causes of poverty
one of the biggest cause of rural poverty is due to the fast-growing population rate. it places huge pressure on the environment, causing problems such as erosion and flooding, which in turn leads to low agricultural productivity.









































the causes of urban poverty are due to the limited employment opportunities, degraded environment, bad housing and sanitation. the urban poor hold jobs that are labour demanding, thus affecting their health conditions. therefore, the urban poor are in a difficult situation to escape poverty.
