The lives lived in Burundi are progressing in a way that illuminates the income inequality in the world. Freight transportation, carried out by moving about 50 km overhead for a monthly gain of 15 dollars, bends the back of humanity. In Burundi, the poorest country in the world, poor people are trying to make a living by carrying loads of kilometers on their backs for $15 a month. These long walks reach a distance of 50 km. Sometimes a city is changed. With a population of 12 million, Burundi is considered one of the examples that reflect the income inequality in the world. A similar situation is taking place in Ethiopia, another African country. In the country, coffee workers work in the fields for 1 dollar a day. In the country, which is the fifth largest coffee producer in the world, approximately 15 million people are trying to make a living with the money they earn in this sector.
THEY DESCEND THE MINE FOR $1
Uneven earnings in the world are reflected in children as well as adults. Child workers employed for giant global brands, especially in Africa, shed light on the unfair distribution of income. Children working in mines for $1 a day in the Central African country of the Democratic Republic of Congo reveal the inequality in monetary and welfare balance. About 40,000 children work in the mines in the south of the Congo. These kids have to work in the mines, sometimes up to 24 hours a day, to earn $1 or $2 a day. It is noted that some children are only 7 years old.
