Extreme poverty and hunger and the principle factors hindering the development of a country. There are lots of consequences which emerge from these problems (most of the time interconnected) such as fragile health and precarious living conditions.


These consequences contribute to a reduction in income and economical productivity, which in turn, increases poverty and hunger. A country’s development is measured, taking into account the well being of its population, so if the population lives in precarious conditions, the development level won’t be high.
