Poverty - Social Issue

Poverty is another worldwide social issue. Poverty is a state of being poor with lack of finances. A poor people is treated very badly in the society, making them feel so bad and humiliated suppose they do not have any right to live. Even the government and government officials do not support or help them to overcome from this situation.
Poverty is also a major cause for various other social issues. It increases crime-rate, poverty also forces poor families to get their children work which increases 'child-labour'. To fight against poverty, government needs to take several steps, provide some employment opportunities for poor families, and basic education. But condition of poverty can not be minimized just by providing these opportunities, even the families needs to understand their problem and needs to save money, stop spending money on bad-habits and grasp all the opportunities coming their way.
