What
are the factors of the increase or decrease of poverty ? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
What
measures have been undertaken to alleviate poverty ? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of
the factors of the increase of poverty is the decrease of city
economy. |
|
|
The
increase of unemployment results in enlarging the number of people
in |
|
|
the
supported disadvantaged groups. The new regulations for social
support |
|
|
determine
the family as the main unit for social support as well as |
|
|
|
people,
living alone or with other families. |
