Poverty in Singapore

Poverty in Singapore

We might not be able to witness poverty in Singapore. However, they do exist. Most of the people who live in poverty consist of mainly the elderly and foreign workers.

Elderly : Due to the fact that many children think of their parents as a burden, most of them are abandoned and have to depend on themselves to make a living and survive. However, not all of them are skilled enough to get a job in society. Thus, they become poor and hardly have enough money to get daily necessities due to the constant increase in prices.

Foreign workers : They come to Singapore  and work due to the poverty in their homeland. With the pay, they will be able to send money back home and support their family finances. However, their living conditions in Singapore remain poor. Their clothes are dirty and tattered, showing their poverty.
