Poverty is primarily caused by socio-economic factors, such as lack of access to education, unemployment, and high cost of living. Genetic factors do not play a significant role in causing poverty.

Poverty is associated with a range of negative consequences, including poor health, lack of access to clean water and sanitation, and increased risk of violence and crime. Improved quality of life is not a consequence of poverty.

Poverty violates the right to life by depriving individuals of the basic necessities for survival, such as adequate food, shelter, and healthcare.

Poverty affects the right to education in multiple ways. It makes it difficult for children to attend school due to financial constraints or the need to work to support their families. It also reduces the quality of education available to children in poor communities, and increases the likelihood of children dropping out of school due to lack of resources or support.

Creating new social welfare programs is not a way in which human rights can be used to address poverty. Human rights are about empowering individuals to claim their rights and holding governments accountable for their obligations. Social welfare programs are government policies that aim to reduce poverty, but they are not a part of human rights.

The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights is the international human rights treaty that explicitly recognizes the right to an adequate standard of living, including adequate food, clothing, and housing, as well as the right to education and healthcare.

The Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) are a set of eight goals adopted by the United Nations in 2000. The MDGs related to poverty include eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, and promoting gender equality and empowering women. Ensuring environmental sustainability is not a poverty-related MDG.

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are a set of 17 goals adopted by the United Nations in 2015. The SDGs related to poverty include ending poverty in all its forms everywhere, reducing inequality within and among countries, and promoting sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth. Combating climate change and its impacts is not a key element of the poverty-related SDGs.

Creating new social welfare programs is not a way in which poverty can be reduced through human rights-based approaches. Human rights-based approaches focus on empowering individuals to claim their rights and holding governments accountable for their obligations. Social welfare programs are government policies that aim to reduce poverty, but they are not a part of human rights-based approaches.

Lack of awareness about human rights is not a challenge in implementing human rights-based approaches to poverty reduction. Lack of political will, insufficient resources, and resistance from vested interests are common challenges faced in implementing human rights-based approaches.

Voting for political candidates who support human rights is not a way in which human rights can be used to hold governments accountable for their obligations to reduce poverty. Filing lawsuits against governments, submitting complaints to human rights bodies, and organizing protests and demonstrations are all ways in which human rights can be used to hold governments accountable.

Improving access to education and healthcare is not a way in which poverty can be reduced through economic growth. Economic growth can lead to job creation, increased incomes, and reduced inequality, which can all contribute to poverty reduction. However, improving access to education and healthcare requires government investment and policies, and is not a direct result of economic growth.

Creating jobs is not a way in which poverty can be reduced through social protection programs. Social protection programs are designed to provide financial assistance and support to the poor and vulnerable. Creating jobs is a broader economic policy that aims to increase employment opportunities and reduce unemployment.

Creating jobs is not a way in which poverty can be reduced through empowerment of the poor. Empowerment of the poor involves providing them with the knowledge, skills, and resources they need to improve their own lives and livelihoods. Creating jobs is a broader economic policy that aims to increase employment opportunities and reduce unemployment.

Imposing sanctions on countries with poor human rights records is not a way in which poverty can be reduced through international cooperation. International cooperation to reduce poverty involves providing aid, promoting fair trade, and canceling debt. Imposing sanctions can have negative economic consequences and may not be effective in addressing poverty.
