SEATTLE — While there are many variables in an economy that can create poverty, unemployment is one of the most common causes. Global unemployment is such a serious issue with the total number of jobless individuals reaching 1.1 billion only in top 10 most populous nations. How unemployment creates poverty can be seen through both direct and indirect effects experienced by many economies around the world. 1. The Loss of Income
The obvious, straightforward answer of how unemployment creates poverty is through the loss of income. With joblessness comes a loss of income, and many families are left without sufficient incomes to meet living expenses. This can lead to indebtedness from borrowing money to support one’s needs, use of savings or even to homelessness and malnutrition if individuals are unable to find other sources of finance. When individuals are forced to use savings to cover costs today, their future retirement funds are reduced.
