DEVELOPMENT CHALLENGES AND SOLUTIONS

[Blackie@5]

I just noticed that there are lots of developments challenges in our different society that so many needs a solution and I took some time and see how I can be of help to that by doing some research but I haven't come to conclusions cause I believe there's something to be done

THIS IS WHAT I GOT

Eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions
 
It's estimated that approximately 700 million people still live on less than US$1.90 per day, a total of 1.3 billion people are multi-dimensionally poor, including a disproportionate number of women and people with disabilities and 80 percent of humanity lives on less than US$10 per day. Increasingly, middle-income countries account for a large part of this trend.

In development studies, there are two different perspectives such as; human capital development, and infrastructural development. Both are very critical, but the former must be attended to first in development engagements.
However, in the human capital development spectrum, poverty indices have struck the attention of scholars of different ideological persuasions, opinion leaders, and public officials. Several attempts to eradicating it have not received the desire results.
Thus, one solution to the eradication of poverty is an aggressive development of the MIND of ithose within the bracket range of the population of the poor. Attempts should be made to liberate the mind from defeatist cynicism and from superstitious beliefs.

It's not really fair to use $1.90 per day as a standard to judge someone is poor because each country has a different currency, minimum income and living cost. $1.90 per day in first world country is definitely a poor, but for third world country, such amount might be normal for them because they can still live with $1.90 per day.

It cannot be solved by anyone alone. The more hardworking a nation is, the more advanced it is.  No one can make someone rich without their own efforts.  Anyone can achieve success in life through hard work.  It is not possible to achieve success with donations while lying down.  You have to take your own initiative and arrange the work resources for others.  If you can build a good business, you can employ five more people there.

There is no single solution to reduce or eradicate global poverty. And the solution to poverty will also be different in diverse countries. My children told me how poor Syria has become and I read that about 90% of Syrian citizens are living in poverty.  And I told them that the major reason for the poverty of that nations is war. So the solution to the poverty of Syria is the end of the war. So many nations in Africa are rich in mineral resources yet the poorest nations come from the continent.  It has been verified the major reason for poverty in Africa is corruption. Hence,  if you end corruption,  poverty in Africa might reduce to a great extent. Other nations are moving towards poverty because of natural disasters such as drought, flood,  earthquake, and others. Their only solution is to seek means to reduce these natural occurrences.  

As individuals, we have to seek alternative means of income if our earnings are not enough to satisfy our needs. You could also consider learning additional skills that can attract new opportunities to get more money. Reducing your expenses and channeling savings to viable investments will also help in reducing poverty.

What you are saying is undoubtedly very important. But it cannot be solved alone because everyone has to come forward nicely to solve it. We have to find out where the problems are, recharge them, and then take steps to eliminate them. But even though there are many people in society, even if some people think like this, they cannot come forward that way, so it is impossible to move forward with it and some people can do many good things if they want to but they don't. If you do something good by working hard, 10 more people will benefit, you have to come forward in society with such a mentality, and then all the problems will be removed slowly.  And seeing your excellent work, 10 other people will try to think of such good thoughts. If we come forward this way, alll the problems will be solved quickly. Moreover, it is not possible to remove it in any way.

just look at what china is doing, they are an example of a country that rose from adversity to become one of the countries with the largest economy in the world. what they did was to use their natural and human resources seriously and their leaders were able to lead the country to become an independent country.

maybe many people say that china is an example of a communist country led by an iron-fisted leader, but let's look at the other side of how this initially poor country became a developed country and was able to stand on a par with other big countries in the world.

so it all comes back to people and officials in a country. if they are able to unite their hearts, minds and goals to develop their country, they will definitely be able to overcome the structured poverty in that country.

We cannot use the USD as an index to calculate poverty, if you have been to any central Asian nations or countries like Iran you get to know that things are very much affordable if you compare it with USD but rather it should be measured in their own average income in their local currency and take a baseline to define below poverty line index because in some nation if you own a house then $10 per day would be a good income wherein in some developed nation you will hardly get a sandwich or coffee at a decent restaurant barring the likes of McDonalds.

Regardless of whichever currency used to measure we can eradicate poverty by providing basics to have a dignified life like government should ensure everyone has shelter and work towards creating jobs which will help them to lead a dignified life. More welfare related policies should be launched as you cannot resolve poverty just by paying them rather creating a source for their livelihood by creating jobs.

We cannot use the USD as an index to calculate poverty,

i just checked out some data
in the UK, (seen as a developed western country). offers
unemployment social security is at £12.12 a day with minimum wage £10.42.
which is someone on social security has to survive a whole day on 1 hour 9 minutes and 45 seconds of minimum wage

in europe, france social security is €16.19 a day with min wage €11.65
which is someone on social security has to survive a whole day on 1 hour 27 minutes and 3 seconds of minimum wage

yet the cost of living calculations are that working 8 hours for 5 days will pay the house and bills and food for the week
so people on unemployment are below the break even rate of living expense, even in western developed countries

It's probably about time that we accept that there's no way to eradicate poverty. And there's no effort pure enough to really desire its eradication. Even UNDP is a big hypocrite. When I was a development worker, I once dreamed of joining them. The reason is that they have big salaries, stay in hotels, drive around with their expensive cars with blue plates, and just boss around even in disaster areas with their useless multi-pocket vests that come with that huge agency name powerfully printed at the backs.

