will not get access to good job, illiterate people will not get access to the welfare programs run by the government & other organisations. which in return causes poverty.
Population is also an factor in poverty. Per capita income get reduced with increase in population.
