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.
