The gap between the rich and the poor is becoming wider; the richer are becoming richer, and the poor are getting even poorer. What problems can the situation cause? What can be done to reduce this gap?

Nowadays, we can see the inequality between the rich and the poor, when the rich are becoming richer, the poor are getting much poorer. So why does

this

problem become more clear? I will explain

this

and suggest some ways to cut down

this

distance.

Firstly

, the reason that can be seen easily is the result of economic transformation. The rich have

money

and sources to invest in facilities, companies, and factories,... which bring them more

money

but take off the poor’s homes.

Moreover

, the poor who have no houses must live in cheap apartments which belong to wealthy people so that the

money

that the poor earn from hard work will flow into the rich’s pockets.

Secondly

, the poor have fewer opportunities to access good

education

than the rich. Many families in the country have no

money

for their

children

to go to school and

this

problem has lasted for many generations.

In contrast

,

children

from rich families can easily access the best

education

so that they can at least have a steady job and internship in the future and have no time to think about a hard life or poverty. Fortunately, the distance between those two classes still has solutions. One is that the government can provide better chances for poor

children

to access basic

education

.

For example

, in Finland,

education

is completely free for

children

under 18 years old.

This

way can bring equality at first for everyone and they will make a difference by trying hard in the future. Another way is that higher taxation needs to add to the rich’s income. Tax is a financial burden for the poor but it is of no worth to the rich so the government needs to make rich people understand how the poor feel. The gap between wealth and poverty is becoming wider because of many reasons, but we would narrow it if we thought more about the poor.
