Poverty as a Social Problem by: Ed Ryan Vegafria
Poverty isn't really a burden on society or the country. Despite the fact that it has safeguarded all elements of the World, the birthplaces of poverty are everywhere. Neediness is not a natural phenomenon. It is the result of several circumstances that strengthen its foundation.
The number of the population is the best explanation for poverty. The number of population in an economy can be directly related to its neediness rate. The growing population makes it difficult to provide basic comforts to every citizen of the country.
The growing population threatens to lead to a lack of education and, ultimately, unemployment. The majority of these unemployed people are young individuals. They struggle to find acceptable employment and eventually end up in poverty. Furthermore, their frustration drives the country to widespread defilement and wrongdoing.
A country's economy, such as the Philippines', is always expanding. The swelling is caused by an increase (inflation) in the cost of goods, followed by a lack of appropriate resources. The lack of capital acts as a barrier to the growth of businesses and developments, causing the economy to reverse and rest in destitution.
As a concern citizen of this country, we the youth of our nation, have the capacity to significantly change the present situation. The steps we may take against poverty include things like organizing groups and raising awareness in rural areas, teaching the illiterate in our own communities, establishing charitable programs for the poor, and etc.
With this, we can may be lessen our expenses, and hopefully we can cope with the changes in the prices (inflation).
