The gap between the rich and the poor is growing. What problems does this create? What can be done to tackle them?

Unequal distribution of wealth is one of the common

problems

faced by developing nations.

creates a significant gap between the wealthy and the poor and leads to many socio-economic

problems

. Economic disparity not only affects the lives of the

people

but

also

hinders the overall economic development of a nation. The

government

should always strive towards minimizing

this

gap. If we look at the

problems

caused by

this

phenomenon, we will find a number of issues. One of the main
