Distribution of income and poverty in the Republic of Croatia : Distribution of income and poverty in the Republic of Croatia

Siromaštvo je izuzetno veliki i najčešći problem u svijetu. Pojam siromaštva se veže uz glad, neimaštinu i loše životne uvjete, ali i uz nemogućnost obrazovanja, zdravstva, napretka u tehnologiji i slično.

The Republic of Croatia is cooperating with the European Union in reducing poverty, but this is a large and complex problem that is not easy to solve and unfortunately there will always be poverty, but they are trying to reduce the poverty rate. The problem of unproportional distribution of income leads to jeopardizing economic growth. The goal of every state is to equalize the distribution of income as much as possible, and to reduce its difference because inequality will always exist.
