Answer 1

A Economic unfairness

Answer 2

Answer:

Like other South American nations, Colombia faces a struggle against economic unfairness.

Explanation:

Economic unfairness refers to the unequal distribution of income and wealth in the world or in society between individuals or groups.

In South America, especially in countries like Colombia or Brazil, there is a lot of inequality between the upper classes and the working class. In fact, in an equal income ranking, these countries are ranked 147 and 148 out of a total of 159 nations. This clearly shows that there is a poor distribution of the wealth generated in those countries, which generates poverty and, as a consequence of this, crime and drug trafficking.

If some sections of the population have significantly lower incomes than others, then there is relative poverty. The poverty line is generally considered to be an income level of 60% of the median income of the population, while the absence of basic necessities such as nutritious food, adequate housing, clothing and health care is absolute poverty.
