All the issues listed above have a negative impact on business but there’s is way in which business can fight them. Let’s again look at notes below which has the impacts and recommended solutions.

INEQUALITY AND POVERTY

Poverty affects consumer spending because poor people do not have the ability to buy goods. If people cannot spend money businesses cannot grow. Current way of thinking and media attention on poverty gives rise to the expectation that businesses should invest in poor communities but that put extra pressure on businesses. 

HIV/AIDS-This decrease leads to a decrease in the productivity of affected employees.Trained and experienced workers die of this disease before they grow old and increase staff turnover in the business. There is a decrease in demand because consumers are getting less. There may be bias in the workplace against workers affected by Hiv/AIDS.
