Essay / Poverty and inequality in developing countries
Poverty is a major problem in most societies around the world. Poverty is when people live with fewer resources than the average person, who lives in a decent house with a car and a family that they love and care for. Additionally, poverty is not only a financial and physical issue, it includes emotional depression, such as feeling hungry, frustrated, tired and hopeless throughout the year.
