Why are majority of people really poor?

[DYOR+BTC]

In fact, poverty is a mix of thinking, sometimes due to structural barriers and sometimes due to running away from personal challenges. It is not possible to explain it with one or two reasons.. Lack of education &  unemployment are important causes of poverty. Health issues are also very important, people who are sick or disabled are unable to work &  spend all their money on medical care.

But it is impossible to ignore that systems, such as fake names in government jobs, corruption &  regional disparities, play a big role. So I would say that your list is fairly accurate. But I would say that to solve the real problem, we need to focus on two things, first, improving systems, such as employment, education, &  healthcare, and second, helping individuals, such as skills, choices &  financial management

I disagree on that.  Lack of education  is never the root cause of poverty, every year over 600,000 plus students graduates from various universities in and outside the country with different skills and knowledge but never finds a place to utilize his useful knowledge all because the government never considered job creation a necessity instead they recognize stealing and converting public funds to there personal properties.
On that note, I think bad government is the primary factor responsible for poverty and not lack of quality education

Do you know that what contribute very well for poverty and the richness is mindset, whenever you don't have a good mindset to yourself you will end up of being distract from what ever things you are doing, so I believe that people who is poor what contribute to their poverty is lack of opportunity and they also lack of strategizing well to develop themselves without any support, before people use a hard work to escape from poverty and immediately then realize what they want then abandon the hard work and establish a business that will lesser the hard work they are doing in order to get a daily payment, so what did I mean is that when you plan for yourself you will escape poverty but when you don't plan for yourself you'll be looking for someone to uplift you and it is not everybody the thing favoured

That is very much a factor to consider, the state of governance to be one of the major reasons but, at the top of that, we must understand that the world does exists in a delicate balance where, those at the bottom form the bases for the thriving economy as, the little Pennie’s generated at the base is what contributes to steepness of the economy.

Majority were never expected to be rich, they just wouldn’t be able to archive that though, good government can create a fairly stable living for its citizens.

UNEMPLOYMENT the rate at which majority of people are unemployed in this country are so alarming, basically there are jobs everywhere but greedy people who has the opportunity are not making this job opportunities available for people, rather they give it to their people who are not really qualified for the job.

True, but yet so many graduates are not disabled or handicapped, they have all their body parts are complete, but they keep not wanting to learn a skill. With a skill like digital skill, you will no longer be unemployed, jobs are basically everywhere for digital skilled personnel to work. All you have to do is to take out your time to learn the skill if if it is 5 months of 6 months of your life, just reserve it out and you will later thank yourself.

I asked copilot for the definition of poor. One of the answers was - In forensic annotation, poverty might represent:
- A swept address with no transaction history
- A ghost name erased from payroll or ledger
- A symbolic state of vulnerability, humility, or systemic exclusion

Good times. I agree. All these variables lead to greater numbers of poverty. Truly one is to blame in some of that. I'm grateful that in America there's help available. I have more to offer and I'm feeling that spark again this time I'll get it right.  I'm also grateful for the Bitcoin Community. If it wasn't for you guys and gals we'd all be poor up in here. Then we'd be here asking. Dang. Why are there so many rich people? The biggest thank you! By choice or not those in poverty deserve respect someone to hear them out and a helping hand can go a long way. At the same time what you guys have done with Bitcoin has brought hope to so much if not all of the World. A beacon of light. I would imagine for some when they hear about Bitcoin and what it does say so you're saying there's a chance. God Bless Bitcoin. Happy Holiday Season Fam!

Lack of education is not the root cause of poverty but it is part of a chain of causes. Because the poor often have low education, limited opportunities and limited thinking, they continue to live in poverty. And this vicious cycle repeats itself, leaving them unable to escape poverty.

And you are right, the root cause of poverty in a country is the government. Because if they really care about the people and the country. They will seek to improve by creating a good educational environment, encouraging and supporting people to have easy access to education. Then create a rich job market...If they can do that, the country's poverty will disappear.

Do you know that what contribute very well for poverty and the richness is mindset, whenever you don't have a good mindset to yourself you will end up of being distract from what ever things you are doing, so I believe that people who is poor what contribute to their poverty is lack of opportunity and they also lack of strategizing well to develop themselves without any support, before people use a hard work to escape from poverty and immediately then realize what they want then abandon the hard work and establish a business that will lesser the hard work they are doing in order to get a daily payment, so what did I mean is that when you plan for yourself you will escape poverty but when you don't plan for yourself you'll be looking for someone to uplift you and it is not everybody the thing favoured

Almost all people are like that but it is difficult for them to get out of poverty because of limited relationships due to being born into a poor family, so they need to work harder to get out of poverty, It is not impossible but in this world we can see that in terms of percentage, not many people get out of poverty and that is proof of how difficult it is to change fate.

[Curious T]

For underdeveloped countries where the majority of the people are poor, we can blame it on the government. There is no reason why countries with so many resources should have an over 40 per cent poverty rate. If the government actually wanted to fight poverty, it would have, but they don't care.
We can talk about the ignorance and laziness of the people all day, but at the end of the day, the government has to make the country a place where creating wealth is not extremely difficult.

If a Person diligently uses his mental capacity in his work, he lives a peaceful and successful life. when u make positive decisions with planning in your lives, you don't face difficulties. human should remain courageous in difficult situations and find a way out of his difficult times through planning. The reason a why poor person is poor is not only lack of money but also lack of proper planning and seizing good opportunities. if we work hard in anywork, we learn something from it. Its more useful for us to focus on ourselves even to trust in another person. Because with a strong determination, u always achieves something. Which is means of moving forward in his life.

