TYPES OF POVERTY

 Food, clothing, and shelter are not the only aspects of poverty. In the modern world, there are various forms of poverty. Let's learn about the different sorts of poverty discussed in this blog.

First, let's define poverty.

It is a predicament in which a person or group lacks basic needs and other necessities. a circumstance where a person is unable to meet their daily essential necessities.

Types of poverty :-

 Situational Poverty                                                                                                       It is a relatively typical occurrence. This kind of poverty is something that everyone has encountered in their lives. It is a stage when a person is dealing with a challenging circumstance in their life, such as unemployment, a medical emergency, or family issues. Situational poverty, to put it simply, is a precarious financial status. This kind of poverty may have existed during the pandemic, when the majority of those who relied on monthly pay checks lost their employment.

Generational Poverty                                                                                                    Living in a family that has been impoverished for more than two generations is essentially what it means. Depending on how you were raised, your dreams should reflect the fact that you come from a middle-class home. It is quite difficult to get out of that cycle because it shapes an individual in accordance with that.

Absolute Poverty                                                                                                          It describes a family whose income is so low that they are unable to meet their basic daily needs, including food, clothing, shelter, education, health care, etc. It really signifies nothing at all. 

Relative Poverty                                                                                                            It means that even while someone may be making ends meet on a monthly pay check, they still have access to food, shelter, and all other necessities of life, even though they may not be as wealthy as those around them. Despite this, the person is still likely struggling in his life. 

Rural Poverty                                                                                                                It alludes to a lack of resources, such as unemployed people, shoddy infrastructure, a lack of modern technology, inadequate medical care, etc.

THE CYCLE OF POVERTY

Image
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

UNEMPLOYMENT'S IMPACT ON POVERTY

Image
Simply put, being unemployed means not having a job. a circumstance where a person is able to work to provide for their fundamental necessities yet is unable to find employment. Poverty breeds unemployment, and unemployment breeds poverty. In general, poverty happens when a person is unable to meet his fundamental needs, including those for food, clothing, and shelter. That is what establishes a connection between unemployment and poverty. There are 97 million individuals in India who live in extreme poverty, out of a total population of 1.39 billion, which has an impact on the country's economy. India's unemployment is caused by a variety of factors, including:- Caste system                                                                                                                                          Due to the prevalent caste system in India, jobs are often allocated to people who belong to a certain community rather than candidates who deserve them, which raises 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. Most people are unaware of how much low-income households and extreme poverty can affect children's health and cognitive development. Poverty, on the other hand, has an impact on growth beginning in early life, beginning with brain development and other bodily systems. Poverty can have a deleterious impact on how the body and mind develop, and economic stress can change the underlying structure of a child's brain. Children who are exposed to risk factors connected with poverty, either directly or indirectly, are more likely to develop poor health problems as adults, such as heart disease, hypertension, stroke, obesity,
