Natural disasters Destroys homes, businesses and crops People loose their homes and their jobs Disease spreads quickly; people die or cannot work Infrastructure (roads and railways) are damaged making recovery of homes and businesses very difficult Some developing nations are particularly prone to natural disasters due to the geography of the country, e.g. Bangladesh floods regularly due to low-lying land. Slide 3: The Causes of World Poverty 2. War and Civil Unrest Government spending is on weapons and army wages. Kills family wage-earners so families suffer. Destroys farms and businesses Workers are killed or disabled by loss of limbs, meaning they cannot work and cannot pay tax Without tax from individuals and businesses, government cannot pay for hospitals, schools and roads Slide 4: The Causes of World Poverty 3. Unfair trade and Cash crops Many developing nations employ all their land and people in producing just one kind of crop that is sold for cash to the rest of the world. For example, tea, coffee, bananas, cocoa, nuts. These are “cash crops”. When supermarkets in rich countries want to buy these goods they insist on only paying a low price, so that they can make a large profit. The farmers do not make a fair price for their crops. The governments of less economically developed nations producing these crops does not earn enough tax to pay for schools, hospitals and roads. Slide 5: The Causes of World Poverty 4. National debt Many less economically developed nations have borrowed large sums of money from wealthier governments The loans are granted by wealthy nations because they can charge large amounts of interest The government in poorer countries has to spend all its income from taxes on repaying debt, rather than improving the lives of their citizens. This was the focus of recent ‘drop the debt’ and ‘make poverty history’ campaigns. Slide 6: The Causes of World Poverty 5. Disease Diseases such as HIV/AIDs and malaria cause great suffering and poverty in many less economically developed nations When an adult man or woman is unwell, not only do they suffer, but their children and their whole community suffers the loss of that person to ill health. The viscous cycle of poverty is very difficult to break Slide 7: The Need for World Development Why should the governments and citizens of wealthier countries try to relieve poverty in other countries? Slide 8: The Need for World Development It is our moral duty to help those who need help. We are one global ‘society’, and should care for all members of our global community Only by fulfilling our responsibilities to others can we claim to have rights for ourselves. Slide 9: The Need for World Development War and civil unrest , natural disasters and economic pressures cause people in less economically developed nations to leave their homes in search of better circumstances. This can cause conflict and social unrest in countries where refugees arrive. The vast majority of the world’s refugees seek shelter in other poor countries. This is very expensive and makes conditions in the recipient countries worse for everybody. Slide 10: The Need for World Development If farmers and workers in less economically developed nations earn more money for their labour, they would be able to buy the products produced in wealthier nations such as the UK. This means everyone benefits from trade and a ‘virtuous cycle’ of economic growth is created. Fairer trade produces more stable prosperity for everyone in the world. Slide 11: The Need for World Development By working to improve the environment in less economically nations, the whole world benefits. In less developed economies, people care about the environment, but feeding and housing families is more important, for example by cutting down trees to sell or use in building. By helping to tackle these problems, less economically developed nations can afford to take more care of their natural resources such as rainforests, benefitting everyone by reducing global warming. Slide 12: The Need for World Development Diseases such as HIV/AIDs and Malaria do not respect national boundaries, rich or poor. By tackling disease and the causes of disease in less economically developed nations, the whole world benefits. You do not have the permission to view this presentation.
