Is There a Solution to Eradicate World’s Poverty?

I think that nobody has a perfect answer to eradicate poverty, but I know how difficult it is to live in a developing country. The percentage of poor people in my home country is increasing every year, and most children don’t even have a minimum chance to get a decent education, food or shelter. I don’t have a magical solution for this problem. But if government officials of developing countries were to eliminate corruption and people would abide by the law, things would be much better. A more progressive tax system based on taxation of income instead of consumption would also be very effective at providing aid to those who need it most. Everybody should have the opportunity to get a good education and a decent job. If everything were to work perfectly poverty would disappear, but it is a little naïve to think that it will be gone in a short period of time. Although if some of the suggestions described above were implemented, all developing countries will be better off and people will have a better quality of live.
