Sociology: Global Issue of Poverty
Introduction
This paper is containing an argumentative discussion about a global issue or challenge
of poverty which is majorly affecting development of India. In the year 2018,
World Poverty Clock (WPC), reported that at least 5.3% or 70.6 million Indian public is
living within extreme poverty conditions compared to 87 million or 44% Nigerians.
Furthermore, recent data is suggesting that till the end of 2019, Nigeria as well as Congo will
surpass India in terms of whole population earning below $1.9 per day. In this way, this
discussion is majorly arguing that poverty being a severe social issue affecting Indian
development at a large scale (Kannan, 2017). However, the present condition of poverty in
contrast of proposed policies and schemes created by the Indian Govt. is clearly indicating
that poverty will be no more the reason behind the obstructed growth of India. In this way,
this discussion will contain an annotated bibliography, thesis statement along with a topic
sentence section for concluding the main findings.

According to (Kannan, 2017), the high rate of Indian development in terms of Indian
economy has been much applauded. However, the Indian growth has made its way to the
poor because of the social issue of poverty. This study suggests that within a radical
assessment of ‘complete growth’, the influence of neo-liberal policies over employment,
poverty as well as inequality is considerable within a growth context. In addition, the study
critiqued the market-friendly economic transformation for the poor people as well as
proposed ways to reduce poverty and deprivation as well. In this journal, the author used an
exhaustive data through the formal as well as informal sectors for creating a profile of
the common man. In this way, author advocated the requirement for an extensive-based
growth as well as development strategy which can alone address the multi-directional social
and economic inequities within the country India (Kannan, 2017).
