Alleviation Of Poverty In Developing Countries

In her article, The Uses of Global Poverty: How Economic Inequality Benefits the West, Daina Stukuls Eglitis states the ways in which western societies have benefited from economic inequality with the poorer nations of the world. To better understand our position, she gives several examples that should help to increase our awareness of the role we play in supporting this economic inequality, and outlines for us how western nations use global poverty to their advantage. She states the specific causes and conditions that lead to the existence of poverty while at the same time supporting and ensuring our culture and quality of life.

This lack of prevention stems from poor education often received in those areas and the culture that often permeates within them (Williams/Torrens). Widely accepted is the concept that people with higher incomes generally enjoy better health and live longer than people with lower incomes.

Poverty is the state of living without the basic necessities of life - for example, money or a reliable supply of food. People living in poverty might be lacking a steady income, the ability to feed their families, or access to education and healthcare. In 2015, there were 43.1 million people living in poverty in the USA.

Poverty is “the state or condition of having little or no money, goods, or means of support; condition of being poor” (Dictionary.com, 2017). Based off this definition poverty is a condition that can cause a cascade of cause and effect actions that is detrimental to families and individuals both physically and mentally. Haan, Kaplan, & Camacho (2017) completed a study on the correlation between social and economic status and health in adults in Oakland, CA. They found that the lower the socioeconomic class the higher incidents of diseases and deaths related to chronic diseases (p.1161-1162). Just being without money or little money was not the only indication of health indication, a person living in an area with higher poverty issues

Poverty has been a long-lasting economic crisis in the world. The effects are drastic not only on the world’s economic stability but the stability and well-being of many people as well. Change is needed. True change is the hope many citizens have living in poverty due to a broken, damaged system regarding poverty.

In our world, poverty is one of the main and well known social justice issue. Poverty is the state of one who lacks shelter, education, money, food, clothing, health or other materials. I think there are 4 very important effects of poverty that affects a country, which are malnourishment, education, society and economy. Firstly, malnourishment is the most common effect of poverty. Malnourishment is a condition that results from consuming too much or not enough nutrients, which creates major health problems. Poor families rarely have access to foods with many nutrients. Healthy foods are expensive; therefore, families with a small budget buy less food and consume less nutrients because they’re cheaper. Nations with too many malnourished people

Poverty is widespread throughout the world, with around 20% of the entire population living on less than $1.25 per day. Everyday struggles for survival may include not having enough food for nourishment, no access to clean water, no proper shelter, lack of clothes, or no doctors and medicines. This lack of essential supplies and inability to improve one 's life may be caused by a country 's lack of resources. These countries either do not or cannot provide water, electricity, houses, or jobs to its citizens. The first Millennium Development Goal of the United Nations is to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. Their job is to: a) halve the number of people living under the $1.25 per day line, b) provide employment for all, and c) halve the amount of people who are hungry. Past actions have included connecting countries to the resources they need to improve economic and social state, providing farmers without land pait work to fund a long-term job, and campaigns for medical assistance and outreach. The World Food Program bring humanitarian aid in the form of food to over 75 countries, both after disasters and emergencies, but also helps to prevent hunger in the future to countries in poverty. These have helped reduce poverty, however The Global Poverty Project has been working toward eliminating extreme poverty by 2030. They have been working to changing international policies, running awareness campaigns, and creating global

Latin America and the Caribbean countries have risen against the challenge of Poverty Reduction, and shown commendable progress with 8.5% of the population rising to the middle class level in the last decade, but 42.12% still live in the dreads of poverty. IDB via its Division of Social Protection and Health works with people who live below the poverty line or are shunned by society and aims to provide them with opportunities of education and labour. IDB-financed programs help in reducing racial and ethnic inequalities on many fronts. Poverty Reduction requires achieving and sustaining strong levels of economic growth, but that growth will be considered invalid if it does not spread out to all the sections of society. The Bank aims at improving lives of people by increasing nutrition, educational possibilities, fostering social inclusion and maintaining a long lasting and just social

Poverty is a very big issue in Africa, North of South America and Asia. This is because these countries in these continents are less economically developed (LEDC). Due to this the people are more vulnerable to catching diseases and dying. Africa has the highest amount of poverty leading to 91% of death to be cause by malaria. The reason for these deaths is because the government is finding it difficult to come up with the money to buy the correct medicine. Countries around the Sub Saharan region spend 40% of its health budget on Malaria. The area of that has the highest amount of death due to malaria and poverty is the Middle East with 38,000 annually, closely followed by Asia with 36,000.

“Proponents and analysts of SD [sustainable development] need to clearly reject the attempts to focus on economic growth as a means to poverty removal and/or environmental sustainability” (Lele 1991: 618). Do you agree with this statement? Explain your position.

America, Home of the brave, Home of the free, Home of the poor. A overwhelming amount of Americans in our own country struggle under the poverty line everyday. They struggle for food, water, and a place to rest their heads at night, and they struggle for those for their kids all the while. A person is in a state of poverty when they cannot afford the necessities of life. Poverty is something government needs to deal with more because it carries a double cost to them and the tax payers, the poor people take their needed services, but they are unable to pay back their debt, sometimes they never are. Poverty also leads to a lower economic output, lower education, and lower productivity. Things such as Income and wealth

Liberalization is a term that has dominated the minds, and governments of Latin America from the advent of the region-encompassing debt-crisis of the 1980s. Many reforms, with the idea of opening up the market and reducing barriers to trade in order to increase growth, control inflation, and reduce social unrest, have taken hold in the region in notable countries such as Mexico. In, “Programs on Poverty and Inequality: Chile, Mexico, and Peru,” John Sheahan explores the reasons as to why liberalization programs have seemingly worked in some countries, and have had lackluster effects in others. Chile, for example, is often cited as the shining beacon of economic example in Latin America, and is also grouped in with the East Asian economies that developed to the level of Western Europe from the 1980s onwards. Conversely, Mexico has had disappointing growth that has never recovered to pre-1980s levels, along with social unrest and failures in governance. This paper will explore the questions: Why does poverty persist so much in some countries in the region e.g. Mexico, and Peru to a lesser extent, and why does it seem effectively controlled in other parts, such as in Chile? Sheahan argues that direct social programs are increasing in popularity as effective forms of controlling the negative effects of liberalization reforms, but that they

Social inequality is a global concern impacting not only the poorest nations, but also the most economically advanced nations in the world. More alarming is the amount of separation between the worlds’ wealthiest and the worlds’ poorest inhabitants, with the gap widening year after year. It is estimated that between 17,000 and 22,000 children die each day due to poverty, and more than 1 billion people lack access to clean drinking water. Governments have implemented policies to help bridge the gap of social inequalities between the different races and classes in an attempt to even the playing field, politics and capitalism however have countered and, in some instances, nullified the effectiveness of those policies. Research suggests that addressing education as the root cause of social inequality, in lieu of ineffective policies that only benefit the affluent and social elite, is essential in combating poverty levels, life expectancy, quality of life and overall social well-being.

The disasters cause poverty because these countries are often weak financially and cannot afford to restore their country after extensive damage. Therefore due to lack of resources the situation gets worse. It affects their inhabitant's lives causing a lack of production leading to being unable to provide for citizens. In turn leading to poverty, as they cannot even provide substances to trade and lose money. Other factors that affect the lives of citizens are lack of clean water and standard education.
