Introduction: Poverty and Income Inequality are linked in the gaps between worlds of the rich and poor.  Both Poverty and Inequality face challenges in not only polices but how they effect the economies around us. This factor also challenges the policies on the effectiveness of emerging economies.  Growing up in a poverty family and relying on food stamps to feed our family of five helped me chose this global societal issue.  The overall importance of this research is to develop and pursue new options in transforming the way the government handles certain situations.  With each approach and support of higher government, poverty and inequality can be minimunzed but will never really be resolved.  This research allows the opportunity to find new and exsiting soultions in order to maintain and stabilize a well balanced society.  Each day our world struggles with these current issues and it is only with the support of the government that we will be able to create a better opporuntinty for the working person.

Thesis Statement:  Whereas understanding there is no clear solution for either, both poverty and income inequality have their own impact on the economic and demographic factors.  Although, this given information suggests that poverty and income inequality use a multifaceted approach, it is nessecary to understand the impact on both issues to solve future issues.

If they focus on giving us a chance in life we can actually do something in this World’: Poverty, Inequality, and Youths’ Critical Consciousness.

Annotation:  The studies that were in this article gave me a different perspective of how Povery and Inequality hinders a young child’s life.  They are not only affected by both global issues but they have to deal with it themselves.  Children are like sponges and they soak up all of the negative and postivie things around them.  When they are in this environment it puts a hinder in their little brains.  This then proceeds into their adult life and it is never a win win for them in the long run.  Once a person has to deal with these certain issues, it is hard to put it behind them.  It usually starts within the family and more than likely that will lead into the next generation repeating the same scnnerio.  It is within these open ended questions that I was able to dig a little deeper and get a better understaind of the youth’s side.  Once this was indicated more issues arose that dealt with more that just poverty and inequaity.  These transformed into community violence and bullying.  Within each area, adequate information was given to support these details.  Each genre had their own description which then lead into the analytic strategy.  The testing that was provided gave a deeper insight on the youth and I was allowed to gain even more evidence in my research.

Annotation:  This scholary journal gave sufficient evidence on how overtime, neither wages or low earning have changed.  Even though the world is changing everyday, these global issues have either stayed dorminant or not exsiting at all in the governments eyes.  As a society, it is brought to our attention on the proper procdures that need to be completed in order to bring awareness to this current issue.  This evidence is shown through time lines which detailed adequate information that was gathered through different periods of time.  It then leads into multiple data collections to estimate the effect of poverty.  Within these guidelines, both direct and indirect results were found in levels of poverty.  This source allows details to be established to give a better understanding of the information.  This effect on society shared a deeper understanding on how we can benefit from reducing poverty and inequality as a community and government.

Financial Inclusion, Poverty and Income Inequality

Annotation:  All three of these current and changing global issues play a factor in the world we live in today.  This article provides evidence of how the financial inclusion brings both poverty and income inequality into a new perspective.  Both poverty and inequality has supporting facts to establish that financial inclusion can be an indicator that aligns both poverty and inequality together.  This evidence then leads into the economic review and their studies on different countries.  Tables are also presented in this research to give a current rank and country to get a broader range of comparison.  Also, financial inclusion is supported with many available serives for families and how they can be provided opportunities for advancement in the income bracket.  Each bracket is broke down into tax rate and taxale income bracket.  Within these brackets, indviduals are assessed on their fincancial inclusion and then they are given a rank in order to be evaluated in the process.  This evidence is crucital when representing and providing evidence for support.
