Every country has poor people and every country has different ways of dealing with the poor. What are some of the reasons for world poverty? How can the poor be helped?

Recently,

poverty

has become a global

issue

. While some countries succeed to solve

this

problem, others struggle to

support

their poor citizens. In

this

essay, I will discuss the reasons for world

poverty

and the remarkable measures that could be taken by governments toward their poor citizens. There are two paramount causes for the global

poverty

issue

. The

first

reason is the

increase

in the rates of the world population. Since the number of people on the planet exceeds the number of resources, resources are being controlled by the rich. Egyptians,

for instance

, have become more than a hundred million citizens in the

last

decade leading to the exacerbating of

poverty

in Egypt because the government has been unable to offer food and shelter for all of these people.

In addition

, the gap between the rich and poor is another pivotal reason for

poverty

. Because of the loss of social

support

from the rich to the poor and the

increase

of taxes on income and accommodation many parents suffer to provide a reasonable standard of living for their

families

. In a word, the

increase

in world population and the decrease of social

support

for the poor are the quintessential causes of the global

poverty

problem.

Consequently

,

this

issue

could be solved through several governmental measures. Governments should raise awareness of their individuals for the necessity of birth control. The should launch awareness campaigns through the media and legislate laws to punish parents of more than three children by paying more taxes, whereas giving

support

for small

families

. Countries

such

as China have already succeeded in legislating these laws and controlling their human expansion.

Moreover

, governments should

support

the poor and lower taxes on food and accommodation.

This

taxation policy will secure a good standard of living for poor

families

.

Thus

,

this

issue

could be solved through governmental efforts to offer ways for the poor to lead a humane life. In conclusion, in my opinion,

poverty

is the result of the

increase

in the numbers of public living on the planet and in the lack of social

support

for basic humanitarian needs.

Therefore

, authorities should allocate funds to help the poor have small

families

that could find food and shelter.
