Poverty is a pretty bad deal. What are your thoughts about poverty and everything related to it? What do you think can be done to help the problem happening in your country and throughout the world as a whole? Bring whatever else you have to the table. |

Lots of things cause poverty. Lack of education. Without proper education one can only attain a basic line of work. Lack of job opportunities. Sometimes there is no work regardless of how well educated you might be. War. War breeds poverty. Businesses are ruined, people are made homeless, agriculture is damaged or destroyed. No affordable housing. How many people will hire you if you are homeless? Yet how can you buy a house when you don't have a job. Catch 22. In my opinion the best solution to poverty is to provide standard education to everyone. But this means that government officials need to stop lining their pockets with gold and invest in some schools. It's an investment that pays off immensely in the long term. |

Pelador's right about the Job Market, and that seems to be the issue in the US now. There's plenty of people who are educated and eager to work in the US, but the job market is in the sh*tter and either: **There's no jobs for them to work. **The job is so bad or ridiculous, that no one in the right mind would want to work it. Or... **They're "overqualified" to work those jobs. There's also plenty of stingy dealings with overtime and benefits that are going on in the US right now. Some of these companies don't want to pay overtime (and some fudge the numbers so that they don't have to), and some actually don't supply benefits, even when they're supposed to because of their workers working over 40 hours consistently. |

Many many things cause this issue, which I experienced first hand as a child, as my mother basically flunked school and my parents had divorced, leaving my mum working two jobs and putting herself through night school. Currently in the UK its a combination of the dreaded catch 22, IE you need experience, but you also need to work to get the experience. That and I find instead of looking for people who may be best for a job, many just pick the people who the like the most, which to me is a bad way to go about it. Adding into that, that many people outright choose not to work as they get benefits that pay for everything, and immigrants coming over to (rightfully so by the way) do the jobs that many UK people deem to be beneath them, leaving them and their families, should they have one, to just live on the bread line. Education is pretty good over here, with ample opportunity to train/re-train whenever you want. As an example, you can totally flunk out of school, an do an "Access course" at college, which basically just adds a year onto any degree, meaning you can get a qualification at the end of it. It still requires some effort, but you get the idea. Its just many people deciding that this method doesn't work and again choosing to do nothing with themselves. Many reasons why its still around, especially in western countries, and it shouldn't at all. For those who can A) survive poverty as a child or B) work through it to better places, it does give you an almighty drive to succeed and do better. |
