The high level of urban poverty is due to the migration of people from rural areas to urban areas (eg finding a better paid, better quality of health and education services).

RESPONSIBLE The causes that cause poverty are the most varied depending on

the viewpoint from which position is taken. Lack of resources, lack of production, maldistribution of wealth, etc .; They are the most common excuses to justify their existence. But these examples are actions, they are human acts (poverty is a human made). There is someone who is responsible for distributing these resources and wealth, and boost production. Someone responds by generating poverty.

Those responsible for this are not only the rich businessmen, governors, etc. They also each of the people by not seeking or doing things well whether decent work for stand or work in something, they seek are the easy things which are still being in poverty, because not everyone is in this situation is because the searches themselves.

POSSIBLE SOLUTION

Poverty can never be eradicated, because although there are many poor product of the exploitation of man by man. Many people also choose to be poor because they do not like to study or work, and of course, no one will give anything away. If someone tells you that the solution lies in Socialism or Communism, you realize that in these countries the wealth is not distributed as they say their rulers if not that poverty is shared and all are alike but all poor.
