Question

Drag and drop to identify the factors contributing to South Asia’s high poverty rates. Each phrase may be used once or not at all
Large populations
Unequal treatment of women
Low population growth rates
Elimination of the caste system

Answer 1

Here are the factors contributing to South Asia’s high poverty rates:

- **Large populations**
- **Unequal treatment of women**

The other two phrases do not contribute to high poverty rates in South Asia:

- **Low population growth rates** (this does not contribute to high poverty; rather, high population growth can strain resources)
- **Elimination of the caste system** (this would be a positive change and could help reduce poverty, rather than contribute to it)
