As I grow older, I’ve come to realize that personal effort often pales in comparison to the power of existing social systems. Poverty isn’t just about the lack of financial resources—what’s even more disheartening is that discussions about poverty are usually led by those who have never experienced it themselves.
Poverty is not caused by one or two factors in a country only but there are various other ancillary factors in addition to the socio economic condition of a country. Poverty is caused by the geographical location of some countries especially if the country is located in an environment where it is not possible to produce agricultural products and has to depend on exports of other countries for agricultural products. Again if a country lacks education among its population and also if that country has to depend on importing goods from other countries for mineral resources especially energy and infrastructural development then that country gradually turns into a poor population.

If a country is experiencing difficulties in terms of the economy, of course it will be difficult for most people to get jobs with decent incomes to be able to meet the needs they need and there will be many people who will become poor because of these conditions.
Related to agriculture, if we continue to rely on imported products, of course it will be difficult for some people who have low incomes to be able to enjoy agricultural products, so it is important for them to be able to think of an idea that can indeed build the agricultural sector even though their country does not have a good geographical location for planting agriculture.
If the population of a country is lagging behind in the field of education, of course the government must focus on developing the field of education so that their country can continue to experience development towards a better state than before.
