Rich countries are getting richer and poor countries are getting poorer. What are the causes? What could be done to solve this problem?
Poor
countries
are getting poorer whereas rich countries
are getting richer. There are many reasons behind this
statement and this
essay will discuss the two main reasons (Population
and Poor Governance) as well as solutions to these problems.
The sharp increase in population
and poor leadership
in some regions are the major reasons why these countries
are poorer as compared to others. The population
is the leading cause of unemployment which leads to low per-capita income and further
leads to low GDP of the country
. According to a survey in 2018, the percentage of global wealth in high-income countries
like the USA and parts of Europe is higher and is inversely proportional to their population
. Similarly
, the population
of countries
like India and Vietnam is much higher resulting in a lower proportion of global wealth. In addition
, poor political leadership
is another main cause behind countries
failing as economies and are unable to get out of this
vicious circle. The Government plays a significant role in increasing the ratio of global wealth in its country
but there are many leaders that are failing to keep the economic boat afloat by spending surplus money on elements that are not of much importance. To cite an example, the Indian Government spent INR 3800 crores on a statue rather than diverting the amount to more pressing issues which can create more job opportunities and eventually enjoy financial freedom. These are the two leading causes why rich countries
are prospering financially and other regions are struggling.
The solutions to the problems mentioned above are birth
control and better leadership
. Birth
control is one of the ways to tackle the problem of population
. There should be norms to have only 1 child which can play a significant in curbing the population
. For instance
, China has been controlling birth
for a long time and has succeeded to a large extent and it has helped China to increase employment opportunities all over the country
. In addition
, it has put China in a better position monetarily and it has become one of the leading economies of the world. Additionally
, the solution to poor governance is to elect better leaders who understand economics and can create better job opportunities and lead the country
to a being rich.
To conclude, the two major problems which are population
and poor Government can be tackled by amicable solutions (birth
control and smarter leadership
). This
is the way the poorer countries
can become rich and compete with other parts of the world.Submitted by gagan.katalyst on
