520 _aThe phenomenon of poverty has remained a burning issue before any nation with little variations in its magnitude. Efforts have been made from every section to minimise the effect of this problem. Among many others, social scientists too felt strongly to study the nature of poverty and see its effects. This book is an attempt in this direction. The book highlights the sociological, cultural, economic and psychological explanations of poverty. Describing this problem from various points of view the authors highlight different types and models of poverty as extended by economists, sociologists and psychologists. These models explain the nature of poverty differently by giving the reasons of changes in social lives and behavioural patterns. Apart from describing the very nature of poverty the book also attempts to establish relationship between ecological settings and poverty which eventually lead to behavioural changes. They argue further on highlighting the perils caused by the effect of poverty on human development. The book also discusses various damages to psychological growth due to poverty.
