Poverty By Kian Salamzadeh
No food… No home… No basic needs… No education…
Health… • About 50, 000 people die each day due to the lack of food or cannot be treated for disease • This equals up to an amount of 27 million, most being women or children as of 1990 -More than 11 million children die before they reach the age of five years
Education… Many children around the world do not have proper education Reasons: • juvenile delinquencies • child pregnancy • low income • parental influence • fall ill easily; cannot afford health care= miss days off school. • forced to move around a lot • no schools available • many kids help to support their families by working instead of attending school
Solutions - Create more jobs, and increase government subsidies for low income families - Help children learn skills that will help them earn a living and make right choices in the long run - Make social services that help children and families survive crises, such as disease, drug abuse, or loss of home and shelter • Control family fertility so that poor families are not burdened by children • Increase world awareness so that more donations and charities will be directed to those in need
Reasons for choice • Many people around the world suffer from poverty unwillingly • It is a serious and deadly issue • It includes many aspects/issues • Almost all other issues provided for choosing fit into the category of ‘poverty’ • Poverty is the root of many global crises
