Algeria's Problems with Human Rights

Algeria Poverty


Citizen's house

The country's declining economic conditions since the 1980s, brought about by falling oil prices and years of inefficient state control, have had serious implications for the living standards of Algerians.
High unemployment and inflation rates since the 1980s have led to a sharp increase in the incidence of poverty in the country.

However there is a social class that is controling most of the country's wealth who is enjoying an elevated standard of living.








As we see, Algeria is not being fair with its population.
As the article 25 from de UDHR says that everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family... they are not respecting this. There are people who are living below the standart conditions and this is not fair.
This is a big problem that Algeria has.