Many people are not rich because they have no knowledge and they took no study from that school and they learned nothing from the books and they only learned from the words of mouth . People are doing effort for the money but they didn't learn a lesson of money and how to use this money to make more money but rich people have knowledge how to invest other people money to make double of them and give them interest of that And that is the reason we are watching rich people in low quatity . Rich people are taking debt for  making wealth and the want to invest in business which has full potential to be successful in the market. Poor people are also taking debt to buy a bike , car , mobile or for making their own house but rich people have different mindset .

I am very much 100% agree to this. Lack of education will not going to be a problem nor one of the main reason that can cause poverty. Because even a 3rd world country can generate thousands of graduates every year. However, it's always been the quality of education that can be a great contributor for these graduates to utilize and maximize their full potential. Plus, the corrupt and greedy government adds to that burden by not generating enough opportunities for the fresh graduates, and not giving enough compensations for the educators, and not enough tools, facilities, etc for the students to get the highest quality of education possible.
If any of you have been following the current corruption issues here in PH, you'll gonna be shaking your head as the government allocated budget to finish 1700 classrooms that should have already been built and used as we speak, but guess how many were built currently? 22!
Imagine a class that consists of 40-50 students per classroom. That, has always been the ratio in the public schools. Are we able to get the quality of education in this kind of situation?

[~speedx~]

Here I can personally say a few points that the first reason for the existence of poor people in a country is corruption and exploitation by rich countries. For example, if we talk about African countries, despite having huge natural resources, they are among the weakest countries and at the same time, most of the people among them are living at the lowest poverty line. If we look at their reasons here, the first reason will be that they and their leaders are corrupt and at the same time exploited by the developed countries of the world. This is not changing their fate, they are living at the lowest poverty line.

It all begins in the mind poor people and rich people can live in the same world see the same things but think completely differently poor people often focus on spending while rich people focus on multiplying what they already have that’s why mindset is everything it determines how you see money how you use it and how you create more of it. Education also plays a big role not just school education but financial education understanding how money works how to make it work for you instead of just working for it many people never learn this they just repeat what they see around them spending what they earn without thinking of investment or long term growth.

Rich people on the other hand are willing to take calculated risks they borrow money to invest in something that will generate more income while poor people borrow to satisfy their wants or buy things that lose value the difference is in purpose and planning.

Most people are poor due to deep, interconnected issues like systemic inequality, lack of access to essentials (education, healthcare, clean water), poor governance/corruption, conflict, and economic barriers (low wages, lack of investment), trapping individuals in cycles where limited opportunities prevent escape, creating persistent poverty for generations. Factors like discrimination, climate change, and weak infrastructure further exacerbate these problems globally. Lack of social media and meeting new people opportunities and support thank you.

That may be a very common explanation, but what actually causes poverty is a lack of will to change and transform one's life, even though they know it's necessary. Laziness is one of the main causes. Laziness to think and to be willing to change. Sometimes, being forced or compelled is the only way, even though one wants to be the same as usual and most likely doesn't want to be forced. Breaking out of this cycle isn't easy; it takes effort and perseverance to succeed. If I get halfway there, I think I'll end up stuck in place.

You see the things you have made mentioned, one can contribute to the rest of the numbers. There is nothing on earth that contribute to increase in poverty like poor governance. It'd when there is poor governance people don't have good health facilities, it result to poor education and increased in corruption, people are going to be stealing wealth and be distributing it within the cycle, there by enriching the people that are already rich while the poor remain poor.

Without proper governance, there is going to be bad road, there is going to be high criminality because the poor will be oppress and are going to do everything to survive and when I say survive they are going to do everything possible to survive. Government are responsible for how poverty increase in a country, look at united state of america, almost everyone even from other countries want to have a better life in that country, it's due to the fact their government has done well to do what is necessary.

[doffiaicial]

 Majority of people are poor because the system around them makes it almost impossible to build wealth. When salaries don’t move but prices keep jumping, real income dies. Most people want to start small businesses but banks won’t give them without collateral. Even skilled workers stay stuck because jobs are scarce, and the few available pay below living standards. In many places, like Nigeria, currency depreciation alone wipes out years of savings.

 So i would say it’s not really hundred percent(100%) something about laziness rather  it’s from unpleasant factors such as inflation, low wages, weak institutions, and zero access to capital that keep the majority trapped.

A big problem for the increase in unemployment rate is that they do not put much effort into developing their skills. There are some people who have formal education but they do not want to see themselves as hardworking in any way. They just want to be comfortable. They look for the kind of work where they do not have to work hard. There is no shortage of work for the youth in the digital age. If they can acquire some skills by applying their knowledge, then they can find their job in a short time.

I agree with you that it is more important to have your own efforts. People can show you the way, but if you do not make the effort to change your position through that path, then you will never be successful, no matter how much guidance you are given, if you do not continue to work hard on your own, then you will fail in all areas. Nothing great can ever be achieved through comfort, to achieve anything you have to be hardworking, and stick to it, you cannot stop if you fail. Failure is everywhere, but even through these failures, only those who can continue to work hard and maintain confidence in themselves can succeed.

Then create a rich job market...If they can do that, the country's poverty will disappear.

Do you know that in some countries the government deliberately keeps the people in poverty because the poorer the masses the more easier it will be for them to win elections, that is why the government are never going to do things that will end poverty in the country. I see it as a deliberate effort from the part of the government to keep the people in poverty. You know the government control the system and it becomes very difficult to defeat the system when the system is just designed to fight you and keep you in abject poverty. This is just the main reason why majority of the people will remain poor till the end of time.
