I'm frustrated that the poor in my country keep dragging down living standards with their lack of education and high crime rates. What can be done about the problem of the poor?

Addressing the problems of the poor is a complex task that requires comprehensive, sustained action. Many countries have taken approaches ranging from public policy initiatives that address inequality and target poverty-stricken areas to private-sector efforts that empower low-income communities. Regardless of the approach taken, the underlying goal should be to provide educational opportunities and increase economic stability so that these groups can lift themselves out of poverty.
