Question

Which best explains why India is suffering from widespread poverty, even though it has a rapidly growing economy?

Its population is also growing rapidly.
It has no way to distribute available food.
It has a shortage of healthy and able workers.
Its government has no ability to treat sick people.

Answer 1

Its population is also growing rapidly.

Rapid population growth can outpace economic gains, so even with high GDP growth total wealth per person (per capita income) stays low and many people remain poor; unequal distribution of growth and unemployment/underemployment also contribute.
