These leading factors contribute to poverty:
Corruption: Looks like every office or facility given to public has been hijacked by the upper class and the poor keep suffering due to that leading to more poverty.
Ignorance: When mixed with corruption it accelerates the increasing poverty. People do not know their rights which make it easy for corrupt elements to usurp the rights.
Dependency: Everyone is dependent on others leaving their own efforts out, not trying to make their carer leads to poverty.
Disease: Diseases and other infections are also a factor.
