Most of the poor people in Latin America live in rural areas. Extreme poverty is also higher in
the countryside than in the city
Children are more affected by poverty than adults. This is because poor families are bigger
Poverty also affects women more than men,
especially in cities
The Organized Poor
It is necessary that the poor organize themselves to face their situation and implement political participation options to influence the decisions of the State
People are often manipulated by politicians who manage clientele, or by intermediaries who measure people's trust
Increase in Differences
The increasing global concentration of production and knowledge in a handful of countries
has caused the increase in inequalities
There are difficult barriers to overcome that stand in the way of the poorest countries towards economic growth
Causes of Poverty

If someone can sometimes study, this person has to give up the education to work early
This person cannot buy books or access the internet or use itself in skilled jobs

Poverty
It is considered that a person lives in conditions of poverty when the income per inhabitant of their home is less than the value of the minimum amount necessary that would allow them to meet their essential needs: access to housing, health services, education, drinking water, etc.
Extreme poverty or indigence exists when the income of a person or a
household is not enough to cover the cost of a basic food basket
