I think the first solution to poverty is education. Education the young poor person gives a more brighter opportunity for future success rather than leaving them uneducated. Education prepares someone for the future even when opportunity is not presented at the current moment, a truly educated and knowledgeable person can find a way to survive. There is a relationship between education and knowledge because education sharpens knowledge and it gives the ability to apply the knowledge very well. Like Martin Luther said about living ready, this is important and can be guaranteed with education.
Education has become more accessible to everyone, with internet now reaching the remote nooks and corners of the world. It is not necessary to go to a college or school to get the required education. You can just enroll to the free online courses that are available in YouTube and other websites. A decade ago, that was not the case. Education was expensive, and inaccessible in many cases. Now this is one of the positive change that came with the technological progress. Cryptocurrency, online education, free markets.etc are just some of the new technological innovations that are helping poor people.
