Question

Increase in Defence Expenditure causes poverty. Explain.

✓

Answer

High defence expenditure is non-developmental. When a country spends a large portion of its budget on weapons and military maintenance due to security concerns, it reduces the funds available for social welfare schemes, education, and health. This lack of investment in human capital and infrastructure leads to lower growth and persistence of poverty.
