Education vs. Poverty Level

Poverty In Asia

Poverty In Latin America

A majority of the worlds poorest people today are in Asia - mainly because it holds a majority of the world's population. Of course some Asian countries like Japan and South Korea are not as poor as others like India and Cambodia, with Asian poverty being concentrated in South Asia.

Poverty in Latin America is widespread. The indigenous are the poorest of the Latin Americans, and their extreme poverty seems mainly due to unfair distribution of wealth. The rich get richer the poor get poorer.

-McMaster University study (2010) finds a 21-year difference in life expectancy between the poorest neighbourhood and the wealthiest neighbourhood in Hamilton, Ontario.

Poverty In Africa

Independent & Dependent Variables

Analysis

A majority of the worlds poorest countries today are in Africa. In recent years absolute poverty in Africa has shown some slight falls, African income levels have actually been dropping relative to the rest of the world.

- Our independent variable is whether the population of these countries are educated & literate.

- Our dependent variable is whether the population lives in poverty ; because the countries poverty level is dependent on how educated the population is.

Education & Poverty go hand-in-hand. Poverty is constant, when a majority of the country's population is uneducated and illiterate. Countries can reduce poverty level as they educate their population. Mexico is a good example of this in practice as they educated their people there poverty levels reduced; their literacy rating's went up as their poverty levels lowered. Countries tend to remain in poverty when their governments don't educate and vice versa, Countries that educate themselves and have a high literacy rate tend to have lower poverty rates

5 Reasons

1. African land is tough to take care of, rain is scarce and extreme weather makes natural resources tough to maintain.

2. Financial aid going to African countries has often been mostly emergency food aid needed as short-term help with famines african governments have taken the money to use for the military or to add to their profits; corruption has kept the poverty struggle in Africa.

3. The richer countries tend often to exploit poor countries and give unfairly low price for their exports of commodities such as tea, coffee, bananas and their other export products.Africa's natural resources have been taken advantage of by European and American companies largely taking money out of Africa.

4. Post-Secondary education is very scarce within the continent this makes getting out of the poverty cycle near impossible.

5. Africa has many Civil wars, war-torn environments make agriculture suffer. African wars and corrupt governments maintain poverty levels in the continent.
