Question:

Which of the following is a source of insecurity?

Options:

Human Rights

Balance of power

Global Poverty

Alliance Building

Correct Answer:

Global Poverty

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 3 - Global Poverty

Out of the given options, 'Global poverty' is a source of insecurity.

Global poverty is another source of insecurity. World population—now at 760 crore— will grow to nearly 1000 crore by the middle of the 21st century. Currently, half the world’s population growth occurs in just six countries—India, China, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh and Indonesia. Among the world’s poorest countries, population is expected to triple in the next 50 years, whereas many rich countries will see population shrinkage in that period. High per capita income and low population growth make rich states or rich social groups get richer, whereas low incomes and high population growth reinforce each other to make poor states and poor groups get poorer.
