"Charity Begins At Home"
In the rich north there is still poverty in some areas despite its large wealth and economic system. In England in the late 80s there was a large amount of unemployment after England's main economy the mines were closed down leaving thousands of people unemployed and it could have led to a large rise in poverty in the country but with the support system of benefits people were able to continue living reasonably comfortably and eventually, in most cases, they were able to get re-training and find new employment. However if something like that happened in a country in the poor south then poverty would be increased greatly as in they do not have the wealth or infrastructure to either give out benefits or provide re-training.
