Topic: Is the government can really make a way to end poverty or it depends on us? - page 3. (Read 1803 times)

Many of the protesters in my country blame the government. It's visible that there's a lack of support from the government but you don't move at all times together with them. While their policies and help really helps to shortcut matters but as a person who sees the poverty line getting tougher these days and came from not so fortunate family, it is really should be you that must go up. Lucky the people that are being helped by the government but many of them wastes that opportunity like being a college full scholar but they're not finishing it. The problem at most times is on the people and the government why they end up in a bad situation. No need to blame anyone or the government, although there's an argument that we shouldn't tolerate and normalize the shortcomings of the government. Just like us, they're not perfect and the initiative should start from us because no one is there to help us, keep that mindset and stand and do what you think is gonna change your life forever.

I literally don't think government can end poverty alone, we need to be their helping hands too. But, it completely depends upon the intentions of the government whether it is interested in doing good work for the society or are there just to fill their own pockets. They can't create jobs out of thin air, we must also do something so that we can also create opportunities for others and not just make money alone, because that's how a country will prosper and grow. A government can rule the country, but a citizen can make/break a country.

If the country is developed country,they will have enough many to introduce good schemes to their people.In addition the developed country people had an good environment to manage their expenses and earn more then the needed money.If the developing country try to introduce the schemes for their people,surely they won’t have enough money for it.The developing country government will get loan from the international funding agencies or from the world bank.This was cause for the less eradication of the poverty from the people.

We cannot say that one entity will perform better in order to end poverty because  government reduce unemployment and should work better in order to minimize the risk of diseases as if people will healthy they will work more hard in order to fulfil their jobs.

Same case it with citizens of a country that they should work hard physically to make the country a developed one, they should not leave their online jobs but they should also concentrate on finding job opportunity through which they will help in the economy of a country.

Government cannot keep check on everyone therefore its our responsibility to not continue such job which has adverse impact on the economy of a country and which also badly impacts other citizens.

Both sides have their own responsibilities. The government needs to create more jobs for youth and build up a business-friendly environment so that new businesses and startups can grow. A competitive market can bring more job opportunities and ideas, which can solve the unemployment problem in a country. We need to train ourselves to take advantage of these opportunities so that we can be financially stable.

the role of government in ending poverty in a country is the one that has the strongest influence after that, then we ourselves ^{(just look at the countries with the highest incomes in the world, they have competent governments and well-targeted policies)}.  the prices of basic necessities are created because of politics, the price of oil is also created because politics and health and education costs are also created because of politics, essentially everything related to the economy in a country is created because of politics.  but, we must not completely depend on the government for our fate, we must also work hard to create our own opportunities and future.

Here's a little clarification. Are you sure that these people are poor, let's say, as a result of the wrong actions of the government?
The thing is that I once communicated with a wonderful foundation in the USA, which feeds, shoes, clothes and helps with medicines for the homeless. And the poor are really a huge segment of society. BUT !
I asked - you have so many "hands", can't you place an order for the most rudimentary work for them with American companies? For companies it's cheap labor, unskilled but for some jobs it's good enough. For the "poor" - it is a job, an opportunity to realize themselves, and even possibly change their lives. Do you know what the answer was? "They won't work, they are satisfied with everything, it's their way of life". Don't forget about state benefits for the unemployed....

The government to create jobs isn't the solution for the economical crisis. The money they will use to pay employees' wages come from another citizens. The more employees the government has, the higher are going to be the taxes for everyone to pay. It's better that the government decreases its costs maximum as possible, so they can keep taxes low for citizens to pay.

The government can't be fully blamed for the crisis, because there are external factors in this case, which is the war between Ukraine and Russia, but they can be partially blamed for not sharing the burden with their people. Since life is expensive for everyone, governments should be the first to rule by the example, decreasing wages from politicians and government's members.

If the government has nothing to offer, but only takes something from the citizens, who exactly has to regulate situations like war? And what do you mean by "properly" in the context of war, Russia started against Ukraine?

The task of the government is not to get rid of poverty, but to create conditions in which people can earn a living. Of course, the fact that someone is poor is influenced by many factors, such as tthe state of the country's economy, origin, state of health, personal skills, but also the fact that some people simply do nothing to change their lives for the better is of no less importance. Many of them do not take advantage of the opportunities offered to them and are satisfied with the situation in which they are.

I highly agree that one improvement only relies on his own self.  The government can only offer opportunity and the person is the one who must take advantage of this opportunity to elevate his level of living.  Aside from that, an individual should adopt and learn to adapt to whatever changes on his environment is.  If he fails to adopt, he will be left behind, and if he fails to adapt he won't survive.  Thus to get away from poverty requires smart and critical thinking, hard work, patience and perseverance.  So each individual having these kinds of traits can help the government to eliminate or minimize poverty.  It is a matter of cooperative actions between the government and its citizens.

This must exist in the consciousness of each individual who wants change in the problem of poverty, because in general everyone must be aware that the government only provides general protection for all the people it leads. Meanwhile, the people must also be aware that every very detailed change will occur through the results of their own efforts consistently enough to be able to overcome the problem of poverty. At least to himself and the people around him.

