Poverty in Egypt More than 22 million Egyptians live in poverty.  Tourism revenue, which was a big part of commerce, has rapidly decreased over the recent years and the economy of Egypt has suffered a direct hit. The presidents administration has cut the aid that many of the people from  Egypt depend on for survival. It seems that the fact that the poverty rate nearly doubled since 2000 has not caused government officials to react. There is no plan in action to stimulate change and lowering this statistic is clearly not a priority. The poverty rate is much higher than that of the US and it is growing opposed to declining as the US poverty rate has done.  Works Cited Bower, E.

Poverty in the Bahamas  The poverty rate in the Bahamas currently sits at  12.5 percent.  The Bahamas has the resources, tools and labor force to reduce the poverty rate, but lacks the vision and ambition to do so .  A large part of people receive financial aid from the Bahamian government . Although multiple leaders in the Bahamas are at odds about how to improve the economy, all agree that something must be done, soon.  P overty and unemployment rates are constantly rising. The citizens and leaders of the Bahamas must find a better way to come together to improve these conditions .  The poverty rate in the Bahamas is much higher than that of the United States. Both countries are making advances to address the issue of poverty and unemployment, but it seems that the Bahamian government has not progresses as much as the US. References Robinson, Carrie.
