Global poverty

Global poverty refers to the widespread lack of essential resources like food, clean water, shelter, education, and healthcare that prevent people from leading healthy and productive lives. It most intensely affects developing countries, where economic opportunities are limited and social services are underfunded. Poverty is driven by factors such as inequality, conflict, lack of education, and inadequate infrastructure. Addressing it requires coordinated efforts to promote economic growth, improve access to services, and reduce disparities, ensuring all individuals have the means to meet their basic needs and pursue a better future.
