There's less or nothing at all of a positive impact the poor plays in the economy of any county order than been a burden to the government. The poor are there just to make the wealthy more wealthier in the sense that they are used as stooges by the rich to perpetrate certain unlawful activities.

There must be a positive impact, because the rich and the poor have become a cycle that cannot be separated because they both need each other for economic growth in various fields.

The poor are a threat to tranquility and security in the society and that's why every government needs to tackle poverty as much as they can to beat it to it's barest minimum. Cause where there's so much poverty there bound to be increase in crime rate cause majority of these poor populace may only see crime as means to daily survival.

Actually crime is not synonymous with poverty, even bigger crimes are committed by rich people and state officials by means of corruption and so on. The state's task should be to reduce its citizens so they don't live in poverty. But the problem of poverty is very complex, because poverty is sometimes also caused by factors beyond the ability of the individual, one of which is due to inherited family poverty.

So not all poverty is an individual's fault, there are still external factors, but fortunately I have parents (only my mother, my biological father is divorced) who are not mentally poor, they care about education, while my mother's parents (my mother's) are parents who don't care about the future. He thinks women don't need education, this is a wrong idea.

Apart from that, poverty is caused by the absence of jobs, the cost of living is expensive, and the scope of poverty is due to the high rate of corruption. The government must change the mindset of a consumptive society to be productive. Ensure that development is carried out on a priority scale that can improve living standards. Make sure that government programs tend to be more productive, don't subsidize the consumptive sector.

Certainly, white-collar crimes, such as corruption, bribery, and misappropriation, often outshine the crimes linked with the financially challenged. This reinforces the need to rethink our dialogue on crime and poverty, shifting from stereotypes to a comprehensive understanding of systemic and structural factors. However, your words suggest that poverty reduction is mainly a state's task. While the state has a duty to protect its citizens' welfare, poverty's roots are intertwined with societal norms, cultural values, and economic systems.

Consider the belief that women's education isn't essential - a remnant of patriarchal societies. A government initiative alone won't extinguish such deep-rooted notions. We need a societal transformation towards gender equality and empowerment. As for corruption, its association with poverty is convoluted. While corruption indeed impedes economic growth, it's not the only poverty source. A more encompassing approach to poverty reduction would also tackle income inequality, education quality, and healthcare access.
