    "Discrimination is both a cause and a consequence of poverty." Explain.

    Answer:

    Ans.     No doubt discrimination is both cause and a consequence of poverty. Discrimination is often linked to prejudice. It refers to the behaviours that makes a distinction between the rich and the poor, favouring the rich and the advantaged over the poor and the disadvantaged. This distinction can be seen in matters of social interaction, education and employment. Thus, even if the poor or disadvantaged have the capability, they are kept away from the opportunities that are enjoyed by the rest of society. The children of the poor do not get a chance to study in good schools or get good health facilities and employment. Social disadvantage and discrimination prevent the poor from improving their socio-economic condition through their own efforts and this makes the poor even more poor. In short, poverty and discrimination are related in such a way that the discrimination becomes both a cause and a consequence of poverty.
