What does advancement have to do with anything? Regardless of our technical advances, things always have a cost. At some point, someone has to pay that cost. Thus, there will always be people who cannot afford even vital things.

Our advancement is making the rich richer. Those who can't afford it find it harder and harder to get anything, and they are becoming poorer and poorer. Maybe if those who were rich choose to help other in poverty, it might help. However my family recently tried helping someone in poverty and it was nearly impossible. Many people (not all) are very happy collecting money from the government and playing "the victim". Even when they are offered the chance, they would rather live in poverty than work hard to acheive a better life.

I believe in two reasons: Ignorance and Experience.
We choose to ignore the homeless, the abused children, in fear of what will happen to us. We choose to overlook it with singluar thoughts on how pitiful it is for them for about...5 minutes, then we go on.
Life is hard. We have so much to do, so many worries, so many interests, we don't have time to find a local number for a non-profit organization that can help that child and it's abuser.
I also believe, we choose to experience this life, this life with it's balance in a chaotic way. And we choose to keep poverty amongst our people. I have never seen everyone have that one thing, or everywhere you go, there's always the same aura.
We're all individuals and our choices affect the environment we live in.
As for the government, they could be doing ten times more than they do, but what can you expect from a bunch of arrogant, selfish, shits?

The advanced one want to advance via taking away things from the non advanced ones. The strongest takes it all.

do we speak of "advanced" in terms of enlightenment, or in terms of techonology? until we can speak in terms of enlightenment, there will always be poverty. there will always need to be a scapegoat. there will always need to be a hierarchy, and in this world, that seems to be monetary. why? because it keeps the people in power in power.
