Poverty in Developed Countries

These is going to be our last post! It’s great because were going to start filming our documentary. I have some ideas of what my friend Isabella and I want to do and put to our documentary. You can click here to see them.

The normal policies of developed and developing countries is that they differ a lot. In developing countries they do not earn as much as in a developed country. Do to this, developed countries measure the income level of poverty by an average which is that poor people cannot afford the basic needs such as a house. For people with very low status in which they do not earn money, they become homeless because they can’t afford a house. Others that are in very extreme conditions live in substandard and sometimes in very dangerous houses. Many of the poor people in developed countries since they don’t have nothing else to do they start drugging themselves and drug dealing with other and selling them to earn something. Also they abuse of kids and do other crimes.

The United States has the most higher rate of poverty than other developed countries, for reasons only partly understood. A study of 16 nations was defined that poverty is earning below the middle of all. About the 19 percent of the United States lives in a degree of poverty. Rates between 10 to 15 percent were in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Japan, Spain, and the United Kingdom. And the lowest percents were 5 to 8 in the western parts of Europe including France, Belgium, Italy, German, and The Netherlands, Scandinavian countries such as; Finland, Norway, and Sweden.

Poverty rates in some developed countries like the United States and the United Kingdom, they have higher national minorities among each other. In many developed countries they tend to suffer form very high rates of poverty. In the United States many Native Americans live and work on economically reservations and experience high rates of alcoholism and joblessness. And in Australia, many Aboriginal people live in similar conditions.
Well in fact what I think about developed countries and poverty is that I thought that in developing countries was going to be more dangerous to walk at night in the streets but it isn’t. In developed countries there is more people begging for money. Do to wealthy people that have lot’s of money and beautiful houses. The poor ones are going to be jealous and since they can’t do other thing than steal they would rob the houses. Since the government is not helping them finding a job and poor people are not searching for one they country would still keep on being the same.

I have really learned about all types of poverty in developed, developing countries, causes and effects etc…

I’m so happy that finally we are going to film our documentary. I’m really anxious to see how it all ends as I have already told you, you can see our page and see that ideas we have posted and if you have comments please go ahead.
