This is the root cause of poverty. Employment paves the way for regular income to fulfil one’s needs. Without proper employment, it is difficult to earn for even bread and butter.
2. Inadequate access to food/Hunger:
People living under poverty do not have enough money to buy food grains which results in under nourishment which sometimes turns fatal also.
3. Lack of purchasing power:
People who do not have income often do not have the power to purchase things they require.
Livelihood depends mainly on income which enables a person to lead a better and healthy life.
