Why are antipoverty programs necessary? How effective are American antipoverty programs when compared with those of other countries?

What will be an ideal response?


The capitalist system has never produced enough jobs for everyone.Some people are always going to experience poverty because of lack of work. Employed workers, too, may fall into poverty for a number of reasons, including job loss, health problems, economic recession, and bad luck. Research indicates that no country does as little as the United States to reduce poverty. It further indicates that U.S. antipoverty programs are less effective than the antipoverty programs in place in other developed countries.
