Primary Causes of Poverty
Thesis : Poverty is a complex problem caused by sudden crises, generational cycles of
disadvantage, and economic structures, which together make it hard for people to become
financially stable and improve their lives.

people who lose their jobs suddenly
face financial issues that make it hard for
them to cover their basic needs and
maintain their well-being financially