To me, it's better to stop looking at poverty in the grand scheme of things and start taking care of those in our own backyard.

This is not a solution i can rely on. There is economic hardship and the price of goods and services have increased very much. Using $1.90 per day cannot be possible in this present condition because no services can go below $0.7 unless it is a very poor service. In many countries the money can be a lot to some persons but trust me if you check how much to get just breakfast then talk more about lunch and dinner you will get to understand that the $1.90 you estimated per day can only afford breakfast. That is the main reason why you see most people care about taking breakfast and dinners only. Lunch is rarely taken so as to save cost.

Don't worry OP when we see the right solution it will be obvious. You have done well to think outside the best and come up with something that works for you but sincerely it cannot eradicate poverty.

[Apocollapse]

I ever have a conversation with poor people, surprisingly it's not that they're really unlucky or they didn't have a chance, but they choose it because they want to enjoy easy life without any pressure and they've get subsidy by government.

The solution is trying really hard, do anything you can and always learn, but not many people want to live like that.

Exactly. Getting rid of poverty isn't just about throwing money around. You can't fix it just by handing out cash but you gotta set up a way for people to stand on their own. That means more than just paying them, it's about creating jobs and putting in rules that genuinely help folks live a decent life. And it's super important that the government spends our taxes wisely. Making sure that money goes to social stuff, creating job chances, especially for those struggling financially. If we have policies that push for job opportunities and skill-building, we're giving people the tools to lift themselves up economically and making things more fair for everyone

Poverty eradication can be held or seen in different forms.Poverty entails more than the lack of income and productive resources to ensure sustainable livelihoods.They include hunger and malnutrition,inadequate access to good education and lots more.
 Poverty in this 21st century should be eradicated individually and not otherwise.Even with the information/Education that they have living their desired lifestyle seems difficult for them.The solution is right with us;no one is coming to fix your life for you.
  Once you've found another means of living well,you can obviously connect to whatever it is you want to achieve without having interest on the governments method.

[bluebit25]

Are you aware of development challenges in society and spend time researching to find ways to help? Your interest in solving the problem of poverty and your desire to make a difference is very appreciable. Solving the problem of poverty is always a great challenge, with everyone's attention, efforts and cooperation, we can create a just world for everyone. But really, actions like leaving the road to the sea will be useless if there is no way to act, like some of the ways that I see many people showing help through participating in volunteer activities, donate what we can support, and mobilize everyone to do the same.

You believe that poverty should be solved? That is your big brainwave idea? People have been trying to solve this since the beginning of time and it's hardly an original thought. You couldn't think of a single solution to put forward yourself, that seems an incredibly lazy way to pose the question. Poverty is also vastly different in say America versus the middle of Africa, there is no single solution to this idea on that basis. You could say that legalizing and taxing drugs in America, instead of wasting billions trying to fight "the war on drugs" and putting it into treatment would be more beneficial and safer, as addicts can often come from poorer backgrounds. It would also starve the criminals in the drugs trade and eradicate so much related violence.

UNDP interventions help eradicate poverty, such as by creating decent jobs and livelihoods, providing social security, boosting political participation and awareness and ensuring access to services like water, energy, healthcare,and productive assets.
People’s lives are better when government is efficient and responsive,but it seems the UNDP are not playing thier active roles or taking responsibility.

While we were growing up,we were normally told that the government will and can eradicate the existing poverty and hardship,but that time and now stills seems the same.The  livelihood of people have been enjoined by so many struggles and inconvenience.Like the standard of living presently is even worse compared to before.Yet they keep mentioning "eradication."The getting rid of poverty aim is just the reverse to us.

But regardless on how we define it, government all over the world specially in 3rd world countries are going their best to eradicate it. Unfortunately, it will not be that easy, it might even take centuries to completely curb it out and it's a very complex approach. So I will say that there will be no magic bean for it. Government will really need to developed programs within their country, and sustained it for a long time. The problem is that some form of government changes like every 4-6 years and so the previous government can't sustain what they have started. And so the cycle continues, new government enter, try to solved the problem again with new programs that might or might not effective. And it will only be achieved if everyone will join together, private and government  in addressing poverty through various strategies and policies.

Eradication of poverty in all its forms and dimensions

Even if the daily income of every individual is increased, Poverty will still not be completely eradicated. The challenge is not with how much people earn, but with how they spend and how much they spend. Someone who earns a lot with poor financial discipline will not be able to achieve financial independence.

As much as the daily income needs increment, there also has to be a massive reeducation of the public on financial intelligence and discipline, so that people will be able to manage and plan well with what they earn.

It's probably about time that we accept that there's no way to eradicate poverty.

There is just too many factors riding in on poverty for it to be easy to eradicate. I believe the only way for us to completely eradicate poverty is if we were to live in a society where the government controls all. But then, there will always be corrupt ones that would make it impossible to be fair to everyone.

We should just help as much people as we can but dreaming too big of eradication of poverty should be out of the picture
