The gap between the rich and the poor is wider than it ever has been. What are the causes of this? What can be done to solve it?

Distinct economic values have led to a huge distance between societies. As these days the difference between these two groups is getting more significant, the reason behind

this

phenomenon is getting quite debatable worldwide. In

this

essay, under layered drivers of

this

issue

in addition

to relevant solutions will be mentioned.

To begin

with, the first and foremost cause of the existence of the

gap

between rich and poor lies in the fact that in countries dealing with

this

issue, some corruption is leading to unequal distribution of the state's wealth among

people

. In

such

countries, properties are being unfairly addressed to families of higher social status rather than communities in favour.

For instance

, research conducted on African economic scandals has indicated that opulent families are receiving subsidies ten times more than poor ones. As a resolution, authorities can bridge

this

gap

by imposing taxes on

people

with higher incomes

while

preventing tax evasion and dedicating the money to destitute societies. The more the government offers help to poverty-stricken

people

, the more job opportunities and education will appear, prior to a lower rate of immigration from poor to wealthy states which stands as the second reason for

this

gap

. Economists working on the reason behind economic inflation in Iran, have come to the conclusion that the circle of poverty can not be broken as individuals living in economically backward regions have few occupational and educational opportunities to rely on for improving quality of life.

Subsequently

,

people

would immigrate to more developed societies in order to reach their desired goals.

However

, a measure taken by several countries has shown tangible results in eradicating recession which is offering full-fund studying positions and adopting policies focused on small businesses.

To conclude

,

although

the lack of fair distribution and contribution from the government have led to a huge

gap

between individuals from divergent financial positions, a closer monitoring of rich families' tax payments and an increased rate of contribution to poor

people

might act as a successful resolution
