You should spend about 40 minutes on this task.

Write about the following topic:

All over the world, the rich are becoming richer and the poor are becoming poorer. What problems does this cause? How can we overcome the problems of poverty?

Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge or experience.

You should write at least 250 words.

Sample Answer 1

More than 70% of global resources and wealth are controlled by only 7% of the population, showing the overwhelming disparity of resource distribution worldwide. As a result of capitalism and improper allocation of facilities and resources, the poor are becoming even poorer while the rich are amassing more wealth. This causes unimaginable problems for humans, and some steps should be implemented immediately to reduce discrimination in wealth distribution.

To begin with, the inequality of wealth distribution increases delinquency. It is noticeable that the crime rate worldwide has significantly increased as the wealthier are getting more affluent, and the poor are suffering to support their basic needs. The overall development of a country does not depend on a tiny portion of rich people; rather, it depends on an active economy and fair wealth distribution. Moreover, when the discrimination between rich and poor increases, the political situation deteriorates and a country steps into the verse of corruption and civil war.

To overcome the poverty problem, the state must emphasise quality education. Education is the most critical answer to this problem. Moreover, the government should utilise the country’s resources and support small and medium entrepreneurs by providing subsidies. Finally, the state should fund fundamental needs like education and treatment. For example, according to a recent article in a research journal, most rich nations have been prosperous due to their better education system and fair governance system.  

To conclude, the increasing gaps between the rich and the needy bring many predicaments to a country, and quality education solves the poverty problem. The government must ensure an active economy to ensure fair resource distribution.

Sample Answer 2

The gap between the rich and the poor is widening faster than ever worldwide. This enormous gap certainly causes many problems that a nation must endure solving through various means. This essay discusses the issues associated with lack and proposes some solutions to alleviate poverty.

There is almost an endless list of problems that stem from poverty. To name a few, food, water, and clothing scarcity, weak shelters, the spread of dangerous diseases, indulgence in criminal activities, mental illness and low life expectancy. Poor people are trapped in horrendous insufficiency and cannot educate their children. The root cause of poverty is the lack of proper education and hence employment-related problems. This creates an evil circle of scarcity for poor families that they can not break.

Moreover, poverty increases crimes in an area, disturbing social harmony. Where the poor struggle even harder to meet their basic means, the rich are getting pampered by wealth and luxury. This discrimination can even lead to civil war.

To overcome the problems of poverty, governments should carefully analyse the distribution of funds and wealth throughout the country. Non-profit voluntary organisations should work actively in rural areas to uplift the poor, mainly in education and skill development areas. Furthermore, the prosperous should contribute financially and work selflessly towards creating job opportunities and helping needy people.

To conclude, the world would be a better place to live only if we keep poverty from rising beyond limits. Poverty is a curse, and a collaborative effort, education and employment opportunities can mitigate it to a great extent.
