Scheliz (2005) suggest a list of causes of poverty.

low growth elasticity of poverty reduction; (3) weakness in
employment generation and the quality of jobs generated; (4)
failure to fully develop the agriculture sector; (5) high inflation
during crisis periods; (6) high levels of population growth; and
(7) high and persistent levels of inequality (income and assets),

The number in reference is placed in superscript after
the period in the sentence.
Guidelines in Reference Citations
• Place the reference list on a new page separate from the text of your
writing; label this page “References” and align it at the center at the
top of the opage. Do not use bold face, underline, or quotation marks
for the title.
• Apply hanging indentation . This simply means the lines following the
first line in an entry should be indented from the left margin.
• All text should be double-spaced just like the rest of the paper.
• Follow this sequence in writing the names of the author: Last Name, First name
Initial
• Arrange the references in alphabetical order based on the last names of the
authors.
• Do not cut or add to the titles.
• Capitalize only the first letter of the first word of a title, the first letter of the first
word of its subtitle after a colon, and the proper nouns.
• Italicize the titles. When the article title is used, italicize only the journal title.
• For online sources, make sure to remove the hyperlink of the URL.
• For print sources, place a period at the end of the entry.
• Put “n.d.” (no date) for sources with no date.
