Extreme Poverty in low income countries- do we choose to be poor or the world impose poverty to us !!

United Nations definition of poverty: “Fundamentally, poverty is a denial of choices and opportunities, a violation of human dignity. It means a lack of basic capacity to participate effectively in society. It means not having enough food and clothing for a family, not having a school or clinic to go to, not having the land on which to grow one’s food or a job to earn one’s living, not having access to credit. It means insecurity, powerlessness and exclusion of individuals, households and communities. It means susceptibility to violence, and it often implies living in marginal or fragile environments, without access to clean water or sanitation”.“Almost half the world, over 3 billion people, lives on less than $2.50 a day. The GDP (Gross Domestic Product) of the 41 Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (567 million people) is less than the wealth of the world’s 7 richest people combined. Nearly a billion people entered the 21st century unable to read a book or sign their names. Less than one per cent of what the world spent every year on weapons was needed to put every child into school by the year 2000 and yet it didn’t happen. 1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world). 640 million live without adequate shelter, 400 million have no access to safe water, and 270 million have no access to health services. 10.6 million died in 2003 before they reached the age of 5 (or roughly 29,000 children per day)” - Anup Shah (Global Issues, 2009.02.20). Dr Muhammad Yunus defines poverty as “Poverty is the absence of all human rights. The frustrations, hostility and anger generated by abject poverty cannot sustain peace in any society. For building stable peace we must find ways to provide opportunities for people to live decent lives.” 

Globalisation, Poverty Reduction & Human Development: Globalisation and poverty both have verifiable roots. The two are profoundly connected to each other. Globalization is not an idea of this century but rather examined demonstrates that it is an old one. Globalisation has three stages. The first one by the end of World War one1870 and 1914, the second stage was by the end of World War two until the mid-1970s, and the third stage is from that time to the present, (Maitra, P.1997). Globalisation is concerned basically with the inquiry, how the relationship between Economic Globalization and Human Development can be figured out how to encourage neediness diminishment. Monetary development is the most effective instrument to decrease neediness and enhancing personal satisfaction in creating nations. It is a procedure to diminish destitution, unemployment, disparity among countries through human advancement to build national wellbeing, or something more reasonable, for example, guaranteeing individuals' opportunities, guarantee their monetary security, making the law work for everybody for both male and female, guarantee the efficiency of a person through training. As of late United Nations Development program concentrated on 'Human Development' through the future, access to every one of the three levels of instruction, grown-up education, and normal pay of the populace. The main sources of destitution in low-pay nations: Poverty is the most noticeably bad scenario in human progress. The world is wealthier than it is ever before and there is by all accounts more needy individuals than at any time in recent memory. The world innovation is even effective than at any other time "Destitution is feebleness". We live in a time of compelling innovative progression and in addition, abnormal state human advancement yet at the same time neediness has a place with this humanized human culture. Numerous studies have been occurred to discover the underlying drivers of destitution. There are a few elements of neediness, however, the primary driver of decisions in a specific region now and again relies on upon the specific geological area, henceforth, are some basic reasons for destitution also. Here I am attempting to take a gander at the primary driver:1. Overpopulation 2. Education3. Corruption4. Deaths caused by poverty-related diseasesPoverty Related Death Every day:

• 620 people are diagnosed with leprosy, one every two minutes

• 24,100 are diagnosed with TB

• 1,100 babies are born HIV positive

• 5,500 people die from AIDS-related illness

• 2,900 children die from malaria

• 3,800 people die from TB, including 1,400 women of childbearing age

The vicious circle of poverty A'' Country is poor become it is poor: Poverty is the scourge of human development. Both the individual and the state experience the ill effects of is course. A prudent circle is a financial trap. Officer Nurkse, ''Problems of Capital Formation in Underdeveloped Countries'' tells that 'an endless loop of neediness is the significant reason for destitution in Low-Income Countries. He said, "A nation is poor since it is poor. Poor nations have little capacity to spare. Low investment funds result in a lack o capital. At the point when profitability is low, the genuine salary will surely be low thus their neediness and the endless loop is finished".Both the individual and the state suffer from is a curse. A virtuous circle is an economic trap. Ranger Nurkse, ''Problems of Capital Formation in Underdeveloped Countries’’ tells that the 'vicious circle of poverty is the major cause of poverty in Low-Income Countries.  He said, “A country is poor because it is poor. Poor countries have little ability to save. Low savings results in a deficiency o capital. When productivity is low the real income will certainly be low and so there poverty and a vicious circle is complete”.At the end of the day, the Vicious Circle of Poverty can be condensed as monetary components allude to variables of creation, for example, work, land assets and capital. "The endless loop of neediness" stressed the connection amongst underdevelopment and absence of capital. It can be utilized at both national and global levels. The endless loop begins with individual level stressing needy individual as to when a man is poor he can't pay for sufficient sustenance and therefore he is physically frail and absence of physical wellness gets wastefulness work and this circle make him not able to procure lastly stays poor.10. Political System & Political Violence11. Gender discrimination 12. Natural disaster13. Adapting to High Living standard14. Unemployment15. Environmental degradation  According to World Bank, Neediness is a torment; it feels like an illness. It assaults a man physically as well as ethically. It destroys one's pride and drives one into the aggregate gloom. As per US Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, ''The poor are not dumb they have heaps of thoughts, they are extremely entrepreneurial, they know how to make frameworks that advantage them, they simply should be a piece of the framework, and those at the highest point of the need this is not a danger but rather this is the way popular government and a nation need to work."There is always a question in my mind in my psyche that why needy individuals can't turn out from the trap of destitution? It is a society that is the part of the framework that causes destitution and arrangement must originate from the general public also in light of the fact that everything connects.
