[jhamiaseo28]

for me, corrupt officials of the goverment seems to the problem if they just use the money of the people properly it can really help to feed those who really needs it...

[vados333]

Laziness, lack of information, the government itself.

Nope... the no.1 cause is over-population and the scarcity of the resources which results from it. If the population density is low enough, then the individuals will be having enough wealth to distribute among themselves.

I think the  common cause of poverty is being "LAZY". People are lazy maybe because they came from a well-off family and they are not force to work co'z they don't have to. But there are people also that they just don't like to work. They are contented of what they have and some also are just waiting it's just like a parasite. But the saddest thing there is that, the one who have none are the one although not all are LAZY.

One of the common causes of poverty is-
 Lack of education: Education is one which has enabled many people to overcome  causes of poverty. Hence you can see almost all the nations in the world spend a lot on education. They provide even scholarships to those from economically backward families. Because of education, there was spread of scientific knowledge. Hence there was progress regarding the production of automobiles, electronic gadgets which made huge profits to the manufacturers. There was also rise in employment due to such growth in economic benefits. So on careful observation, one can notice that poverty countries are those who lack sufficient education among their population.

I don't think so. Even in a world of abundance there'll always be a group of people that will own significantly more than everybody else. Most people are just simply satisified with very little and don't strive for more. Only very few people keep pushing no matter how far they go. You can see this phenomenon literally everywhere, from wealth distribution, to gaming skills, to academic or athletic achievement, in art and music, you name it.

Dying because of poverty is a helpless situation. There is a certain happening that it is very sad. It always happen in some ccountries that happening this now. Very sad problem that even the king cannot solve. This actually happen in kingship countries. While the king live in luxury the people dying.

Reminds me of monarchies such as Swaziland, where the citizens are dirt poor and the emperor is busy spending all the money on expensive vehicles such as BMW and on monstrous palaces with obscene luxuries.

 In my opinion the common couse of poverty is laziness!  Take a lesson from the ants  learn from their ways and     become wise.. another couse , poverty mindset .work hard be self-reliance.

[stantpro]

Even with education, a lot of people don't get employment in their countries.
The reason for poverty most of the times is disabled economic environment
where one dwells.Corrupt and greedy government may not provide necessary
amenities for industries to thrive so as to provide employment for the populace.
Lack of electricity, good roads, good water, basic education and employment
creation are reasons for poverty in a society.Let the government do their promises.

[Kamidzy7]

A feeling of pity towards himself. Many knowingly set themselves up for poverty, considering themselves unworthy of wealth. We firmly believe that they are not destined to be rich. Some feel sorry for themselves that they were born a woman, considering men to be people with great opportunities, others – for the full figure. Self-pity is the best way to transfer responsibility to another person. She's like an anchor to hold you in place.

Poverty is not caused by a single factor, nor does it occur linearly. Instead, poverty is plural and is caused by several factors that are related to one another. In principle there are three factors causing poverty, namely structural factors, cultural factors, and limited natural resources. Like someone who is lazy to work and try.Individual (pathological) diseases that see poverty as a result of behavior, choice, or ability of the poor.
The cause of the family, linking poverty with family education.
Subcultural causes (subcultural), connecting poverty with daily life, studied or run in the neighborhood.
The cause of the agency, which sees poverty as a result of the actions of others, including war, government, and the economy.

Sometimes the location that a person is born and raised contributes to whether he is going to be poor in life or not, I know intelligent people who didn't amount to their potential irrespective to how much they tried in life.

[Heybeehee]

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.

Poverty is the result of people laziness and it's a fact. If you will ask homless guy why did he became homless he will answer that it's not his fault. But he's lying for sure.

[shiki3226]

Lack of education and laziness are in my opinion 2 most of common reason of poverty. When people doesn't have the knowledge, skills and the motivation to work and improve themselves, then they would have less chance to unleash their potential.

The common source of piverty is lack of education. There are many ways to attend formal schooling, but these people tend to choose not to because they are dependent on what the govenrnent will provide. Lazyness is one also of the reasons. Poverty rate will go down if people have this drive to help themselves out from the poverty line. Dont depend on other people or the government for your survival.