The government have the right to help the citizens and end poverty but due to the constitution, it will be very hard for the government to put an end to poverty. We ourselves, we need to try to make good investment that will pave way for us I'm the future.

The government are not interested to help anybody to become self sufficient and live a better lifestyle. There are so many things that cam lead to poverty which include war especially like the one of Ukraine and Russia, if things are not being regulated properly, it will be difficult for the people to overcome poverty and live a good lifestyle. The government has nothing to offer to us than to take the little we have.

Even unemployment cannot be the only solution to unemployment; otherwise, how would the government be able to pay the entire youth labor force given the revenue it is currently generating? And because everything is becoming more technological in the century we are presently living in and human presence is becoming less and less necessary, technology is consuming the globe. Since investors believe they would really spend less if they go mechanical, I'm still trying to figure out how they will balance this.
Due to inflation and other factors that impact the value of money, getting a job after graduating does not necessarily address the issue. There ought to be additional approaches to fighting poverty at its point of origin. As for me as a graduate you don't even need to wait for the government just put your self to better use.



The government has misplaced its priorities, thus it would be really beneficial if they could reduce the cost of goods. The administration of my region just shared a palliative, but to me, this is not a solution because prices are severely rising and it is getting harder for people to make ends meet. If the government can work with the private sector, even if it isn't operating at full capacity, it will at least be complementing other sectors. However, they will be forced to lower the price of goods because all the politicians care about is money and corruption. which have finally destroyed a Country's economy.  And its getting worse day by day.

I think they want to work like other normal people but they don't have the opportunity to work with a decent wage according to their work, so generally they become farmers to survive, because government aid is not distributed every month and government aid is only enough for consumption for around 2 month. So in my opinion, in every environment there will still be poor people, but we must be aware that we have an obligation to give some of our wealth to the poor, helping other people will not make us poor but will make our chances of getting a fortune easier.

We can help the government eradicate poverty by offering jobs to them, we can place them in jobs that require labor such as moving goods, unloading heavy goods, or whatever other work suits their skills, this effort will help the economy improve to reduce poverty. .

I agree with you. Both the people and the government have their own responsibilities to fulfill if we want to see changes in the issue of poverty. The government holds a responsibility to protect and properly govern the people and the people, on the other hand, needs to make sure that they are also utilizing the opportunities given to them as the government cannot individually look after their people.

The government owes no one, they are not the ones to set your lives right, the funny thing is even if a president of a country decide to change the lives of his people, there will always be people who will fail to grow from the help the get from the government, because some problems lives inside people, not the government, if the government release a large amount if money for people to do something with, the government won't be the one to help you monitor your investment, many people don't know what to do when it comes to making decisions, they lack financial knowledge, is the government the one responsible for this too?

People are blaming the government for nothing, the only thing I will ever expect from the government is security and good roads, and maybe stable electricity in the country too, but when it comes to people turning their lives around, that's not on the government's neck, it's left for you to stand up for yourself and do something, learn a skill maybe and turn your own life around.

Also the truth about the government is they don't have poor people in mind, they want you to remain the same, so that they can be in control over you, do the harder jobs for them and get paid, if you look at the whole picture carefully, the government never had the best interest of the people in mind.

They are everywhere and even in the rich countries, there will always be those people that are living in poverty. Even if there's a help from the government if they don't wanna help themselves. That's why those people that have been doing nothing and are all depending to the help of their government, coming from cash incentives monthly, food stamps and every help that's coming from the government. They don't wanna work and they're all good with their situation, we can't blame them for being like that but we're not like them, we've got a lot of things to do and dreams and goals trying to reach with all hard work that we do.

I am not familiar with your country, but I can say that the challenges we are facing are similar to those in yours, and the government is to blame for all of it. If the government is not to blame, then who else is? They can give the poor a job so they can put food on the table, but it is getting worse for the poor who don't have a job because how are they going to survive in the economy? We experience new prices on the products each time, but we have to keep working hard and we can't put that on front that we should be blaming them always whether they will hear our voices. Every month gas prices are rising in my country, and all these protests are doing nothing to change that if the government means what they are doing, there will be no change of their mind until the time they like to see the poor have suffered enough.

Maybe in some movies... but in reality, ending poverty is not in their interest. Governments work hand in hand with rich people (or for rich people), simply without poor people (slaves) they wouldn't have power in their hands, it's the leverage they make on all of us. So what the government is doing is keeping this system as it is... not for years, for decades. Look outside, the rich are more richer, and there are more poor people than ever. If they are really doing something the numbers would be different.

Inflation is the cause to the hike of price of goods but the government are still very capable to regulate inflation to a lower lever, so I think in some countries where inflation is very high the government can contribute to the level at which the inflation stands. Government can regulate inflation by good management of money in the country and inflation can also be regulated when a country is more of production than importation of goods. A country that depends more on importation suffers more in the hands of inflation,  inflation level is always very high. I can blame the governments for high level of inflation.
