Poverty

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.

According to the CIA World Factbook (as of 10/29/10) the information is not available. The CIA is tops in this type of data, so North Korea must not be releasing such information.

-Relative poverty is the difference of perceived wealth vis-à-vis others in the same society.

-The perception of how poor a group is or seems to be.

poverty means human that escape from each other

Poverty reinforces disability because when you live in poverty you are exposed to drugs and other bad things you may also be hit by a land mind that can cause a disabiltiy. A diability can also led to poverty because when you have a disabilty you might get abused at home or get called a curse so u might think the better choice is to live on the streets and then you most likely will get into the harsh poverty cycle

( this mostly takes place in Africa , Uganda & south Africa )

The poverty cycle is a cycle that shows the different factors of poverty.

Born into poverty- health problems- lack of education- lack of job-(that is the poverty cycle but it keeps on repeating

Definitely. people who are poor or uneducated and have no Jobs, are often the ones who Increases the Population. thus, it results to Population explosion. they have no Jobs but they have Temporary jobs. that's why when they're tired, they come back home to "refresh" of get energized by having sex.

Poverty has always been with us. Think of the countries where floods, fire, tsunamis and earthquakes occur. Even in a wealthier society, if poverty is measured as having only 25% of the money which a labourer could earn, there would be some who were below the poverty line. Poverty will never disappear.

Prime Minister Jhala Nath Khanal has hailed the private sector's help and social responsibility for strengthening the economy along with the mobilization of investors and initiative for increasing the network of professionals in the country.

Inaugurating the 45th annual general meeting of the Federation of Nepalese Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FNCCI) in the capital on Monday, Khanal said utilization of the locally available resources has contributed in economic and social development of the country through the entrepreneurship and institutional services catered by the private sector.

The PM said that the government is confidence that investment flow, employment generation and revenue collection will increase if the private sector was promoted and assured confidence, adding that the government was committed to promote, conserve and facilitate the private sector.

Saying no country can go ahead sans industrial development, the PM said political wrangling in the country has also hindered the economic development of the country.

"The country should move toward the direction of economic revolution and industrial peace should be maintained to achieve the economic revolution", said the PM. Frequent series of strikes in the industrial estates have hindered the process of establishing industrial peace, said PM Khanal.

He said rule of law and assurance of security; transparency and guaranteeing liberalism are the top priorities of the government for the investment friendly environment in the country.

Because years ago, women didn't play a big role in society. They were always in the kitchen and doing chores. Men were known to come home with money for the family so women today are underestimated and people do not really know what women can do. P.S. i'm a guy :0 tee hee

In Haiti, 90% of the population live in poverty.

Regardless of all the good & sincere efforts that have been done & are being done to solve this problem, they are all doomed to fail - and things will only get worse - if the World doesn't quickly take serious control of its over-population problem...

there is no real solution, the only thing that we as humans can do is to control the population by teaching birth control and educate the masses , ignorance and want are the scourges of this planet.
