[Lhanjhong]

For me the common cause of poverty is corrupt officials,lack of education and laziness.Well not all government officials are corrupt.Education is very important in ones life,if have good education you will get more apportunities to find descent job.Laziness of people even if there are many works there they prefer to sit down and wait for a miracle.

Centralized system.

Blockchain is one of the solution to get out of there.

the common cause of poverty is bad economy of the country

[yuriarthf]

Poverty doesn't have a cause to happen, but wealthy has. Poverty is the original state of humanity, in my opinion.

[BTC-Market]

I can highlight 5 causes of poverty:
1 History
Many of the poorest nations in the world were former colonies from which slaves and resources had been systematically extracted for the benefit of colonizing countries.
2 War & political instability
Whatever the causes of war and political upheaval, it is clear that safety, stability and security are essential for subsistence and, beyond that, economic prosperity and growth.
3 National Debt
Many poor countries carry significant debt due to loans from wealthier nations and international financial institutions.
4 Discrimination and social inequality
Poverty and inequality are two different things, but inequality can feed widespread poverty by barring groups with lower social status from accessing the tools and resources to support themselves.
5 Vulnerability to natural disasters
In regions of the world that are already less wealthy, recurrent or occasional catastrophic natural disasters can pose a significant obstacle to eradicating poverty.

Governments and greed

[SirArthur]

There's no such cause, poverty happens naturally. Just sit on your ass and do nothing and it will come to you.
Wealth is what requires work and something to cause it, poverty doesn't.

It's somewhat awkward that the poorest places are the naturally richer ones, but when the world let you live with minimum effort that's what you do, and by doing as little as possible poverty will find its way.

Not really. They still have most of the resources and slaves, actually even more slaves than ever. But it doesn't make any difference when the management is what it is.

In India context.   There are two reasons for poverty first one High rate population and second one is corruption.

[step2018]

Will you explain what common  reason why some other country is still experiencing poverty and some person dying because of hunger because of efficiency on food?

I think that the common cause of poverty is laziness. There are many ways to earn money. People nowadays want to earn very quick,they want to get money easily. They don't want to work hard and just love lying on their beds while waiting for somone to feed them.

I wouldn't say that laziness it's the main cause of poverty. I believe there'are a combination of factors that determine if a country will be rich or poor, but the factor number one with no doubt would be their institutions, because the correlation between bad institutions and corruption is direct. The worse the government , the greater the sense of impunity, creating a favorable envinroment for corruption and violence.

[Pakwan12]

The common cause of poverty is  the corrupt official,the lasiness of the people and the big population.

[Tozi]

The main cause of poverty is human laziness.People are so uninterested that they can't find a job for themselves.They think that the job itself will come for them.People have to strive for their better future.People can't just sit home and hunger.Exceptions are only disabled people who aren't able to work.They must receive income from the state.

[LemonF3]

I think that laziness is the main problem of human poverty. There are many examples where people even from the poorest countries were able to achieve great heights thanks to hard work.

I agree, its our attitude is one great factor. Laziness and mañana habit will not make us a productive one. Another thing is the lack of knowledge or poor education. For me, these are the reasons of poverty.

[cristin]

The more unemployment, the more also poor ones that there are around. Because the unemployment or people are unemployed could not earn to meet the needs of his life. In fact the needs of every man is increasingly increased. In addition unemployment also cause impact detrimental to the public, namely unemployment can make people used to be a thief, robber, and the beggar who will be disturbing the public about

[Joshua25]

For me one of the main cause of poverty is laziness. People are very dependent in our government when they feel hard in life they always blame our government. We should not depend on others, we should stand on our own so that we can acheive our dreams and ambitions.

[sharif116]

I think the commmon cause of poverty is the discrimination of the rich and the poorer.besides many other countries don't have much education and opportunities of work which make them poverty.this types of countries do not have cloth,food,accommodation etc.

[SirArthur]

I wouldn't say laziness, those people aren't exactly lazy but under bad management.
The child/slave labor at Bangladesh who made your clothes can't be called lazy, can it?
It depends still on the region we're talking, between tropics life is easy, terrains are fertile, so no much effort is needed. At some point you can blame laziness on these ones, but most just don't work more because they will be robbed if they do.
My father was working in an UN program for Mozambique and one farmer told him he wouldn't produce much because of the "evil eye". At first he though he was superstitious, but he came to realize what that means; if they produce too much, an army or paramilitary branch will show up to "collect protection", so keeping the production at "just enough" will get them out of troubles.
The whole mess appears to root from the lack of understanding that economy has to be distributed, otherwise you'll be building 10m+ USD luxury houses in the middle of "Favelas" and can't show your face in the street... but greed doesn't let many to clearly see the whole picture nor the "price of their money".

[FullMooon]

Common cause of poverty is lucking on management because some of the politicians Always take advantage on the money of the people taxes they always create a corruption like in our country so many people here experiencing Poverty because the supply of food,work,money is less than to other people and town. because the politician of that town always taking money. that`s why the people inadequate on their needed.

[prospect 20]

To start with, environment contribute greatly to human existence because of social,economic, political, cultural and psychological factors it involves. Many countries government and system are extremely bad. It subdue all inhabitants under it.let know your own opinion.

[Markyway88]

The common cause of the poverty is lack of education of the people and the greediness of the government to their power.

[Sithara007]

The common cause of the poverty is lack of education of the people and the greediness of the government to their power.

Lack of education can be one of the reasons, but IMO the primary reason can be the lack of intelligence. If you don't have education or health, then it can be resolved. But if you don't have intelligence, then there is noway that you can succeed in life. No matter how much money and connections you have, without the intelligence you will never achieve anything.
