We can totally eradicate poverty if we TRULY want to.

[jojowar]

Through the help of the government and its people can poverty totally eradicate. By giving the poor people free education and livelihood projects and the people who received those benefits will study hard, to have a good job in the future and to become successful.

Too true! Many impoverish people in the community are actually the most hard working people in that communit. All they lack is the opportunity to earn more that what they have. Maybe it is because of lack of education or seed money but the fact of the matter is they don't need hand outs, they need opportunities.

Well, life generally is not about hard work, and it is all about being smart. Absolutely, for a country that is ridden with poverty, it is usual to always notice there is always a problem from the leadership, the level of corruption in such country and the unavailability of things that are necessary for the citizens to thrive and succeed and in such kind of settlement, it is always hard to say eradicating poverty would be easy unless a lot of changes are made most especially with such leadership.

Poverty is present everywhere. You can meet people living under the bridge even in New-York, and they are not necessarily unlucky with their whole lives. Corruption is also omnipresent, and it looks like you can't eradicate poverty (or alleviate it substantially) with the help of those who facilitated it in the first place ("the leadership"). The implication is that we should first eradicate corruption, but this is even less possible than eradicating poverty, even though it is something less vague and more concrete.

IIRC that's the exact course of action that Singapore took, which eventually led this country to become ranked with the 3rd highest GDP per capita.

Thats right. without interference and government assistance. I think it is impossible to eliminate poverty in the world because you know what one individual maybe not have the power to improve themselves? such as not having knowledge and high education so they cannot work and improve their economy. so that government policies is indispensable

Even without the help of crypto currency we can always help eradicate poverty by simply redirecting wealth. For one thing the 1% of the 1% are values at billions of dollars and we are left with the reat to split with. This gross hoarding of resources really takes a toll at the resources available yo everyone else.

Throughout human history, there have been rich people and poor people , and I think even when the number of jobs increases , there will still be a lot of poor people.

Without the government involved, which might be something a little bit hard to achieve I must say. Sure, a lot of people may find a way to do well for themselves, wealth may be distributed to certain levels, but at the same time, we also have to consider that to eradicate poverty, a lot would have to be done with the economy, a lot will have to be done with corruption in most places, and with these kind of things going on, a government that cares less about its own people will always do things to jeopardize things and want to by all means segregate the rich from the poor while having few rich ones and more poor ones. The government has a huge part to play in poverty eradication as far as I am concerned.

It would be very nice to see if there will be equality in all the resources and money in the world. But i think, the poor and wealthy is just balancing the world. If all people are wealthy or have enough money to have to meet their everyday finances, who will do the work that will produce the basic necessity? Or who will plow our farm, or catch the fish?. Also, giving alms to the beggars in the street is not adviseable because they will just continue  begging because they knew they will given again.

[zoeylee]

In my opinion, we can totally eradicate poverty if people are educated and skillful. They can find job that suit on their educational background and skills. Also, the country they belong could provide jobs to everyone.

[Captain Sneeze]

Poverty can be eradicated by employment. I am just disappointed when an university graduate they prefer to work for someone else in a company rather than making a small job that can least help someone who has less economy.

Allowances provided by the government or from the surrounding community will not give him a comfortable life, they won't be able to manage where the money will end. So as, even though we help them by just giving free money, it will make it useless.

Just two way to give the lives of poor people be better, one gives him a job and the second makes an education so that he can manage the money he has, for example he can innovate to make a job with the expertise they have, surely with strict supervision.

In my very own opinion on how we will eradicate or stop the poverty, we must all have the proper education so that we will be able to find a job and lessen the unemployment of the people, due to having a proper education we can stop or destroy the poverty that was occuring right now.

Sometimes we cannot blame ourselves why we only have this kind of status in life because our family has only this kind of capacity, but I am hoping that we can all improve ourselves to change our live.

