It's impossible without drastic population reduction... I'm talking at least 500 million people. Highly populated areas like India and China can't support their entire populations, thus poverty prevails. Also poverty often motivates people to breed more... in third world country more kids means more help, and a safeguard against the high mortality rate. In America, the poverty level is actually rewarded for having too many children... their welfare checks increase. This motivates them to have more children when they can't even support themselves. As long as these trends continue, the poverty levels are only going to increase.

Although the world appears to be pressing forward in terms of technological advances, there are many problems that humanity must face and acknowledge. One of the major factors limiting our advancement as a species is our functional inability to feed hungry people. Indeed, hunger, even in the 21st Century, is still a major problem that affects millions of individuals throughout the globe. There are organizations in place that are trying to curb the amount of hunger and, eventually, end it in totality. Indeed, there is virtually no reason that people should be going hungry at the rates that they are. For more information:

good question this is a very tough one to answer. The majority of countries in the world suffer from poverty. I wish there was a way we can end poverty but its tough to handle a big number of people suffering from it. What these people need is to be educated at least enough to obtain a job and we have to establish a system where education is accessible to them.

First off, there are loads of factors that ppl haven't thought about:
-First solution: Aid, however, ppl in LEDC's(Less economically developed countries) become dependant on it and become lazy to work(Eg: 10.4million in Ethiopia are dependant on food aid)
-Secondly, the government usually doesn't use the money from donations wisely, either for schools that are never attended and don't make up policies to get ppl into school.
-Thirdly, corruption. It is impossible to avoid and still occurs in More developed countries, so Money from Aid secretly kept in politicians pockets
-Now, Economists may say, why not settle for trade? Well, MEDC(Economically More developed Countries) usually have this deal with LEDC's to have a trade agreement, so that they will lend poorer countries money, in response to not make the LEDC's put a tax on MEDC's imports. However, there is this thing called 'Free Trade" (Eg in Britain, has a free trade agreement with St. Vincent with bananas; St. Vincent gives Britain Bananas, and from the profit made, St. Vincent is given part of it). The Problem with this, is that many think this means MEDC become richer and strike out with picket signs etc...
So, to conclude,for poverty to be erradicated, politics must change, not us....
