What Are the Causes of Poverty? How Can Poverty Be Eliminated?
Poverty is still a big problem in many countries of the world. People cannot help to ask: What are the causes of Poverty? H-ow can poverty be eliminated? In my opinion, Unsuitable gove-rnment policies and diseases are the main causes of poverty.
Unsuitable government policies include war and poor economic policies. Firstly, wars caused by any reason could cost huge a-mounts of money and damage the whole economy of the coun-try heavily. As a certain result, people will suffer from poverty. Secondly, bad economic policies are connected with people’s li-fe. Bad economic policies can lead people to poverty. Besides, paying too much attention to politics instead of trying to devel-op economy causes poverty. To illustrate, in some countries, th-e political leaders are idolized and politics always acts as the focus of people’s life, So people live in top poverty.
Disease is another main cause of poverty. The first reason, cur-ing serious diseases requires a lot of money. That is a heavy burden on many families. In some developing countries, health insurance system can only cover few people. Serious diseases will put the families in debts. Even in advanced countries, heal-th insurance system cannot cover all expense or any conditions,diseases also make the families feel tight in their life. Another reason, Diseases make people lose job opportunities. On the on-e hand, Serious diseases make people lose their work ability. On the other hand, some companies refuse employing people with serious illness. No work opportunities lead people to pov-erty direc-tly.
Since we already know that poverty is caused by government policies and diseases, we can also find the proper way to solve the problem. The long and short of it is: to eliminate poverty, governments should establish suitable economic and political policies, people should live in a healthy life style.
