Corporate economics like Walmart, Walgreens, Target, and more, are causing problems that I think add to the problem of poverty. One of the things I noticed are price differences on the same product all around the world. One shirt could cost $20 at Walmart but cost $5 somewhere else. It might not seem to contribute to the problem of poverty, however it does contribute to the poverty of the makers. The maker of that shirt isnʻt the one getting paid for the work he/she did, the seller is. The full value of what that shirt was worth is not getting back to the maker of the shirt, who really deserves the money. I think that’s why labor workers are most times in poverty because their pay doesnʻt meet the work that they actually do. This relates to my issue because one of the main reasons why people go hungry everyday is because they suffer poverty. If we want to work towards a fair and equal future, we need to first find a way to fully reward people for the work they do.
