POVERTY

Poverty means the state of being extremely poor or the state of being inferior in
quality or insufficient in amount. It is a condition where people's basic needs
for food, clothing, and shelter are not being met. Poverty is generally of
two types: Absolute poverty and Relative poverty.
Absolute poverty or destitution involves a lack of basic necessities including
food, clothingsanitation, shelter, health care and education.
Relative poverty or economic inequality occurs when people have less income
than other people in the country/unable to participate fully in the normal
activities of their society.

SCARCITY OF CLEAN DRINKING WATER
Potable water is enough safe to be consumed by humans or used with low risk of immediate or
long term harm. In most developed countries, the water supplied to households, commerce and
industry meets drinking water standards, even though only a very small proportion is actually
consumed or used in food preparation. Over large parts of the world, humans have inadequate
access to potable water and use sources contaminated with disease vectors,pathogens or
unacceptable levels of toxins. Drinking or using such water in food preparation leads to
widespread acute and chronic illnesses and is a major cause of death and misery in many
countries. Reduction of waterborne diseases is a major public health goal in developing
countries.

Child labour
Child labour refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives children of their
childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and that is mentally, physically,
socially or morally dangerous and harmful.

This practice is considered exploitative by
many international organisations.
[4][5]
The laws do not consider all work by children as child
labour; exceptions include work by child artists, supervised training, certain categories of work
such as those by Amish children. Before 1940, numerous children aged 514 worked in Europe,
the United States and various colonies of European powers. These children worked in
agriculture, home-based assembly operations, factories and mining.
