To solve what or how people end up poor is an impossible problem to solve. Getting people out and back up on the feet is an even larger problem but one which every great society both feels a responsibility and a duty to put a good effort in providing the necessary tools and resources in place. In thinking of the many different situations and histories of those caught, having tools and resources is not enough. If it was just a matter of taking the same path back up that brought you down, not as many people would not be poor. The problem is, you have to make a change to rise up out of poverty. Either a different lifestyle, different workskills, different way of thinking, something has to change. Finding the right combination of changes and tools/resources is not always apparent. Mentorship is what is missing. The person, persons, or even reference that help solve the problem and make the breakthrough. There are no problems that cannot be solved with time and effort. To crack how to provide this in an efficient and scalable manner would be the fortune the discoverer.
