Why is it incomplete to treat only economic poverty as the cause of discrimination against girls?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Because social norms and gender stereotypes also influence decisions

Economic poverty can create pressure to limit a girl’s education, nutrition, mobility, or opportunities, so it should not be ignored. However, discrimination is not produced by money alone. Social beliefs about what girls and boys should do, preference for sons, fear about safety, unequal household duties, and gender stereotypes may influence family decisions even when a family is not extremely poor.

Therefore, option A is correct because it recognizes the problem as having several connected causes. Option B wrongly denies the effect of poverty, while options C and D make absolute and false claims. A careful analysis studies both economic conditions and social attitudes instead of blaming only one factor. This broader understanding is important for policies that aim to promote girls’ education and equality.
