 Every country has poor people. Every country has different ways of dealing with the poor. What are some of the reasons for world poverty? What can we do to help the poor?

Undeniably, impoverishment is a burning issue,  and every country embraces different methods to alleviate this social malady. In this essay, I will assess the main reasons behind this, and suggest some ways surmont this challenge.

To commence with, the primary reason behind destitution lies in history. The indiscriminate milking of resources of poverty-stricken countries by the imperialistic powers has caused a perennial dearth of wealth of all kinds, making it hard for the regimes to generate resources and avenues for development. Besides this, the things are exacerbated by corruption because higher authorities are the ruling parties who tend to abuse their powers and siphon off public money, leaving the poor high and dry and perpetuating the vicious circle of the poor economic conditions.   In addition to the above, another reason is the tremendous growth in population, forcing governments to divert invaluable money from critical areas to serving the rising populace, creating an absence of facilities like education and employment venues, causing illiteracy and joblessness, and keeping the people impoverished.  

However, the above problems can be mitigated, if the government becomes more transparent with the issues and works upon the required areas. Such as, by establishing educational infrastructure and employment venues, to eliminate illiteracy and create employment. This will help generate employable skills and also absorb those, resulting in better incomes. Moreover, developed countries should come forward and provide aid to the poor nations by investing in the various critical sectors, to alleviate the living conditions of the inhabitants of such countries.   

To conclude, destitution is a pressing problem that has inflicted misery on a  major part of society. It is thus imperative for governments and the international community to invest concerted efforts to mitigate this pressing issue.
