While many people are blaming poverty on the poor, this problem has been greatly increased by social attributes. Poor education, community, low wages, immigration, and limited work prospects are the social causes of poverty. The male is the major personality over females in almost every culture today and whites are considered dominant above all other communities. In each of the social causes of poverty, the gender or ethnicity of an individual comes into play. Growing poverty is inseparably linked to increasing homeless rates, and many children and families are especially affected by these circumstances by under nutrition / starvation.
Poverty is all about not being able to earn enough money, which leads to scarcity including that of food, shelter, clothing and to make ends meet. Poverty, nevertheless, is something, far more than simply not earning or having enough money. One thing is clear, despite the several interpretations; poverty is a complicated societal issue (1). No matter how it can be accepted and how poverty is described, that it is a problem that needs the attention of everyone. It is essential for all members of our community to work together and provide all of other remaining member with the ability to create an enabling environment.

Poverty also weakens the democracy, affects the competitiveness, weakens the economic growth, increases the crime rate as well as widens the gap between poor and rich, rather than eradicating it.

Classical problem of poverty, focusing on one own beliefs and who to listen to, fault is directed in various directions. Poor people are also described as weak and undeserving, unmotivated, of community assistance, individuals that have created 'bad decisions' and should bear the consequences, that it is an individual problem-the individual cause of poverty. Other 'framing' that has seen is systemic, and accompanied by an analysis of the socio-economic opportunities of people.
A lack of opportunities exists for those, who are less well off. Advocacy organizations need to set arguments to both the individual behaviours, such as donating money or food to the underprivileged, along with implementing social and cultural policy changes, such as increasing the allocation of resources to solve poverty-related issues in order to tackle the problem of inequality (3). Ideally, both kinds of replies should be elicited by efficient poverty eradication communications.

There are many causes of the poverty and as it is increasing, new causes are coming up. The first cause is inequality and marginalization, Inequality is a plain, but often-misleading concept used to describe the structural challenges that leave groups of individuals within their societies without a platform or recognition (4). Other causes are malnutrition, hunger, conflict, lack of education, climate change, poor healthcare system and poor infrastructure and public work.
