I care about the poor first. The "1 billion people live on less than US$1.25 a day" is impactful.

The role of political stability cannot be understated as a factor leading to economic prosperity. In a lot of developing nations, an unstable and downright corrupt government really inhibits economic opportunities and economic growth.

After that, you can address jobs and standards of living, but those alone won't go far without a stable foundation to build them on.
