MAJOR REASONS OR CAUSES OF HUNGER
1). LACK OF FOOD: Lack of is one of the major causes of hunger. When food is not available there will be hunger. And there are cause for lack of food. And one of them is money.
Money is anything that is generally accepted for purchase of goods and services. When money is not available, people cant feed and its unhealthy.
2). UNEMPLOYMENT: Unemployment is unavailability of job. When there is no job, there is no source of income. The rate of hunger will be high.
3). POOR GOVERNMENT: When the government is bad, when there is no good governmental policies in the state or country, the rate of hunger will be high. Bad governmental policies is unhealthy for her citizens. It brings hardship, it brings hunger.
4). POOR FAMILY BACKGROUND: Yes poor family background. Its one of the cause of hunger. When the family background is poor it affects the generation of that family. When a family does not have a good reputation the is every tendency that there will be hunger. Because no one can assist one another. There will be no good opportunity.
5). ILLITERACY: Illiteracy is lack of knowledge, no educational background. People suffer for lack of knowledge. And even when there is job opportunity they cant stand out. Because they are uneducated. And its also of factor.
