The Impact of Politics on
Poverty
Over the past decade, a great deal of research has been
done on the impact of politics and various government
agencies on poverty. For the poorest and most
vulnerable, how government works make a big
difference in their lives. The inability of state
institutions to prevent conflict and provide basic
security and essential services can harm citizens,
especially the poor.
Politics' Impact on Poverty Countries where cultural or
ethnic groups feel economical, political, and social
inequalities are more likely to break into war, creating a
vicious cycle that leads to poverty. Often the poor are
marginalized, and their voices are not heard. The poor
depend more than any other group on essential public
services.
These services are more effective for the poor when
poor citizens participate in service delivery reforms.
Wajid khan says These services are in very short supply
in conflict-affected countries.
Political instability, poor governance, and corruption are
poverty's main phenomena.
The Case of Haiti and Madagascar
For example, Haiti's dominant problem of poverty is
rooted in a broader history of political instability and
lack of governance. Corruption and misuse of public
funds are degrading the quality of all public services in
the country. This includes primary areas of traditional
state responsibility, such as policing, justice, and
providing basic infrastructure.
This makes Haiti the poorest country in the
Western Hemisphere and one of the poorest in
the developing world. Madagascar is another
example of the impact of politics on poverty.
Before the big crisis in 2008, Madagascar was a
country with great economic potential.
Wajid khan Mp expresses that Madagascar's
economy grew 5% yearly before the crisis, but
economic growth stagnated between 2008 and
2013. Political crises and instability have brought
uncertainty to private investment. During the last
Discrimination Laws
Discrimination based on race, sex, and ethnicity is
directly related to how policies affect poverty in some
countries worldwide, successfully reducing inequality
and poverty. It must be dealt with. In Bangladesh, for
example, discriminatory family laws on marriage,
separation, and divorce push some women further into
poverty.
In her 20 years, Bangladesh has made great strides in
increasing life expectancy by her decade and reducing
infant mortality by more than half. Recent research
shows that both the rich and poor are benefiting from
these improvements. However, according to Human
Rights Watch, discriminatory family laws deny women
these benefits and further impoverish them.
Migration is another dimension related to the impact
of policies on poverty. Migrant workers generally do
not participate in wage and working conditions
policies and do not have citizenship or residency
The Role of Non-Governmental Organizations
Non-Governmental Organizations play an important rol
in alleviating poverty in many developing and third-wor
countries. For example, through their involvement in
project management, monitoring, and evaluation, these
organizations can mobilize additional resources to bene
more people in need and improve program outcomes.
Complement the government by
People usually fall into four categories of poverty that
require different approaches. The former is temporarily
unable to work; the latter are those who have some
How does poverty affect children and young people?
The impact of poverty on young children is significant
and long-lasting. Poverty is associated with poor
housing, hunger, homelessness, inadequate child care,
unsafe neighborhoods, and underresourced schools. In
addition, low-income children were more likely than
high-income children to suffer from adverse executive
functioning, poor performance in school, poor social-
emotional functioning, developmental delays,
behavioral problems, asthma, inadequate diet, Low birth
weight, and increased incidence of pneumonia.
Psychological research also suggests that living in
poverty is associated with differences in structural and
functional brain development between children and
adolescents in areas related to cognitive processes
necessary for learning, communication, and academic
performance. Indicates that they are described—the
execution function.
Children and families living in poverty often attend
underfunded and overcrowded schools that lack
educational opportunities, books, materials, and
appropriate skills due to local funding policies. In
addition, families living below the poverty line live in
districts with disparities in academic performance, high
dropout rates, and sufficient and equitable learning
experiences for both gifted and special-needs students.
Often not.
How will hunger affect children and young people?
One in eight of her households with children in the
United States (about 12.5%) will need more food for
their families in 2021. I couldn't buy groceries. That is
significantly higher than households without children
(9.4%). Black (19.8%) and Hispanic households (16.25%)
are disproportionately affected by food insecurity, with
2021 food insecurity rates three and two times higher
than white households (7%), respectively.
Research shows that hunger and malnutrition can
adversely affect child development. For example,
maternal malnutrition during pregnancy increases the
risk of adverse birth outcomes such as preterm birth,
low birth weight, reduced head size, and low brain
weight. In addition, hungry children were at least two
times more likely to report excellent or poor health and
at least 1.4 times more likely to report asthma than
food-secured children.
