POVERTY OF THE WORLD
![Page 18: 10th Grade Global Justice Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555d73a6d8b42a0b778b5412/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
WHAT IS POVERTY?
Being poor or lacking money or means of survival (Barker 1995)
No access health, education and other services Hunger, disease, illiteracy, joblessness, exclusion
and social discrimination Lack access to safe drinking water and food,
sanitation and shelter, education, health care International Poverty Line
- Income level- World bank- $1 per person
![Page 19: 10th Grade Global Justice Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555d73a6d8b42a0b778b5412/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
UNEQUAL DISTRIBUTION OF WEALTH
• The income of richest 10% in the world equals to the income of the bottom 90%.
• The rich are mostly concentrated on the US, Europe and Japan.
• The richest 1% own 40% of the world’s wealth

THE CAUSE OF POVERTY… Trade
unfair trade agreements, lack of technology and investment
Work and globalization: lacks communications and transport, factors that
leads to a “globalized” economy Education
people who live in poverty cannot afford to send their children to school, when they don’t know how to read and write they are disadvantaged.
War or conflict basic services like education are disrupted. People
become refugees. Crops are destroyed.

RICH VS. POOR
RICH PEOPLE POOR PEOPLE Benefit from economic
or political policies Wealthy, financial
bailouts, and more open to the public
Poverty has always been presented
The gap between rich and poor is quite high and often widening
Less access to health, education, and other service
Hunger, starvation, and disease bother the poorest in society
Have little representation or voice in public and political debates
Hard to escape poverty
![Page 23: 10th Grade Global Justice Project](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062418/555d73a6d8b42a0b778b5412/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
WHY DOES IT MATTER?
Rich-poor gap Over 3 billion people —less than
$2.50 a day. Nearly a billion people entered the
21st century unable to read a book or sign their names.
1 billion children live in poverty (1 in 2 children in the world).
25,000 people die every day of hunger or hunger-related causes (one person every three and a half seconds)
