Rich people are getting richer, and poor people are getting poorer. The gap between rich and poor people is widening. What problems can the situation cause? What can be done to reduce this gap?

Nowadays, some

people

are convinced that the

gap

between the rich and poor is getting wider due to their

wealth

and status.

This

essay will debate both the causes and measures of

this

phenomenon. To start with, the

first

reason why the

gap

is wider can be the unfair allocation of social resources and opportunities. Social resources are distributed unbalanced due to regional differences. The increasing investment and labour sources are flooding into metropolitan cities,

such

as New York, Shanghai, Tokyo and Moscow, which bring more job vacancies and

wealth

.

As a result

,

people

are more likely to live in big cities rather than small towns let alone the countryside, and the poor living in these areas have no choice but to live a harder life.

On the other hand

, lethargy or lack of information about marketing is another significant cause of the broadening

gap

between rich and poor. In most cases, a rich family could send their children abroad to accept better or higher education.

Therefore

, the

next

generation of the rich is more likely to become elites, which have more access to make profits.

Besides

, rich parents can give their children great help with a powerful social network and financial support, so it is much easier for rich

people

to launch a new career or make more profits with enough disposable

wealth

and plenty of chances.

By contrast

, these sources are unavailable for poor families.

Government

plays a crucial role in tackling

this

issue.

Firstly

, the

government

should pay more attention to the inequality of social resource distribution, once

this

unbalanced allocation is detected, the

government

need to redistribute these sources. In order to achieve a better effect, relevant policies and decrees should be made. Except for

this

, governors must complete the system of public

wealth

and insurance to ensure the basic living standards of poor

people

. Subsidy of education and employment can

also

be an efficient way to improve the situation. In a nutshell, the causes of the broadening

gap

between rich and poor are multifaceted and complex, and

government

must take responsibility to bridge the

gap

.
