POVERTY PRESENTED BY: KONGLAR MALLECK KODABACCUS AUCKBURALLY
BENITA RIDHWAN M. NAJIIB THANAULLAH
DEFINITION OF POVERTY: Poverty is the lack of basic necessities that all human beings must have. Example are; food and water, shelter, education, medical care, security. Poverty exceeds all social, economic, and political boundaries. As such,
efforts to alleviate poverty must be informed of a variety of different factors.
TYPES OF POVERTY: Three types of poverty which are: Absolute poverty, Relative poverty , Subjective poverty.
CAUSES OF POVERTY: POLITICS
Leaders like Adolf Hitler & Saddam Hussain have greatly contribute to the growth of poverty. They misuse the resources and power.
CAUSES OF POVERTY:
People in Somalia
CAUSES OF POVERTY: SOCIAL & NATURAL CAUSES
Social & natural are the results of the birth & growth of poverty.
CAUSES OF POVERTY: NATURAL CALAMITIES
Examples are:- Floods, Cyclones, Earthquakes, Diseases.
CAUSES OF POVERTY: UNEMPLOYMENT o
Economically speaking certain countries have a very weak agricultural system and they lack technology.
CAUSES OF THIRD WORLD POVERTY: TRADE o
Third world countries lose out through unfair trade agreements, lack of technology and investment, and rapidly changing prices for their goods.
WORK AND GLOBALISATION o
Better communications and transport have led to a “globalised” economy. Companies look for low-cost countries to invest in. This can mean that, though there are jobs, they are low-paid.
CAUSES OF THIRD WORLD POVERTY: WAR OR CONFLICT o When a country is at war (including civil war) basic services like education are disrupted. People leave their homes as refugees. Crops are destroyed.
DEBT o Third world countries have to pay interest on their debts. This means they cannot afford to spend enough on basic services like health and education; nor on things like transport or communications that might attract investment.
LAND o If you have land you can grow your own food. But many people in the Third World have had their land taken over by large businesses, often to grow crops for export.
CAUSES OF THIRD WORLD POVERTY: HEALTH o Affordable or free health care is necessary for development. In poor countries the percentage of children who die under the age of five is much higher than in rich countries. HIV/AIDS is having a devastating effect on the Third World.
FOOD AND EDUCATION o Affordable, secure food supplies are vital. Malnutrition causes severe health problems, and can also affect education. Without education it is difficult to escape from poverty. This becomes a vicious circle – people who live in poverty cannot afford to send their children to school.
CAUSES OF THIRD WORLD POVERTY: ENVIRONMENT o A child born in an industrialised country will add more to pollution over his or her lifetime than 30-50 children born in the Third World. However, the third world child is likely to experience the consequences of pollution in a much more devastating way. For example, annual carbon dioxide emissions have quadrupled in the last 50 years. This contributes to global warming, leading to devastating changes in weather patterns. Bangladesh could lose up to 17% of its land area as water levels rise.
CONSEQUENCES: Lack of food and deprivation of any
basic need.(Example Kwashiorkor) Children suffering from diseases called KWASHIORKO R.
High Rate of divorce, Lack of social activities, Movement of people from rural to urban.
4.4 billion people live in developing countries.
Of these …
Three-fifths lack basic sanitation
Almost one third have no access to clean water
A quarter do not have adequate housing
A fifth have no access to modern health services
WHY
... In 1997 the richest fifth of the world’s population had
74 times the income of the poorest fifth. ..The top three billionaires have assets greater than
the combined GNP of all least developed countries and their 600 million people.
SOLUTIONS: Choose proper leaders, Good economic planning, Education must be access by every one, Welfare states.
Everyone has the right to a standard of living
adequate for the health and well-being of him/(her)self and his/(her) family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services... Everyone has the right to education. Universal Declaration of Human Rights
WHAT CAN WE DO TO HELP THIS RULE HAPPEN?
“The amount of money the UK spends On chocolate each year could make Africa NOT live in poverty”
CONCLUSION To sum up poverty can not be completely eradicated.
However the government together with responsible authorities must try their best to keep the situation under control because it will become worst if forgotten. Consequently, along with the solutions stated every year the annual budget, their must be regular measure to deal with these cases. Thus, giving a plus to safe humanity from destruction.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR KIND ATTENTION.
