THE IMPACT OF POVERTY ON EDUCATION

 


One of the most important factors influencing a person's life is their education. Children from low-income households are unable to invest in their education because the majority of their wages are used to pay for other necessities like food and other essentials, despite the fact that education is the primary factor that can improve a person's life in new ways. Only 6% of low-income households' money is spent on health and education, according to a research.

The main problems the world faces are poverty and lack of education. Due to financial difficulties, lower-income families may not send their children to school, or even if they do, they may not receive the required facilities or educational assistance. As a result, even after attending government schools, these children may end up working in menial jobs. hence there is increase in illiteracy. According to the 2011 census, Bihar has the lowest rate of literacy 47% among all the states. Bihar has the lowest rates of literacy for both men and women. Poverty is one aspect that has a big impact on education in India.

One-third of the world's poverty is found in India. Data from the National Statistical Office show that India's average literacy rate was 77.70 percent as of 2021. (NSO). In 2021, 84.70 percent of men and 70.30 percent of women in India will be literate.

India has a serious problem with poverty. 17% of the population live below the poverty line, which means that a lot more people are close to it. The global average for 2011 was 18.9%, in comparison. The issue is particularly acute for some demographic groups, such as women and children, who make up 35% of India's overall poor population.

THE CYCLE OF POVERTY

The phrase "The Cycle of Poverty" may be one you've heard. The premise that poor parents raise their children in poverty, who are then more likely to become poor parents themselves, is known as the "cycle of intergenerational poverty." It's vital to remember that children are more susceptible than adults to the harmful effects of poverty. Although there are a number of risk factors for poor households (such as single parent or single income households and low parental education), access to the labour market, high-quality childcare, and adequate employment and education for parents offer the best defence against further rising child poverty rates. The two-generation approach, which strives to enhance the family's economic growth and conditions by helping parents both as employees and as parents, is now the most effective method for breaking the cycle of poverty in families. Giving low-income parents the chance to pursue a higher education will provide the

HEALTH CONSEQUENCES OF CHILDHOOD POVERTY

  “Do you want your teeth, or do you want your heart to continue beating? You’ve got to figure out which one and balance it out. Sometimes I’ve had to omit the eyes and the teeth.”  This description focuses on one of the many barriers to health care, in this case cost, as reported by more than 100 relatively healthy, low-income adults in recent Commonwealth Fund.
