The problem of poverty in South Asia

Анотація

Currently, the global social danger is the threat of impoverishment. Poverty has always been a pressing problem, but nowadays this issue is particularly acute, because a significant part of the world’s population is below the poverty line or close to the border of the “social bottom”, which is clearly seen in the countries of South Asia. This is especially noticeable against the background of a strong stratification, when the income difference between the poor and the rich is tens, hundreds and thousands of times. Moreover, this process is dynamic, the poor are getting poorer and the rich are getting richer.
