I care about the poor first. The "1 billion people live on less than US$1.25 a day" is impactful.
But even more important is the solution, how do we fix this? Basic necessities, then jobs. And after that, increase wages and living standards. Basic should be done first.

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. A fair society based on civil rights, property rights, and economic freedom are not easy to implement, but are the essential first step to to address economically underdeveloped areas of the world. 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.

This makes sense. Actually this is a dilemma of our society, or you can say about our governments and nations. They dont focus on the living standards of their people rather their first priority is always to get their own pockets healthy and wealthy. They dont want to address the issues of local public. These only few percent of population, they are controlling our finances.
