Poverty and Economic Inequality

Poverty means when people are not able to fulfill their basic needs of food, shelter, clothes, etc. They are not in the condition to afford the necessities for their families. The reason behind this poverty is that employment is scarce, and people do not have enough money to start their businesses. They have potential but employment opportunities are very limited for them. They do not have money to afford medical facilities. There is so much imbalance between rich and poor in our society. Poor people have very poor and tough standards of living.
