What is another word for Pauperizing?

Pronunciation: [pˈɔːpəɹˌa͡ɪzɪŋ] (IPA)

Pauperizing is a term that refers to the act of reducing someone to poverty. There are several synonyms for this word, such as impoverishing, bankrupting, beggaring, and reducing to destitution. These words all describe the process of taking away someone's wealth or resources, leaving them with little or nothing. When people are pauperized, they often have no means of supporting themselves or their families, and may be forced to rely on charity or government assistance. This can have a devastating impact on their lives, leading to a loss of dignity and self-respect. Therefore, it is crucial to be aware of the effects of pauperizing and to work towards reducing poverty and inequality in society.
