The causes of poverty – 1
People who do not get enough nutrition will lack the energy to work. Their immune systems will also be weakened as a result of malnutrition, making them more vulnerable to illness.

Malaria, diarrhea, and respiratory infections (pneumonia) are easily avoidable and curable in countries with developed healthcare systems. But in countries with poor systems, those diseases can be fatal, especially in young children. Traveling far to clinics or paying for medicine can push a family into extreme poverty.

Furthermore, over 2 billion people lack access to safe drinking water. Water infrastructure issues, such as sanitation and hygiene facilities, may worsen the situation.

Part E_5 Reading
The causes of poverty – 2
Droughts and flooding caused by climate change may result in hunger. Its consequences contribute to the poverty cycle.

Many of the world’s poorest people rely on farming, hunting, and gathering for food and income. Therefore, when climate change or natural disasters leave millions of people hungry, recovery becomes even more difficult.

Unemployment caused by conflict or illness can be compensated for with cash and loans. If a harvest is lost due to a natural disaster, food storage can help. However, these resources are frequently unavailable to people living in extreme poverty. In the Democratic Republic of the Congo, for example, natural resources have been taken due to colonial rule. This has led to land conflicts, and people have been forced away from their source of food and income.
