ECONOMIC PROBLEMS AND POOR OF AFRICA Growth in Africa is not enough for its population to grow, which is leading to poverty and hunger in Africa. Today, Africa is one of the main countries with poverty and economic problems. Half of Africans live below the poverty line, leading to low human development in Africa. The main cause of poverty in Africa is a problem of the economic system and environmental factors. Due to poverty, people in Africa remain hungry because they do not have enough money to buy food and their basic needs. Some African countries have a lower poverty rate than others due to the good governance and economic system of those countries. Most Africans face challenges in surviving and keeping their families healthy. Education is another factor which is the main cause of this poverty and many other problems. The lack of education in Africa is due to the lack of schools and educational facilities. The school enrollment rate is also much lower in Africa which makes people illiterate and thus live their lives below the poverty line as they are unable to earn a sophisticated income for them and their family. 33 million children of school age do not go to school and among these the highest share is represented by girls.

Fewer health workers, poverty, transportation problems all lead to fewer health facilities resulting in increased mortality rates in Africa. Therefore, all these problems such as poverty, education, transportation, health facilities are creating problems for the development and life of African populations. healthy life. It is also affecting the economy of the country and therefore the government and many other organizations should take measures to take care of all these issues for better development of Africa.
