Laziness is one of the cause of poverty. Unable to do  work.procastination can also cause poverty.

[Timok Abiodun]

Illiteracy
Over population
Greed and corruption
Lack of empowerment

Droughts, floods, hurricanes and other unexpected natural events cause deaths, illness and loss of income.  In better connected communities, families are able to come out of poverty and get on with their lives, but other remote and less accessible communities suffer for longer periods.

There are many factors leading to poverty.
1 lack of education
2 corrupt government
3 war and crimes
4 frequent visit of natural disaster
5 unnatural spread of diseases.
and many more.
But the question is, what are we doing about it? What are the actions of the people/government to lighten the burden caused by poverty? Is it enough?

[ryanwalker389]

Laziness, lack of information, the government itself.

The lack of education. The lack of it can lead to unemployment. Then if that happened you have a hardtime to support well the needs of your family. Inorder to prevent this let's strive hard to finish college.And if were already educated then we have already the chance to defeat poverty.

In India, the poorest states are the ones which are having highest birth rates. On the other hand, the states where the total fertility rate is below replacement level do have good living standards. For example, in the state of Bihar the fertility rate is 3.4 children per women. It is one of the poorest regions in India. On the other hand, states such as Kerala and Tamil Nadu have fertility rates of around 1.7 children per women, and they are very developed.

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?

Most common cause of poverty, of course less foods or insufficient foods, clothes, and shelter. But we can avoid poverty if we all are work for life just think the children. Don't produced so many children life is so hard.

If we thought well, There are many things we can see that is a common cause of poverty. First is theft of politicians sitting in government, Second is not paying the right taxes of wealthy entrepreneurs and so much more. It is like the behavior of other people who do not want to see their fellow to have a good/better life.

[Dapper]

Well, for one, people do not have equal abilities.  Some are faster, taller, better at hunting, better at fishing, better at storing berries.... Etc. Etc... Over the generations, this adds up.

Sometimes while watching CNN featured a poverty that effects the entire land I saw a children,mother, father without outside wearing. The form of their body is not attractive to observe. Seeing them is like seeing an animal without shelter, without a proper way of standard living. After they play the lives of people who lives in a desert live, they shown the lives of people who live inside the big palace or I could say the people who work in the government. They have a nice live, nice body, very nice cars, looking good children. What the point is corruption and stealing the wealth of the people through taxes and many more greedyness is a major reason of poverty.
Somehow wars is a reason too. Wars can destroyed everybody's property. To destroy everything the owner will start from the beginning.

[whalez]

The two major cause i can think of is corruption and bad governance or absence of it entirely.

I think the common reason of poverty is a slow development. It is not a fault of the biggest countries. It is just a result of competition.

[star_lord]

there are countries that really lack resources and combined with corruption, and Big countries are even getting the remaining resources that they have.

[Hipag]

The common cause of poverty is luck of education, corruption, crime, war and many more.

Low compensation of the family and having a large family even if you cannot fulfill ypur needs. Sometimes we made our problem in our own without realizing it like making your family bigger without thinking your future to be or not thinking what will be your future if you don't finish your schooling.

Some causes of poverty are, changing trends in a country's economy, lack of education, high divorce rate which causes feminization of poverty, having a culture of poverty, overpopulation, epidemic diseases such as AIDS and malaria, and environmental problems such as lack of rainfall and others.
