Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "It's the product of inefficient elements of the whole economic system".

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Poverty culture seems to be a term of social science that argues that perhaps the beliefs of individuals living of deprivation perform an important role to play in propagating their miserable status, continuing a poverty trap through centuries.
  • It provides one way to measure or to understand why there is suffering amid efforts to reduce suffering.

Therefore, it's the right answer.
