What is the causes of poverty?
Understanding global poverty involves stepping back from the infinite variety of circumstantial misfortune experienced at household level. A vantage point of history will observe that most poor countries were vassals of the great colonial powers of the 19th and 20th centuries. The exit strategies pursued in granting independence cemented geographical boundaries that were inspired more by the politics of empire than the creation of new nation states. Too many countries found themselves lacking a critical mass of resources or population, landlocked, or seething with irreconcilable ethnic division. A significant proportion of global poverty exists in war-torn and post-conflict countries. The newly independent countries also lacked capacity to punch their weight in international negotiations. This has been most apparent in the evolution of global trade rules which have prevented them from reproducing proven models of industrialization. Agriculture has been similarly impeded by massive subsidies available to US and European farmers. The consequence has been inability to break free of the shackles of the colonial economic model which depends largely on the export of natural resources. Control over domestic development strategies has also been hampered by conditions for concessionary grants and loans. Designed to create macroeconomic stability, these have cut back state activity and impeded the provision of education, health, social safety nets and opportunities for work. It has to be said that many governments have been the architects of their own misfortunes. Self-perpetuating kleptomaniac governance has drained economic growth through corruption politics. Weak democracy perverts the allocation of resources, most apparent in African government's failure to meet their own commitment to invest in agriculture, the core need of the vast majority of their populations. The broader lack of institutional capacity and infrastructure hinders delivery of aid programs and business investment alike. Population growth places great demands on poverty reduction programs but it is not an underlying cause of poverty. Rich countries have themselves emerged successfully from periods of high population growth that coincided with industrial development.

Answer
The main thing which is causing poverty is money being given out unfairly. Many people who are living in poverty cannot go to university and get a job which can pay for things because they have no money to keep them there at university. Also, how some people (e.g government) are being cruel and giving people interest on their bills or mortgage. The world is not a fair place and we have to try to make it fair for everyone.
Why are people most likely to live in poverty than others?
There are many answers to this question. Just some of the reasons are; maybe the country doesnt have any natural resources to make goods out of to sell. Maybe the country has a stupid or selfish or ignorant leader. Maybe the country has a religeon that doesn't value making money. Maybe they have no land that can grow food. Maybe they don't get enough water. Maybe they get too much water.
Most countries that are rich are countries that give more freedom to their citizens, letting them own property and allowing them to keep the results of their industry. Power equals Freedom. The more Power the government has, the less freedom the citizens have.
Also the more Capitalistic a country is, the richer it tends to be. Capitalism is a good thing as long as it is tempered with respect for our fellow man.

Why does God allow some people to be poor?
God's existence is as imaginary as Santa Clause or the Tooth Fairy.
It is pure theological sentimentalism to suggest that a person's life is governed by a supernatural Judge. This higher power unfairly places one baby in the home of an affluent family while dumping the other in the home of pauper. This higher power places one soul in a beautiful and wholesome body while punishing the other with the hellish imprisonment in a diseased and deformed body.
Religious leaders use God and Satan as a system of punishment and reward for what they determine to be Goodness or Sin, in order to subjugate their gullible followers.
People use the words written by other men as proof of their religious theologies but never can they produce the realistic evidence as proof.
OpinionGOD DOES EXIST ....and the reason why people are super pour even if he exists ....is because they dont pray to him....they are waiting for the miracle to come out of the blue and its not going to happen unless they start praying constantly ad putting all their difficulties on GOD'S hands because everything can be done through him ....sometimes people give up on GOD and they way that they give up o God is that they grow tired of praying because they see nothing ut that is when God is testing our faith in him ..but when people see nothing is when they stop praying and that is when god gets disapointed and gives up on then like they say god doenst hear the one in need that doesnt talk to him ...and the oly way to talk to god is through a prayer .. so they way to do it is to keep praying until he answers and even if it takes a long time but surely i assure you with all my heart that GOD will answer you ....just remember keep praying and never give up on him and he wont give up on you ....I WISH YOU GREAT LUCK AND I KNOW IF YOU DO IT WITH ALL YOUR HEART HE WILL LISTEN TO YOU BECAUSE I DO IT WITH MY HEART AND NEVER GIVE UP UNTIL HE ANSWERS MY PETITIONS AND IT WORKS ... BELIEVE IN HIM (DIOS LOS BENDIGA)
