How can creation of income earning assets address the problem of poverty?


Answer:
The problem of poverty cannot be solved by giving food grains to the poor or distributing clothes lo them as no government can keep doing these activities for long due to lack of resources.
 Poverty can effectively be eradicated only when the poor start earning for themselves and in turn contribute to growth by their active involvement in the growth process. 

This is possible by providing income generating assets to the poor in the form of land for agriculture, tools and instruments to set up self employment units and giving them proper training which will enhance their income earning capacity. 

This can help poor people to participate in economic activities and make them empowered. This will also help create employment opportunities which may lead to increase in levels of income, skill development, health and literacy and thus poor can be assured of income per month which will help him lo come above the poverty line.
