It not only can, it is the largest contributor. Depending upon which country you are a resident in. There are many countries where the lower paid jobs are below the accepted International poverty line. Become unemployed there and you face a life of scavenging on waste dumps and begging.

Poverty refers to people who do not have much money or things.

Most people rely on employment to obtain money, and therefore things.

If a person is unemployed, he or she will probably become impoverished, and stop buying stuff. With less people buying stuff, people making and selling stuff will no longer find any use for their products. Then they too become become unemployed, and the circle spreads.

On top of that, when people become poor they find it harder to study. If there's a school fee, they can't afford to pay it. Maybe they have to quit school to make some money anyhow, to get food and clothes.

And once you quit school it becomes harder to get a good-paying job, so maybe you won't be able to let your kids go to school (much) either. That way people and whole families gets stuck in poverty.
unemployed is being without a job. poverty is earning less than a dollar a day

poverty and unemployment are strongly connected to each other due to the basic reason of if you are unemployed then there is no way of having the basic essentials to life : food and water. Unemployment means there is no way of recieving money for the week or month to survive and pay for house rent or mortgages. People who are unemployed will suffer to find a way out of poverty with finding a job.This also relates to the uneducated in less economically developed countries as they havent got a choice but to starve; as suppose to those in the uk who get a free education and that should be respected 100% because people in the 'third world' hardly get a chance to show talent and rise in life........

A person who is employed has a stable and secured life where they dont have to depend on others to have the daily essentials day after day. Having a job provides the accompany of earning a decent amount of money per month/ annual and eventually by saving money from the wages you are able to escape poverty and get higher in finacial circumstances.

If a person doesn't have a skill or profession he/she is more likely to be umemployed or have a low paying job. Having a low paying job means very little money. Not having a job means no money. Without money a person can not buy the things needed to live. Therefore, he or she is in poverty.

Is there a link between ethnicity and poverty?

Yes, there is a link between ethnicity and poverty. Minority groups, such as Black and Hispanic populations, are disproportionately affected by poverty due to systemic inequalities and discrimination that limit access to resources and opportunities. These factors contribute to a cycle of poverty that is often more difficult to break out of for marginalized ethnic groups.

Unemployment leads to poverty because without employment a person has no reliable source of income. Every person has certain needs and wants (this could be related to consumption etc.) without any income a person cannot fulfill his/her basic needs. Poverty is a situation in which a person is unable to satisfy his/her wants. Now employment may be denied to a person because : that person might not have basic skills needed to accomplish the task(illiteracy),Or because of ill health, or because of discrimination /social exclusion. These reasons are either causes/outcomes of poverty. So you see unemployment leads to poverty but poverty too leads to unemployment.
