It can lead to other problems like poor literacy, unemployment,  malnutrition, etc.  A poor person is not able to get an education due to a lack of money and therefore remains unemployed.  An unemployed person is not able to buy enough & nutritious food for his family and their health decline.

Where are they rushing? Some little bodied soul Rising before the sun Are they going for some religious duty? Or enjoy Nature's beauty? Have all the schools disappeared?
