Poverty is always men-made. We feel poor if we don't have a smartphone, no computer, no shoes new dress for a wedding or gold to give to the bride or to the grooms family.

Jobs
If there are more people than jobs this means there are too many people. Ever thought about that? Having more children will not solve the problem of poverty. How should those children be fed, dressed and get old enough to provide in the needs of parents/sibling if there are no jobs and everyone is too lazy to be a farmer because the went through highschool? Is highschool that special you deserve a job?

If parents keep taking children you are a dumbarse if you cannot provide in their needs. Why should others, families, the government or even foreigners giving aid?

Do you have any idea where the money should come from if you want to help fight poverty since if it comes to it people are never satisfied and even dare to say that they have the right to receive everything for free. I see a lot of dissatisfaction in my country although those who lived on the streets receive more thatn those who work hard and pay taxes By now one worker has to keep 3-5 families alive, big families, a family they can't have themselves.

Fighting poverty is not as easy as it seems. If you want a better life you better think before you act. Work, save and don't get married if there are no savings. Living in poverty with children is a burden.

By the way I find it remarkable how many state they cannot buy food but do have a smartphone and at times way more luxury than I have. It's a question of priority, what is it you want for yourself and your future. Better work that out first before you start a family which comes with a lot of responsibilities.

Your example of the son is a good one: men made - is it stupidity that he sells the roof above his head instead of making an income with it?

The lady with the shop: how did that fire start? If you ask me that one is men made too unless the fire is causes by the electricity wires of the city or causes by the lighting but also she didn't think ahead and was prepared for in case of need. If you start a business you should.

So my conclusion is: it's all men made and measured by he standards set by a community and having no food is no direct reason to state a person is poor.
Poverty is in most cases the result of a poor policy, a lack of thinkting/brains and it would be good if school would teach awareness and make people save for the future and in case of need instead of living by the day.

Are there exceptions? Of course, wars (also men made).
