Poverty
Summary
A problem that the world presently faces is poverty. Poverty is when an individual lacks the financial resources and essentials for a certain standard of living. There are multiple solutions that people can use to help poverty become less of a problem. One way is increasing access to education. Education creates skills and abilities and decreases risk and vulnerability. Another way is improving food and nutrition security. Poverty is fueled by inequality, vulnerability, and hazards. Hunger is a major impact behind vulnerability. When a person can't eat, they don't have the physical strength to make it through the day and lack the energy to work. Another way is providing affordable healthcare to everyone. Pregnant people need regular check-ups to ensure they get enough nutrients for the baby. By providing affordable healthcare, each person can get better and have the energy to work, which leads to them making money and can help end poverty. Another way is raising the minimum wage. Depending on the size of the workplace, they can higher the minimum wage, especially in a place where the people have a family at home and aren't making enough to provide for themselves. One last way is creating new jobs. Creating new jobs allows more people to work and helps them make the money they need to provide for themselves and or if they have a family at home. Making money can help with the living environment, buying groceries, and so much more.
