Poverty, consequences and how to eradicate it
INTRODUCTION
It is unfortunate that millions of people around the world go to bed hungry, it is
unfortunate that many people especially children suffer from malnutrition, and it is absolutely
unfortunate and sad that in The 21st century we are still dealing with this problem, all because of
poverty. Many studies have shown that the world produces two times or even more, enough food
to feed every single living being on this planet, but still millions of people live below the poverty
line. I absolutely believe that the only way we can eradicate poverty is through better leadership
and most importantly education.
QUESTION AND ANSWER
Poverty is present in every society and concern everyone, and everybody can talk about it
because it one of the biggest problem the world face today. Poverty robs human beings of their
most basic rights. It keeps people hungry; it deprives them of medical care, clean water, an
education, the opportunity to work, and often results in a sense of powerlessness, hopelessness,
and inequality.
What are the consequences of poverty?
There are so many consequences due by the poverty. Among which, the increase of the death rate
due by the famine, the malnutrition, the rate of crime increase, the gap between rich and power
stay increased, high percentage of illiteracy, the prostitution, use of drugs by young people etc.

What can be done to increase economic security for Americas children and families?
Poverty is closely linked to the labor market in the United States: it is concentrated
among groups that have been, and often still are, the victims of discriminatory practices in hiring
and pay. Furthermore, economic policies that create or continue a segmented labor market one
having high and low wage sectors typically result in the concentration of African Americans,
Hispanics, and, to a still significant extent, women, in low-wage, service-sector jobs and in temp
work. The low wages of these sectors of the job market produce poverty.
How to eradicate that poverty?
To eradicate poverty it is important to be organized and united to face that global problem;
improving access to sustainable livelihoods, entrepreneurial opportunities and productive
resources, providing universal access to basic social services, progressively developing social
protection systems to support those who cannot support themselves, empowering people living in
poverty and their organizations, addressing the disproportionate impact of poverty on women,
working with interested donors and recipients, and intensifying international cooperation for
poverty eradication.