No one in any country has been able to completely eradicate poverty. The eradication of poverty was also one of the main slogans of the socialist countries. We see what came of it. In fact, the collapse of the socialist system. It is unlikely that anyone will succeed in the near future. It should also be borne in mind that some people themselves tend to be in poverty and, in this way, they believe they gain complete freedom. This is their philosophy of life.

[nostrings]

We have more than enough resources to spread around the world and totally eliminate poverty.  The problem is there are a lot of billionaires that are just too selfish to share anything.

[ganjasmokingg]

So many people are interested in amassing wealth without giving a dime to the less privilege around them, yet they will still be among the first to criticize the government in its failure to eradicate hunger and poverty in the country. You should also know that the duty of eradicating poverty must not be left to the government alone. You must also contribute your quota.
 
If you have worked to be wealthy or lucky to be one, you should see it as a social responsibility to help the less privileged people in the society. If I may ask, do you feel comfortable driving past several beggars on the street when you have billions of money in your account that you or your entire family may not be able to exhaust in the next 100 years?
 
Think about this seriously. With the so much money in the world, poverty can greatly be reduced if not totally eradicated.
 
All that is necessary is the distribution of this wealth.

There is enough to go round.

Note:
You must not necessarily give physical cash or money directly in order to help the poor or the less privileged. You can set up an empowerment scheme where they could be empowered or work to earn a living for themselves. It is like teaching them how to fish instead of offering them the fish directly to eat. I guess it is best that way.

I think the best way to eliminate poverty is to help them with their knowledge or support them. Because only giving them money will only help them a day or a few days if we help them a job they will live a few more years. This is just my personal opinion

[electronicash]

have you seen youtube videos where people pretend to be homeless yet int he end of the day they actually drive a car and live in an apartment? you can imagine how much of them will pretend to be when some billionaires roaming to give them something.

philippines is where i'm form, this country has no winter, the plants grow all year. its surrounded with waters that anyone can fish. everyone here should be able to get food for themselves but with corrupt government we all lose opportunity. its the government that should be fixing themselves first before it can serve its people.

In singapore that is possible because of the good political leaders and very few population rates so they made such a huge growth in very short term but even in Singapore there will be poor people/In country like China or USA where population is very high and much parts were corrupted in government side so even if we want to make measures to avoid the poor it will not be completely possible.

As what Gabali126 said, we should teach the poor on how to fish instead of giving them the fish that we caught. The main point of it is that they will only live for a day because you just gave them a fish but if you teach them how to fish they will live for a long time and not just one day.
So, education is the most important key for a success of a person and their dedication on how to learn.

[hahay]

Beggars on the streets do not guarantee that they are poor people, because there are many news circulating that reveal that if beggars are not 100% poor, to empower street children or street people it has indeed been implemented by the government in my country which eventually they will be fostered to have expertise specifically that will make it creative by having a job. If it is easy to channel funds to the poor, you can directly visit their home or residence directly, so that the donation fund is guaranteed to be 100% right and far from corruption.

[Ucy]

Ofcourse we can. Current poverty is quite a special case.
 I believe an automated poverty control system built on decentralized platform  and funded by users could reduce it (and dependency on governments/people) to its barest minimum. I prefer this method for reasons I don't want to go into.

The system should be able to manage users money algorithmically... Poverty sometimes is caused by people's poor management of money.

There should be a way to guarantee sustainable jobs, sustainable salary and sustainable unemployment/underemployment benefits. I think this stuff would be best handled on automated,  decentralized and self-sustaining system.

I do   believe  that  we can eradicate poverty  with  the  help of the  government that  they should educate poor  people  by teaching  them  financial  education  how to save  and how to   Invest   and that's  the key  to escape  poverty.

Yes.It would help also.Maybe the government can offer livelihood projects to the poor and jobless people so they can have their own source of income to support their family needs.There are also elite people who can offer some opportunity jobs for the poor ones so that poverty will be reduced and hungry mouths will be already feed.
