What is poverty? What are the dimensions of poverty? How does rapid growth rate of population increase poverty in a country?

Answer»

Answer:

Poverty is the state of not having enough material possessions or income for a person's basic needs. Poverty may include social, economic, and POLITICAL elements. ABSOLUTE poverty is the complete lack of the means NECESSARY to meet basic PERSONAL needs, such as food, clothing, and shelter.

The three major dimensions of poverty are Economic, Health and Education.

First, rapid population growth is likely to reduce per capita income growth and well-being, which tends to increase poverty. Second, in densely populated poor nations with PRESSURE on land, rapid population growth increases landlessness and hence the incidence of poverty.
