Poverty


I think poverty shouldn't exist in the world. It can be solve by share resources to poverty countries. We've learned that extreme poverty is still existing around the world. The world bank is a bank that helps redevelopment of the poverty countries. The world bank states that it's important to collect data from 73 countries you can see the different effects from those various different countries. Also you can compare those different countries to the others to see their development levels. Poverty is having unsatisfied material needs. The difference between extreme poverty and poverty is that extreme poverty is not only having unsatisfied basic needs but also having barely enough to go through bare survival. A poverty trap is where there are endless cycle where you never escape a life of hard work and have nothing to show for, but no survival. The world bank defines poverty as not having enough income to meet the most basic human needs and standards. Also for adequate food, water, land, shelter, clothing, sanitation, health care, and/or education. 1.4 billion people live under the poverty line in the world. it used to be 4 out of 10 people, but now it is 1 out of 4 people.Unicef.
