Question: why is there poverty?

Joanna Cruden answered on 19 Jun 2012:

It is hard to say because there are so many reasons; people are greedy and take from those who are not so able to defend themselves.

High levels of unemployment, not enough money to go round. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer, in developing countries poverty is far more widespread and it is difficult for me to comment on economics and poverty because I feel I am not qualified to answer.

It is a tough world out there and for some people they cannot escape poverty, this is why it is important that you do well in your exams and always do you best and give to charity’s which help people in poverty. One person’s version of poverty may also be different from anthers.
