, the lack of money and basic needs would be an incentive to do lots of anti-social activities which can gain these necessaries for existence to themselves and their loved ones. Another factor is the existing number of uneducated populations who are jobless since they are none of the degrees to get an ideal job. To survive, they would misbehave doing unsuitable ways eventually.

This

problem can take steps to address by the governments.

Firstly

, the governments should employ a progressive tax and benefits system, once richer are forced to pay more taxes, the authorities will gain more money to solve the issue by encouraging many private companies to recruit more employees.

, in developed countries

such

as the UK and Japan, after the regulations of providing educational opportunities for civilians throughout the country, the crime rate has decreased immensely. In conclusion, various measures can be taken to tackle the issue caused by income disparity and the lack of education for residents.
