When was this never the case? Kids have always been costly, and families in poverty have always had kids.
- WheelsAtLarge 9y agoBut should that continue to be the case? Poverty is not a plus in any society. We all know the problems poverty brings with it. The new economy should not add to the problem. It should help solve it. We'll never get past the multi-level economy. There will always be the people at the top and the people at the bottom. We mostly feel that those that work hard to get ahead should not be treated at the level as someone that has not. We project laziness on the poor but that's not necessarily the case. So, if you have the motivation to work should poverty be your reward? I say no.
- rtx 9y agoMaking things cheaper is another way of solving it.
- jahaja 9y agoSo the idea is to make things cheaper for the poor by lowering their wages?
- rtx 9y agoYes, that reduces the cost of production. Everyone can be paid a high salary and produce expensive stuff. Or low salary and cheap stuff. Both of them are valid solutions. But due to the current concentration of wealth in rich countries we are seeing preference for one of them.
- jahaja 9y agoSo the wages of the poor is dynamic, but the profit margins etc are static by some force of nature?
