Report on Poverty and its Effects_1

1POVERTY Poverty is regarded as a serious problem which is destroying the global development andleaving a serious impact on the vulnerable groups in the society of this world. Poverty means thelack of survival through the basic means. The poverty largely prevails in the developing nationsespecially in Africa and South Asia. The meaning of absolute poverty refers to the conditionswhich constitute lack of resources such as clothing, shelter and so forth which are regarded as thebasic amenities for the source of survival (Macionis & Plummer, 2015). The root of absolutepoverty can be due to corruption, the increasing of the gap between rich and poor as well as thepolitical unrest. The aim of the essay is to discuss the impact of the poverty on refugees, childrenwomen and elderly people living in the society. Absolute poverty leaves poor impact on the children group, who are considered to bethe important vulnerable part of the society. The research on psychology demonstrates thathaving an impact of absolute poverty over the children is carrying a wider range of poor effectswithin their school, home and neighborhoods. Poverty on the children are associated with the poor conditions such as inadequatenutrition, food insecurity, lack of child care, neighborhoods who are not safe and the schoolswhich are under resourced, which leaves a deep impact on the nation (James & Prout, 2015). Thepoorer children and the teens also suffer from greater risks for many negative outcomes such aspoor academic successes, dropouts from school, neglect and abuse and these are the problemswhich the children and their families face when they are trying to enter the mental care. Povertyalso leaves adverse effects on the results of the academy especially in the early childhood.Poverty affects the academic gap, which influences the low- income African and Hispanicchildren while they are being compared with the white people (James & Prout, 2015).Out of malnutrition and starvation, the children face poor physical health in comparisonto the children who are not poor children such as low weight at birth, the stunting of growth. Theeffect of poverty influences the health and nutrition of the children which are cognitive ability,achievements in schools as already mentioned before (Ball, 2012).These kinds of deep andpersistent poverty are affecting this important vulnerable group, the children who are the futureof nations. In this context, steps must be taken immediately by the countries in order to providethem a safety future ahead (Giddens et al., 2016).
