Is there any effective way to make sure youths stays where the are told to stay instead of looking for quick money? Gambling isn't the solution to poverty it will possibly drown you deep into more poverty.

No doubt that availability of jobs will get many youths out of the street and that will reduce their exposure to vices

If the addicts gamble with loans, their salary won't change the behavior. It'll only make the person a high roller. Funneling lots of vulnerable to his career. I don't think gambling addiction revolve around jobless people. Gambling has taken jobs away from employees. The solution is kindness. Having conversation with gambling addicts. Inviting them for outings, parties and other social gatherings. Will engage them and brush away some time spent on gambling. But, the society today is not conducive to them. Thereby boosting the number of gambling addicts in the communities, regardless of their financial status. CEOs gamble. If the aggressive and the financial destructive gambling addict is shown the other side of this world. He'll learn to adjust, and fix his life. Hence, it'll gradually spread and reduce the high rate of gamblers. So, if gambling is not a solution to poverty, it is not also a solution to more wealth. For the rich folks. The very rich go broke because of gambling. Being financially stable doesn't solve it. A sustainable social activities will easily bounce out gambling addiction. I know it'll sound difficult, since these addicts don't think of other things. One would wonder how to constantly win a gambling addict over to a party. They may influence their non gambling friends. Thousands of reasons have reduced the care loved ones give to their suffering gambling addictive friends. I've seen many addicts change. Because they hang out with non gamblers. Good peers make great changes to the society. In most cases, it's not planned. The addict gets compassionate with the non gamblers, accidentally. And tend to change by seeing how their friends live life. That means if the people invest kindness to help reduce gambling addicts, it'll be easier to achieve than any other available method.

Is it not about money? Any CEO can fall into the trap, and a big pay won't change anything. The problem of gambling addiction affects more than only the unemployed, you're right. A problem that transcends wealth

What matters? Kindness, as you mentioned. Helping an addict see the world from another perspective. The casino isn't as important as friends and socialising. It shows that life is more than dice and roulette

How do we ensure that these outings and gatherings don't inadvertently turn into another gambling opportunity? This is a complicated topic, but your understanding illuminates a solution. It's about assisting, caring, and investing in people. It's about showing that friendship, love, and support exist beyond gambling. The path is difficult yet worthwhile
