Question

Managing population growth and controlling environmental degradation are two ways to help alleviate poverty.

Answer 1

Poverty is the situation of not being able to satisfy the basic physical and mental needs of a decent life due to lack of resources such as food, housing, education, healthcare, drinking water or electricity. Poverty can affect a person, a group of people or an entire geographic region.

The sentence is false because according to the World Bank, work must be done on the following aspects to reduce the poverty:

1. Development and nutrition in early childhood

2. Universal access to quality education

3. Universal health coverage

4. Progressive taxation

5. Rural infrastructure
