Causes of Poverty

Here are some causes of poverty, I found these on http://www.globalissues.org/issue/2/causes-of-poverty 

-Almost half the world live on $2.50 a day

-Nearly a billion people in the 21st century are illeterate 

-The GDP of 41 undeveloped countries is less than the 7 richest people on earth

- less than one percent that the world used on weaponry was needed to put every child in school by the year 2000, although that still didnt happen.

(What is GDP : The price of all the goods and services a country produces within one year)
