Poverty is a widespread problem affecting hundreds of millions of people worldwide. It is defined as living on less than $1.90 per day. The causes of poverty include unemployment, lack of access to education and social services, and events like the COVID-19 pandemic. Effects of poverty include limited access to healthcare, higher crime rates, and intergenerational poverty. Solutions involve financial assistance for healthcare and education, investment in nutrition programs, and humanitarian relief efforts. Recommendations are improving access to healthcare in rural areas, increasing employment opportunities, reducing corruption, and providing basic health and nutrition education.
