Question

democracies are not appering very successful in reducing economic inequalities ? analyze the statement

Answer 1

A small number of ultra-rich enjoy a highly disproportionate share of wealth and incomes.

Not only that, their share in the total income of the country has been increasing.

Those at the bottom of the society have very little to depend upon.

Their incomes have been declining. Sometimes they find it difficult to meet their basic needs of life, such as food, clothing, house, education and health.

In actual life, democracies do not appear to be very successful in reducing economic inequalities.

The poor constitute a large proportion of our voters and no party will like to lose their votes.

Yet democratically elected governments do not appear to be as keen to address the question of poverty as you would expect them to.

The situation is much worse in some other countries.

In Bangladesh, more than half of its population lives in poverty. People in several poor countries are now dependent on the rich countries even for food supplies

Answer 2

yes its true to say that because when we elect our leader then they think about their personal benefit ,they do not think about others which leads to economic inequality
