Poverty And Poverty

Poverty has been rapidly increasing all over the world and it is a problem that is not being fought against. Many individuals have stated that the reason for this mass poverty increase is because of the refugee crisis and the social inequalities in the countries. Social inequality plays a huge part in the poverty issue that exists today. Capitalism is one of the reasons why there is a huge imbalance in the social equality. In the article, it states that even with such high poverty rates many countries are currently trying to resolve this issue. I believe this article is directed towards the wealthier and more fortunate countries such as the UK where the article was originated from.
