You don't have to have a job, you have to earn money. Those are two different things. Begging is a form of income. I think your view of "luxury" is somewhat different than most people. Most people in poverty live in cities with high cost of living. Relying on them to make the most of that money by moving out of cities isn't likely to happen. They could already do that today and don't.
