How to Solve Poverty

This video explores the concept of underemployment, explaining it as a state where individuals work below their skill level, in part-time roles when seeking full-time, or for wages insufficient to meet their needs. The script identifies underemployment as a significant contributor to poverty, indicating that it leads to lower incomes, reduced job security, and skill atrophy, which exacerbate financial vulnerability and can hinder personal and economic growth. It discusses the importance of addressing underemployment to enhance labor productivity, improve mental health, and ensure economic and social development. Solutions proposed include investing in education and training aligned with labor market needs, encouraging full-time employment through policy, supporting small businesses, and developing platforms to match job seekers with appropriate opportunities. The video concludes by advising students passionate about solving underemployment to study labor market trends, policy evaluation, and entrepreneurship, offering resources through Plato University.
