Living Below The Poverty Line In America And Ethiopia

Abstract: 3 pages in length. Living below the poverty line anywhere around the world is an existence fraught with constant struggle just to afford the basic necessities of survival; however, to endure sub-poverty life in the United States is a far cry from trying to do the same in third world countries like Ethiopia. One glaring difference between the two is America's governmental programs such as WIC (Women, Infants and Children), welfare and economic housing supplementation compared with the bureaucratic red tape that often prevents Ethiopians from receiving airlifted emergency rations let alone the benefits of governmental programs. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
