Poverty is very difficult to solve, not only citizens but even some countries are experiencing poverty. This is not only a problem for the country but it is our common problem and us as human beings to provide assistance to them. Sometimes government systems neglect to provide solutions to the poor and on average they do not care about eradicating poverty. I strongly agree with the vision of the mission of overcoming poverty, but it is unfortunate that many people cheat by using it. My advice if you want to give help to the poor, you have to see and go into the field to provide assistance to the poor.

Poverty is one of the global conflicts that every country faces wherein cooperation from both its citizens and the one governing is crucially demanded. But despite the efforts of most countries, poverty still knocks at the doorsteps of every family and conflicts between the government and the people are always being talked about. Is it the people who needs to change or the government needs to clean itself? Who should be the one to make an effort?
Well Both of them need to cooperate government and the citizens as long it is a one sided it will be never be balance. some of the politicians yes we can say theyre good but with people who lacks at descipline the effort will be wasted. in same opposite scenario people have a discpline but most of the politicians always think on their own wallets, corruption and anything that keeps theyre wallet full. I know theres a lot of country does succeed it and  the reason is the cooperation of both side. Smiley

Both the people and the government needs to change and try to combat poverty.
It's a problem that has existed for a very long time with a long history. There are problems
that coincide and go along with poverty, the famous ones are crimes and corruption.
As long as this elements exists and continue to deprive the real solution for poverty,
it's just gonna get worse and worse.

It matters what country we're in and the system of government and the power of that system of government. Lets take the United States for instance, I would say that you're not able to blame the government for financial hardships as you're the ones (the people) are the ones that are electing the very people who are controlling the government and are setting forth policy.

This is also assuming that the government isn't too involved in finance/business. As in America, they are only involved to a certain extent, which isn't seen in all countries -- as some have more or less government regulatory control.

This is a case by case issue, tough one to be honest.

That is one of our greatest flaw as a human. We always look for someone to blame and disregard the mistakes we do. If there is someone to blame it will be ourselves. We want a better life a change in the way we live but us ourselves cannot change our own doings. If we want change in our world we must start at ourselves and dont blame it to others.

We are all to be blamed for the poverty in the world. In almost every country people have the power to change things that happen around them.For instance where there is democracy, the people make up the government. They have the power to elect the right people to stir the  affairs of the society in order to solve societal issues such as poverty

poverty has to be well treated through a collective endavour in the government and people. Also government should do the right thing to the people.

The goverment is simply the voice of the voters, so the voters is responsible for everything they do, such is democracy.
I would say that the system is to blame, a monetary system that rules everything and makes sure the rich gets richer. It corrupts our democracy and turns us into simple wage slaves, without any rights or any way to get change done unless we unite against the system. To bad the system it self is designed only to prevent such united forces to every arise, by media trashings, laws, police and military forces or even intelligence service.

Everyone who help to build the system is guilty, every voter and taxpayer, police. military, and anyone who goes by in silent obedience knowing that the world is out of order.

The real culprit is the creation of debt by the banking elite, and the theft of capital from the people and national reserves.

The people are also to blame for allowing it to happen, and to succumb to the drug addiction promoted by the deep state, and the government unicorns.

You can blame the Government, the people, we can blame anyone. But the one that we should blame is ourselves. We should start the things In ourselves such as be responsible to the things we should do, because it started to us to the government and to the country.

There's should be balance for both, to the government and to the people.

You can't have a good governance if the people you are governing aren't cooperating with what you are doing. If the people were just cooperative and also have plans of making their lives better in the future, life will be easier. Don't blame it all to the government.

The goverment always, although people are also at fault believing the stories told by their politicians.
And this, starting from the fact that in the end the politicians are not the ones who have real power, but that would be another debate.
IMHO and after what i said, i think the percentage would be 80% Goverment - 20% Society

Government is there to make sure that the welfare of it's citizens are met, They should either provide jobs for it's citizens are make sure that there is a sound environment which makes it's citizens thrives. If the government hasn't provided that conditions then it has failed the people but if it has and the people are still living in poverty then it's the fault of the citizens.

I am from the United States and I believe that our government is comprised of the people. If there is an issue with the government than the people need to fix it. If our leaders aren't working than they need to be replaced. If government policies aren't working for us than we need to demand they be changed.

So, who is to blame for the faults of the government? I say it is the people.

While the greater blame should go to the government because they are the custodians of the tools for development the people also should take part of the blame for complacency and inaction

Both should make an effort. While the government may be largely blamed for the high poverty level in the country, it is also needful to know that sometimes the people do not take advantage of some policies of the government been put in place to alleviate poverty. But still, the government should take a very large portion of the blame.

I think both have influence but goverment is one that need to be blame,because they are the one that decide laws for everything and in most cases their decision is against people decision ,i saw that in my county when we got referendum for voting its mean if you vote for one politican your vote goes only to him,  because in many cases people vote for individual person in some party but after election when this party wins they kick that individual and your vote goes to this party anyway and this individual politican lost his space in parlament....,so many politicans was against that referendum in my country so they are against their own people and they get authority actually scaming on people....,many of them will say that its peoples fault they get scamed but in many cases hard working people who have little childrens have no or little time in day to make research on every politican and party and to be honest their is couple of politicans in my county that are in parlament that worth something others are rats and bottom of society

Government in most cases are the custodians of the wealth of the nation and are therefore supposed to develop political and economic policies that would help to drive the economy thereby leady to economic empowerment but when the wrong policies are implemented or when they are no policies at all due to lack foresight the citizens remain further impoverish, therefore the blame should be on government

I think the ones to be blamed are the ones who are not doing their part in the society. Blame the people who vote (or sell their votes to) corrupt politicians and people who are not working hard for a living and blame government for it. Blame the government, the public servants who are not serving the public.

Is it the people who needs to change or the government needs to clean itself? Who should be the one to make an effort?

I think it should go both ways. There are some people who wouldn't let poverty stop them from getting themselves out of the dust, while some people succumb to poverty. Both the government and the people are at fault here, but sometimes you could only help someone who actually wants to be helped. That said, there were times when no matter how much you want to get out of poverty, there are corrupt officials who pockets the money alloted for poor families.
