WORLD POVERTY

In this era of globalisation,there's a lot of problem that always had in all of the countries in the world which is poverty in the community.UNICEF stated that "21,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes, according to the United Nations. This is one person every four seconds, as you can see on this display. Sadly, it is children who die most often".Its a big problems to all of us and this problem need to be solved as soon as possible otherwise it will make complicated.
Next,we had found the latest percentage of people in the world at different levels from 2005



More than 80 percent of the world population lives in countries where income  diffrentials are widing.There are effective programs to break this spiral. For adults, there are “food for work” programs where the adults are paid with food to build schools, dig wells, make roads, and so on. This both nourishes them and builds infrastructure to end the poverty. For children, there are “food for education” programs where the children are provided with food when they attend school. Their education will help them to escape from hunger and global poverty.As a human,we need to more concern about this problems and give a donation like money and clothes to show our attention.Here are some picture we found in the internet at Manila.Philipines 
Rises in the costs of living making poor people less able to afford items. Poor people spend a greater portion of their budgets on food than richer people. As a result, poor households and those near the poverty threshold can be particularly vulnerable to increases in food prices.The World Bank warned that 100 million people were at risk of sinking deeper into poverty and its at the warning state to the people around the world.

Next,the world poverty problems right now is housing.many people at the Bangladesh live in poor condition and some of their people did not have house.As a prove here a picture to show their daily life with no house.

Such a sad moment when we see this picture.The children in our country live in good condition while at Bangladesh, their kids are very poor and live an unhealthy lifestyle because they cannot find any food to eat.


In the developing world, there is a pattern of inequality caused by the powerful subjugating the poor and keeping them dependent. Outside influence is often a large factor and access to trade and resources is the usual cause. It is often asked why the people of these countries do not stand up for themselves. In most cases when they do, they face incredible and often violent oppression from their ruling elites and from outsiders who see their national interests threatened.


Consider the following words from the United Nations:

Lastly,the steps to control the poverty in the world is 
  • Controlling overpopulation

Some argue that overpopulation and lack of access to birth control leads to population increase to exceed food production and other resource.Better education for both men and women, and more control of their lives, reduces population growth due to family planning.
  • Increasing personal income

The following are strategies used or proposed to increase personal incomes among the poor. Raising farm incomes is described as the core of the antipoverty effort as three quarters of the poor today are farmersEstimates show that growth in the agricultural productivity of small farmers is, on average, at least twice as effective in benefiting the poorest half of a country’s population as growth generated in nonagricultural sectors.

  • Increasing the supply of basic needs

Food and other goods

Agricultural technologies such as nitrogen fertilizers, pesticides and new irrigation methods have dramatically reduced food shortages in modern times by boosting yields past previous constraints. Before the Industrial Revolution, poverty had been mostly accepted as inevitable as economies produced little, making wealth scarce.Geoffrey Parker wrote that "In Antwerp and Lyon, two of the largest cities in western Europe, by 1600 three-quarters of the total population were too poor to pay taxes, and therefore likely to need relief in times of crisisThe initial industrial revolution led to high economic growth and eliminated mass absolute poverty in what is now considered the developed worldMass production of goods in places such as rapidly industrializing China has made what were once considered luxuries, such as vehicles and computers, inexpensive and thus accessible to many who were otherwise too poor to afford them.Even with new products, such as better seeds, or greater volumes of them, such as industrial production, the poor still require access to these products. Improving road and transportation infrastructure helps solve this major bottleneck. In Africa, it costs more to move fertilizer from an African seaport 60 miles inland than to ship it from the United States to Africa because of sparse, low quality roads, leading to fertilizer costs two to six times the world average.Microfranchising models such as door to door businesses are used to sell basic needs to remote areas for below market prices

  • Education
Research has found that there is a high risk of educational underachievement for children who are from low-income housing circumstances. This is often a process that begins in primary school for some less fortunate children. Instruction in the US educational system, as well as in most other countries, tends to be geared towards those students who come from more advantaged backgrounds. As a result, children in poverty are at a higher risk than advantaged children for retention in their grade, special deleterious placements during the school's hours and even not completing their high school education.

As a conclusion,world poverty can be solved properly if the government is clever on brings their countrie in good condition to their society.
