SummaryPoverty is a problem which is increasing steadily on a global scale. In North America, urban poverty is growing rapidly. Urban Poverty is a term used to describe people living in urban environments whom lack the means required to provide themselves with the basic necessities needed to live comfortably. There are many factors which contribute to urban poverty such as job availability, low wages, and a high cost of living. However this issue is very complex and very hard to deal with seeing as it affects several groups of people within a society. Urban poverty also influences things such as gang violence, drug dealing and teen pregnancy stemming from the formation of urban ghettos.
