What Causes and Makes Poverty?

What we had to do: what we had to do was make a descriptive piece of writing and explain the differences between a LEDC (least economically developed country) and a MEDC (Most economically developed country. We had to look at different aspects like, Climate, Population, Economics and Politics.


The causes and effects of poverty 

What creates poverty? Climate, Population, Economics and Politics are all causes of this… But do you know why?

Climate

Climate can really change someone’s life because having no rain can lead to dehydration, crops dying and can even lead to death. People tend to walk miles and miles not for exercise but to get a bucket of water for themselves or for their family. Sometimes people don’t have enough water for everyone so some people have to go without. Having rain is alright but having a lot of rain can give people floods and drown plants. Having no rain makes the country or the place you live in have droughts and it makes the plants dry.

Population

Having a big population can make running a family more easy but there is a con to this people have to get more resources to go around the family. When having a big population it makes it harder for people to get the common necessities like food and water. Lots of countries have a big population and birth rate, this can lead up to having no money and no money leads to poverty.

Economics

Some countries people don't get paid as much so they are considered a poor country also known as a (Less Economically Developed Country). I think that having less money than the other countries is really unfair and some kids have to go through child labour because they need the money. When kids go through child labour they don’t get that much money and they probably get a few cents even if they work a whole day.

Politics

Politics is a really bad thing because having Governments making bad choices can make things very hard for others. For example there might be a very dry season so the Government may raise the price for water or maybe they are running low on resources so they have to raise the price of the resources. This whole Government thing can lead to civil wars and civil wars are people arguing about Governments making wrong choices and when that happens people get mad and can make the country they live in a very unstable country. What I think is really unfair is people, the poor people get poorer and the richer get richer.
