Abstract

This is a review paper and we briefly discussed poverty and addiction, in terms of their definition, triggers, and close relationship between each other. We have searched through materials and articles on the Internet, especially research papers, for a series of collations and a listing of the main ideas. Besides this, we also added our own judgments and statements of opinion. The present study firstly gives some professional definitions and the main causes of each keyword. And then laid out some statements and evidence given by systematic and credible experiments to ensure poverty and addiction have strong connections. The main research question is: How can poverty be a major factor leading to addiction? The present study summarized some significant factors specifically. Several authors have explored the causes of poverty and addiction and the close relationship between them. It is generally believed that poverty has several indirect factors leading to addictive behaviors, leading to different degrees of addictive behaviors. In this paper, a summary review of the existing literature is conducted to explore the main reason why poverty is the main factor leading to addiction, and through the analysis of completed systematic, credible completed experiments, some new ideas and evidence are obtained to prove the close relationship between poverty and addiction. We also propose solutions to some of the existing problems.
