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.
Resilient Infrastructure, Shelter, against nature’s
elements, affordable at the national minimum wage, housing which would protect
and offer comforts, to an individual as a family home. Basic housing units
offer shelter, safety and privacy to an individual, while encouraging expansion
into a family type home and back into smaller accommodations in later life. Low
cost housing, which is durable, with special incentives to maintain and
upgrade, for the next occupant. For this is a stepping-stone to a family size
home. A home to bring up and guide children. People
born into Poverty with such housing prospects can parent their children out of
poverty.
Essential Education, A Lifelong Love of Learning,
from basic communication at Early Childhood, continuous training and assessment
at the individual rate, through to developed skills and talents. The
population, from cradle to grave, will constantly learn the right or wrong
thing. Ego and Greed are not taught in schools. It is these right and wrong
lessons which forms a good character and teaches individuals, at their own
learning rate, to consider others. Skills and Talents, as a result of formal
training, gained experience and certification does not replace home training of
Morals and Ethics. People born into Poverty can
only escape with that mentoring caring and guidance.
Public Health, Wellness, nutrition and exercise,
safety practices and prevention, clean environment, pest control, access to
healthcare, for accident and emergency treatment and recuperation, and
medication for chronic illnesses. The population, from birth to death, must be
in the best state of health. Wellness describes the peak mental and physical
status. Such requires a nourishing and active lifestyle, safe and clean spaces,
frequent and periodic checkups. It is, however, inevitable that parts of the
population will fall to accidents and illness. People
born into Poverty often find themselves as the largest portion of this
unhealthy grouping, needing much more attention.
General Security, Order, monitor and surveil, inspect
and detect, prosecute and judge, incarcerate and rehabilitate, to maintain low
crime rates nationally. Laws as written by a
majority, brings Order to any society. Armed forces and Police are charged with
the responsibility of keeping Law and Order. Once the laws are broken, charges
must be filed and it is the judiciary, the courts that will pronounce on the
matter. Prisons are to remand suspects, lockup persons found to be guilty and
engage in programs to assimilate persons back into society.
People born into Poverty, only need the courts to be fair and
understanding of their predicament.
