From Wikipedia, the free
encyclopedia Poverty refers to
the condition of not having the means to afford basic human needs such as
clean water, nutrition, health care,education, clothing and shelter.[1][2]
This is also referred to as absolute poverty or destitution. Relative
poverty is the condition of having fewer resources or less income than
others within a society or country, or compared to worldwide averages.
Before the industrial revolution, poverty had mostly been the norm.[3][4]
Poverty reduction has historically been a result of economic growth as
increased levels of production, such as modern industrial technology, made
more wealth available for those who were otherwise too poor to afford
them.[4][5] Also, investments in modernizing agriculture and increasing
yields is considered the core of the antipoverty effort, given
three-quarters of the world's poor are rural farmers.[6][7] Today, continued
economic development is constrained by the lack of economic freedoms.
Economic liberalization includes extending property rights, especially to
land, to the poor, and making financial services, notably savings,
accessible.[8][9][10] Inefficient institutions, corruption and political
instability can also discourage investment. Aid and government support in
health, education and infrastructure helps growth by increasing human and
physical capital. |
