Detailed Solution

Urban casual labour and rural agricultural labour are vulnerable to poverty because they do not possess the land and any property, they only get seasonal work, and they are poorly paid. Rural agricultural workers and households with casual employment are the economic groups most susceptible to poverty. Because the rural agricultural labourers do not own any land, they cannot make enough money to cover their necessities, resulting in poverty. Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe households are the social categories most susceptible to poverty. Due to the current caste structure, the scheduled castes cannot utilise the services provided to others, which causes them to live in poverty.
