I don't think anyone dies of hunger in the developed world, even the US. No evictions in many EU countries either, even if you don't have a job at all you get unemployment that is high enough for a reasonable apartment.

I can only speak about the US, but sadly, the unhoused die of hunger, preventable disease, and exposure all the time here. And unemployment does not cover a 1 bedroom apartment in major cities, nor does it qualify you for the outrageous requirements of most leases. You may be right about the status of the poor in the EU though.
