Poverty

provide people jobs

War affects poverty in many ways. To start off with war disrupts the production of food because it is not as easy to produce food when there is a war in the middle of your city/town. Secondly most of the male workers and farmers would be fighting in the war which results in less food production. Finally less food means the price rises and those in poverty can not afford the food. This also puts more people in poverty hope that helps :)

Poverty leads to criminal activities like robbery, thefts, Murder, kidnapping and looting. Now and then one can find headlines in the papers about their criminal activities. We often come across reports about whole family committing suicide by taking poison as they cannot afford a square meal. Even the parents do not hesitate to sell their children for just Rs. 1000. These are such a people who kill their small wards because they cannot provide them the minimum necessities of life. Woman you can be even seen selling their bodies or working as sex-workers. When people are unable to get their livelihood by honest means, they are bound to turn into criminals. Very often people find criminals living only in slums. Infact it is the property that has compelled them to take to social evils. The governments devise ways and means to raise their standard of living through science and technology. These poverty stuken criminals instead of being taken to jails and being prosecuted should be taken to rehabilitation centers where adequate care is taken of such criminals and certain skills are being taught to them such as stitching, driving, gardening, cooking, and cleaning etc. which can help them to earn a living and support their families.

The government should make annual visits to the unhygienic and extremely distressful slum areas and provide them money and proper care to help them uplift their depressing conditions. Often general people rebuke poor people and look at them with disdain, this should be prevented and the people should adopt a positive and helpful behaviour towards the poor and the destitute. These measures would also contribute in rooting out evils from the Indian society.

Because there is political interference in the established means of production bringing about a situation where goods are no longer being produced leading to unemployment, shortages, inflation, poverty.

Depression has the same effects on everyone, rich or poor.

This is called medicalization. Poverty is typically a social problem, and should be addressed as such.

They both claim certain territories in Kashmir that are currently held by the other country. It has partially to do with unsettled disputes from the time of the partitioning at the end of British...

more than 200000 people in Ghana are home less :o

There is a lot of poverty in the Philippines. Some people, called "squatters," live near trash mounds and scavenge through the rubble to find materials that they can re-sell. Many are living in extreme poverty and unsanitary conditions. One of the effects this impoverished lifestyle has on them is an extremely short life expectancy.

But there are some rays of hope. For one, slow but steady economic improvements are providing jobs in places like call centers. Secondly, charitable organizations like the Philippine Aid Society are growing and working hard to fight poverty. For those who want to do their part to help, consider a financial donation to one of these charities.

the different kinds of poverty are income poverty, non-income poverty, relative poverty and absolute poverty.

People should open their hearts and avoid greed. We must donate.

The best way to answer this is to note that there are different measurements of poverty and different levels of poverty. People who live in extreme poverty live on less than US$ 1 per day, while those living in moderate poverty live on less than US$ 2 per day.

Due to definition, China is a second world country because #1 it holds the communist form of government #2 it is an industrialized country. If you don't believe in Second World, you could technically call it a third world, but it is developing really fast now.

THE CAUSES OF POVERTY IN UGANDA:

· Half the population in Uganda don't have clean and safe drinking water.

· Uganda is one of the poorest countries in the world.

· Uganda suffers from poor health services as well as poor public services.

· Half of Uganda's population are under 15.

· Children eat only if they can afford it.

This is an important question. It may be YES and it may be NO. It is YES because every living creater has to enjoy in life and must be cater for especial the youth but due to poverty parent can not afford to provide their children's needs and due to this problem children engage in early sex.which will enable them to get money to cater for themselves. And it is NO because some children are provided with every needs but they are influence by their peers who introduce them to early sex.

becuase everyone deserves somewhere to live !

The main problem in our country nowadays is poverty. Many experts made a research on how to solve it. Most in the community of the Philippines are graving. But sad to say that until now it is still in the stage of calamity.

Poverty happens everywhere. They think citiesmay offer them a better-off living. They think they'll be much better off living in the cities than in their own villages, which only offer them natural resources. Being rich and having a great sum of money instantly are often the cause of massive exodus. What happens later is beyond their expectations; they become jobless, homeless, and the worse impact is that they are unable to return to their villages for they don't even have money to return.

Most poor people who battle hunger deal with chronic undernourishment and vitamin or mineral deficiencies, which result in stunted growth, weakness and heightened susceptibility to illness. Poor children are the most prone to this and are often the victims to malnutrition, deficiencies, diseases and ultimately deaths caused by hunger.

The persons who are in the position must have enough knowledge about the solutions on the problem. They should make a step by step process to ensure the proper on the global major problem.

Yes. It plays a significant role. Most Terrorist Factions pick up uneducated children and youth from poverty stricken communities in their localities/country and train them as terrorists.

It's citizens are brainwashed but oppressed. Sad little country indeed. The population below the poverty line is at least 90%.

yes, because the governments got tons of money, but they only offer good jobs to rich people, and they are too greedy to donate money or build shelters, so that is why you always see commercials and ads about how they want you to donate money. The government instead of donating to the poor, they are using all their money on some random wars against communists and terrorists, even though they are NOT a threat to america. Just for fun, you should watch, "Santa hates poor kids" on youtube; it is a song about rich kids getting everything o.O

Maybe it's better to start by asking why people don't live in poverty. Your question starts out from the perspective that people aren't "supposed" to live in poverty.

So, first of all, humanity has developed products and services to make life easier and more comfortable than just living in the wilderness: tasty foods and recipes, medical knowledge and care, housing that keeps the temperature comfortable and keeps us from the elements, education and entertainment for our minds, cell phones and mail and the internet and infrastructure for them to work so we can communicate with people, distribution systems to get these great things to people who can afford them. So there's lots of great stuff that we get to enjoy if we're not living in poverty.

Second of all, people can afford to pay for this stuff. They create something (crops, interesting essays, music, business strategy ideas) and sell it, or they do work for someone else who's willing to pay them because they help them do this. Or maybe they got really lucky and made a good investment, like owning land that turned out to be valuable because of mineral riches, or buying the winning lottery ticket. Or they took wealth from someone else by force. Or maybe they didn't do any of these things, but their ancestor did and bequeathed the money to them, or someone has convinced a government or a charity to support them.

So, people who live in poverty simply lack the resources or the opportunity to get all this great stuff from society. They don't have or do anything someone is willing to pay them for (or they do but haven't figured out how to turn that into money) and they haven't managed to convince governments to give them things. Maybe if they could manage to get educated, or win a visa lottery to move to a country where they could make more money from skills they do have, they'd be less poor. Another kind of wealth is the environment: people who are poor can't turn the environment into wealth very well either, perhaps because it's polluted or because the fish stocks have been depleted, or perhaps because their local environment never had wealth that was easy to extract.

You'll notice that I haven't said much about exploitation, corruption, wars, racism, justice, or anything like that. Well, these things are all important, but in the end they're just means to the ends I described above. If you think that there's some natural law in history that says we ought to be moving in the direction where people get wealthier and poverty rates would go down, then your answer would focus on the factors that have impeded this movement. However, if you think that some parts of the world support subsistence living but people there don't have much to offer that the rest of the world would want to trade for, then you'll need to be convinced why they should be wealthy, not why they remain poor.

Here's a good article by Robert Lucas, a Nobel-prize winning economist, who takes the first view, that history is pushing everyone toward greater wealth: http://www.minneapolisfed.org/publications_papers/pub_display.cfm?id=3333

Not every region has the economic resources needed to deal with their own local poverty. Decentralization therefore makes it harder to reduce poverty on a national level.
