Growth of poverty level is largely due to
misunderstanding poverty. Measures controlling poverty should be linked to the
suitability of the country, as reasons of poverty changes due to social
conditions of the country. For example, countries like India and other who has
thick population and dominated by illiterates and semi- literates
(semi-literate means with less literacy level which deprives them from
employment in high tech or medium industries). This category does not fit into

most suitable. This growth of poverty level is largely due to misunderstanding

SUBJECT that is enjoyed by poets/ writers and politicians. Is curse for who
experience, and boon as a subject for politicians to promise for vote! And
subject of appreciation by public to writers and poets! Many books have been
written and many promises made, nevertheless, poverty level has dominated the
world. Governments and International Organizations who study and spend
exorbitant amount in their research on poverty and things end up in racks with
full of files and books on poverty. Many problems in social structure when
accumulated, poverty is borne. That may be unemployment, over population,
education, government performance, and relation with neighboring country:
