Detailed Solution

In Bangladesh, half of the population lives in poverty.
Economic inequality in democratic countries becomes high if the governments chosen by the people are not very efficient. In the case of Bangladesh and many other South Asian and African democratic countries, governments are often involved in corrupt hands and other malpractices to win the elections. Their focus is mostly never on the nation's development but merely on gaining power. Most often, these countries have to depend on foreign aid for even their basic needs of survival, as seen in Sri Lanka in recent times. Hence, the people in a democracy must choose their leaders wisely so that things work out better for them and that economic inequality and poverty are reduced.
