Detailed Solution

The social groups most vulnerable to poverty are the scheduled caste households and the scheduled tribe households. Both groups have above-average levels of poverty indicators in the rural and urban populations. In India, the scheduled castes and scheduled tribes are the social groups that are highly vulnerable to poverty. Scheduled Castes (SC), Women, Scheduled Tribes (ST), Children, the Elderly, and the Disabled are among the groups who face injustice. Because of their multiple identities, each type of group may face multiple barriers. For example, in a patriarchal society, Scheduled Caste women face double discrimination as women and members of a scheduled caste.
