Poverty

Poverty is the state or state of financial resources and daily necessities that lack the lowest standard of living for people and society.

Poverty in the United States is allocated to people who do not meet certain standards set by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). The poverty rate in the United States (the proportion of the poor in the United States) is estimated by the Census Bureau of the United States, excluding institutionalized people, people living in military areas, people living in university dormitories, and people under 15 years of age It is calculated. Poverty is a rank of important statistics for global investors, as the high poverty rate often shows more problems in one country. In the 2016 census, more than 40 million people in the United States live below the poverty line. If the household's pre-tax income (other than cash benefits) falls below that poverty line, that family is considered a poor household. For example, for two adults and two children, the threshold is about $ 24,000. Singles over 65 years old, about $ 11,000

Since the Industrial Revolution, the poverty rate of developed countries has declined. Increasing the production amount will lower the cost of the product and make the product cheaper. Advances in agriculture increased crop yield, which increased food production. Since the mid-1990s, 95% of the world's poor are concentrated in East Asia, South Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa.

The United Nations and the World Bank are major supporters to reduce the world's poverty. The World Bank has an ambitious goal of eradicating poverty by 2030. In order to achieve this goal, communities need to cooperate to implement strategies to improve the living environment of the poor in the world. Establishment of wells to supply clean drinking water, farmers' education on how to produce more food, construction of evacuation centers for poor people, construction of schools, education of disadvantaged communities, and better medical care Provision of services

Access to good schools, medical, electricity, safe water and other important services is still obscure for many people and depends on socio-economic status, gender, ethnicity, geographical location Often there are things. Economic shock, food insecurity, and climate change may force their interests and poverty: For those who can get rid of poverty, progress is often temporary. This is because poverty is a cycle that is often difficult to collapse from one generation to the next. Typical impacts of poverty include abuse of alcohol and drugs, reduced access to education, deteriorating housing and living conditions, and rising disease levels. As inequality increases, the increase in poverty can lead to an increase in social tension. These problems often lead to an increase in the crime rate of communities affected by poverty.

• Specific anti-poverty measures will affect the elasticity of poverty. It increases (a) the weight of poverty control given to the poorest people, and (b) the decline of the poverty line. For example, the poverty gap index is often higher than the poverty index. For evidence of Côte d'Ivoire, see Kakwani (1993). • The resilience of poverty has a spatial aspect, which can be different in the country. In sub-Saharan Africa, rural poverty is more susceptible to growth than urban poverty, urban poverty is more susceptible to changes with income distribution (Ali and Thorbecke, 2000). In Tanzania, poverty in rural areas is about four times more resilient than urban areas.

Discussions on poverty in the United States often mistakenly focus on urban areas. Poverty in urban areas is a unique issue, but the poverty rate in rural areas is consistently higher than in urban areas. Indeed, throughout the 1950s and 1960s, rural poverty levels were often twice those in urban areas. The relationship between work and poverty is different from past. In the early 1980s, the employment rate of rural poor people exceeded 15% in urban areas. Since then, more and more poor people in rural areas are unemployed - this trend is consistent with the other models below

Rural poverty is poverty seen in rural areas such as rural society, rural economy and rural political system leading to poverty. Rural poverty is often discussed in relation to spatial inequality, in which context spatial inequality refers to inequality between urban and rural areas. Poverty in rural areas and inequality in space are global phenomena, but the rural poverty rate of developing countries is higher than that of developed countries as well as general poverty. The eradication of rural poverty through effective policy and economic growth remains a challenge for the international community.
