15% Of The World's Population Living Below The Poverty Line Although the world's production of food enough for all human beings average of 2720 calories per person per day , but there are 842 million people suffering from hunger every day !

Poverty

Says Dr. Magdy Badran , Ain Shams University , said that recent studies show that one out of every four children under five suffer stunted because of malnutrition ! ! There are also 2 million people lack the vitamins and minerals necessary for good health.

In celebrations of the world International Day of feed must be stressed that there is what is known as " hungry world ," a lack of adequate food for active and healthy life and during the twentieth century , died about 70 million people from starvation all over the world , especially in China and the Soviet Union , India and Africa.

There are currently nearly 1 billion people , or 15 % of the estimated world population of 6.8 billion live under the mantle of chronic hunger.

Dr. Magdy shows that the majority of people suffering from malnutrition live in developing countries , and more than 70 % of children who suffer from malnutrition live in Asia , 26 % in Africa and 4 % in Latin America and the Caribbean .

It is strange that in the United States is a rich country , there is a 13 % live within the confines of the permanent hunger and nearly 25% of American children there do not have any food in dinner , or about 17 million children .

The identification of the concept of poverty is not easy, arises where a great deal of controversy and disagreement about the appropriate definition of poverty, some researchers poverty is defined according to income or rather due to the lack of income, and other researchers emphasize that poverty should be measured by the inability of the individual to obtain the necessary social requirements, and accepted that poverty, can not be reduced only in the deprivation of financial resources that this concept be expanded to include other forms of human deprivation concept of poverty is defined from the perspective of social exclusion.

Has become a poverty problem in our country today is structurally stable and elusive and multifaceted, is the weakness of job opportunities available in the case of marginalization that are attacking large groups of society, which would be spared to take advantage of infrastructure and social services available to the rare and deprive them from participating in decision-making.
The failures associated with poverty, political, economic and social failure of many development schemes, defined by Morocco since independence, particularly on the program and the accompanying structural adjustment measures, have resulted in cases of austerity, unemployment and inflation and a wage freeze and tax pressure and the decline in purchasing power and extremely difficult to access social services, and an imbalance in the the distribution of income. Which led to the impoverishment of the poor and more wealth and prosperity for the majority of the rich few lucky ones.
In terms of figures about the number of poor people today in our country of 5 million people, according to the results of recent research on the standard of living of households, 4 million Moroccans live below the relative poverty threshold (an annual expenditure of less than 3235 DH in urban areas and 2989 DH in rural areas and so on) live 3 million of the total poor in the villages and one million in cities and about 25% of the Moroccan economic weakness large (annual expenditure is less than 4500 DH).
Thus, poverty is, in depth, a rural phenomenon, and this is confirmed by research and the first map of poverty carried out by the High Planning Commission and the World Bank recently.
On the other hand, poverty affects mainly women and young people and children.

The idea that poverty and deprivation are transmitted from one generation to the next, thus creating a selfperpetuating system or vicious circle. The children of poor parents may receive little parental support and may be forced to attend inadequate schools. As a result, they leave school at the earliest possible opportunity and with few qualifications.
