Huge numbers of people in today’s industrial societies live in … poverty. However, this does not simply mean that these people have less … than others. The consequences of poverty are not only financial difficulties that it brings. Poverty affects people’s lives in many ways.
Health, for example, is affected by poverty.

Mental illness, especially … , is also more common among the poor. Suicide rates are highest for young men who are living in relative poverty.
The behaviour or lifestyle of families is also … for the poor. For example, girls from poor families are more likely … when they are teenagers. … who bring up children on their own are more common among the poor and … rates are higher among low-income rates.

Translate the sentences from Russian into English:
Бедность существует как в развивающихся странах, так и в промышленных странах. Бедность это глобальная проблема.
В современном мире более трех миллиардов человек живут в бедности, а один миллиард людей живет в чрезвычайной бедности.
Относительная бедность существует большей частью в промышленных обществах и связана с разницей между богатыми и бедными.
Причиной бедности страны также может быть недостаток природных ресурсов.
Бедные люди не посылают детей в школу, потому что им нужен любой доход, который их дети могут заработать.
Согласно тексту, страны оказываются в ловушке бедности, потому что у них нет денег для инвестиций.
Когда мы говорим об абсолютной бедности, мы имеем в виду людей, которые живут ниже черты бедности.
Люди с низким доходом тратят все деньги на предметы первой необходимости. Они не могут копить деньги.
