Economic Opportunities, Jobs, decent work for unskilled workers,
which pays a national minimum wage, that is a living wage, able
to support a basic standard of living. Many people, in society, that are
offspring of poor, vulnerable or disadvantaged parents will find themselves
repeating the same behaviors, trapping their own children in a circle of
poverty. This cycle can be broken by a mix of simple policies aimed to
eradicate poverty. The mainstay of which is described as “Earn to Learn”. People
born into Poverty, who find themselves as an unskilled and untalented adult, must
be afforded such options.

Bottom up Solutions
Numerous decisions are made to protect society from
disasters. Whether natural or man-made, threatening lives or economic growth,
Governments must make decisions to preserve lifestyles. Wide ranging economic
decisions, bringing Government and Large operators together, will affect
investors, as to supporting entrepreneurs, in which sector or industry, and
licensing and regulating operators. Many other disasters, all with wide
economic impacts, will see negative effects on employment and Small and Medium
Enterprises (SMEs) owners. But the poor and other vulnerable persons in the
society do not get to have a say. Even as such disasters will send more into
poverty.

Leadership Crisis
In a democracy, the electorate votes to elect moral and ethical
persons to serve in leadership roles. Not to enrich themselves or to win the
next election, but to collectively make life better for their society. Such
leadership must avoid misfortunes, wars or insurgencies but be constantly
prepared for natural disasters and to put down external or internal threats to
the nation. This leadership must prevent but prepare for public health
emergencies. The leadership must instill a lifelong Love of Learning in and
across the population. All to inspire confidence throughout the society, in its
laws, its policies, its infrastructure and its revenue generating, economic
drivers.
