Pobreza

Pobreza is the Spanish term for “poverty,” which refers to the state of having insufficient financial resources to meet basic living standards, such as food, shelter, clothing, and healthcare. It describes a condition where individuals or communities lack the means to sustain a comfortable standard of living, resulting in social and economic disadvantages. Poverty can be absolute, where individuals do not have enough resources to meet essential needs, or relative, where individuals lack the level of income or resources compared to others in society. The causes of poverty can be multifaceted, including economic factors, lack of education, unemployment, social inequality, and systemic barriers. Poverty has significant implications for health, education, and overall well-being, affecting not only individuals but also families and entire communities. Addressing poverty involves various initiatives aimed at providing support, resources, and opportunities to improve the living conditions and opportunities for those affected.
