Why the Very Poor Have Become Poorer

6/3/2016

In this thought-provoking article, the author delves into the reasons behind the increasing poverty among the very poor. The article highlights the paradoxical situation where, despite economic growth and development, the poorest individuals and communities have been left behind. The author attributes this issue to several factors, including government policies that disproportionately benefit the wealthy, lack of investment in social programs, and the erosion of workers' rights. The article argues that addressing the widening gap between the rich and the poor requires a more equitable distribution of resources and a comprehensive approach to tackling poverty. It calls for a reevaluation of existing policies and a focus on empowering the most vulnerable members of society.
