If you compared people living in poverty in the united states with those living in poverty in peripheral or developing nations, what similarities would you expect to find? what differences? how do you think the high level of inequality within the united states would factor in?

In Latin America poverty is structural and is becoming increasingly entrenched. Some governments strengthen and expand and others generate policies that help part of that population have greater possibilities to improve their living conditions.

In recent years, levels of poverty in the US have grown at a rapid pace and the living conditions of this segment of the population have also declined. They face great problems such as the strong inequality, the persistence of racism or the existence of a bias from rich and powerful sectors.

Currently, governments in developing countries and North America, lack policies that provide assistance to the most vulnerable sectors of the population. The fundamental difference is that in Latin America, poverty has always existed and they can access basic services at no cost. Although they are crowded and do not give enough coverage.

On the other hand, although it would seem like a help, the possibilities of obtaining money in the USA through credits means that the populations living in poverty become impoverished even more.

Poverty is difficult everywhere in the world. And, unfortunately, lately, countries tend to ignore it, accentuating differences and widening the gap between social classes.
