All of the above factors can contribute to high poverty levels in much of South Asia. High populations and low economic development can result in limited job opportunities, low wages, and inadequate access to basic services. Lack of natural and human resources can also limit the region's ability to generate income and improve living standards. Ethnic tensions and civil war can disrupt economic activities and lead to displacement and poverty. Additionally, outsourcing to other countries can contribute to the concentration of wealth in certain sectors and regions, leaving many people in poverty.
