State with reasons whether you agree or disagree with the statement:Regional imbalance is the only cause of poverty.

Answer»

No, I do not agree with the statement. 

The causes of poverty besides regional imbalance are as follows: 

Population explosion: Due to the increase in population, poverty is growing rapidly. 

Slow economic growth: There is slow industrial and agricultural growth due to which the economy is growing slowly.

Unemployment and Underemployment: Unemployment is the major factor of increased poverty.

Economic inequalities: There are inequalities in the distribution of income, assets, consumption expenditure, which in fact have increased poverty.

Besides these, there are many other causes like: 

  • Inaccessibility to infrastructural facility 
  • Inflation in the country 
  • The vicious circle of poverty 
  • Other factors – like gender discrimination, corruption, natural disasters, etc.
