Question

Which answer is NOT a factor that contributed to poverty in Latin America?

unstable governments
spending large amounts on the military
spending large amounts on human services
population growth that exceeds a country’s food resources

Answer 1

"Spending large amounts on human services" is NOT a factor that contributed to poverty in Latin America.

Unstable governments, high military spending, and population growth that outstrips food resources all tend to worsen poverty, whereas investing in human services (education, healthcare, social programs) generally helps reduce it.
