  • cap on wages-highest paid people can only earn a certain amount, so that more is distributed to lower earning workers

Statistics:

  • 2,382,000 jobs were outsourced out of the U.S. in 2015 (One solution would be to create more jobs in America)
  • the unemployment rate for men and women 4.5% for each
  • over the past year, restaurant services have gained 312,000 jobs

What is Poverty?

Poverty is defined as, "not having enough money to meet basic needs including food, clothing and shelter."

According to the 2015 US census, "The official poverty rate in 2015 was 13.5 percent, down 1.2 percentage points from 14.8 percent in 2014. In 2015, there were 43.1 million people in poverty, 3.5 million less than in 2014."

Race and Ethnicity

Divorce

Ways to Solve Poverty within our Economic System

  • African Americans poverty rate 27.4%
  • Hispanics poverty rate 26.6%
  • White poverty rate 9.9%

  • African Americans are treated unequally in the criminal justice system, so they are sent to jail more often and aren't able to find jobs as easily
  • By age six, 68% in non-married households, experienced at least one year of poverty.
  • Mother's are more likely than fathers, to fall into poverty following divorce.
  • Mothers who remarried are less likely to become poor.

Education

  • community college: make it free for low income families
  • early education in school: make pre-school more accessible for those who can't afford it
  • earning a high school diploma can help break the cycle of multi-generational poverty

Statistics:

  • dropout rate: 7.4%

Solutions:

  • Create programs specifically for minorities that help find employment and offer assistance
  • Enact programs to help former convicts become employed
  • Indicators should measure realization of urgent social and economic needs of the most marginalized populations.
  • Indicators should measure respect of indigenous peoples’ rights, including land and cultural rights, and recognize free, prior, and informed consent.
  • Indicators which measure the achievement of each target for the most marginalized or discriminated against groups in each country.

Children

  • free child care-let the government cover the cost of daycare for low income families
  • free contraception-encourage putting off having children until the parents can afford it

Statistics:

  • child poverty rate: 21.1%
  • teen birth rate: 26.5%

Summary

  • 3 main categories to address: education, children, and jobs
  • most important issues are to further education, support children and their needs, and create jobs for the unemployed
  • remove the differences between races concerning employment and the justice system
