Many positions in the world require people to have a minimum education requirement. This is
tough for a poor man to attain. The divide separating haves and have-nots is mostly caused by
uneven resource allocation. The unequal distribution of material and financial assets both
globally and within individual countries is what leads to poverty. Sociologists define it as a
socioeconomic state characterized by unbalanced and inequity wealth and income disparity,
the deindustrialization of Western economies, and the predatory effects of global capitalism. It
is the state's duty to handle this. The state should be allowed to supply the bare necessities for
the impoverished so that they can fight for existence with the rest of the population. It is
critical for the impoverished to learn how to engage with others in community and to attempt
to better themselves (Crossman, 2019). Several impoverished folks think that their
impoverishment is the result of their own decisions. They chose the job that kept them
financially disadvantaged over the one that would also have rendered them wealthy. This

level of essential necessities or money to satisfy one's daily desires. The United States
government has established a federal poverty line that characterizes deprivation among
consciousness as a basic (Hari M, 2011). The statutory poverty line for youth is based on
hyperinflation and the consumer prices index. In 2012, the federal government found that 58.5
% of all Americans' youths were impoverished, with all those aged twelve to twenty-five
years suffering the most. Poverty incidence are chronically higher in rural and inner-
clothes, housing, food, and health care. As a result, they allude to scarce funds and a low level
of living that cannot provide fundamental human requirements (Zeder, 2020). Deprivation is
presently a serious socioeconomic concern in Pakistan, India and other nations throughout the
world. Individuals all over the world believe that poverty is what causes and brings about
joblessness, and drug usage. Numerous individuals all over the world have agricultural
traditions, and their social lives are simply tied to their heritage and wealth. The assets at our
disposal and found thus far have not been utilized to this point (Chen, 2022). As it is found in
sophisticated countries that use oil, gas, and water resources for the benefit of humans. The
major causes of the high levels of poverty in the society have been identified by society as
being a low level of education, a high live birth, a maldistribution of the production factors a
conventional farming system, societal corruption, and economic and political instability. As a

By investigating all feasible solutions to the society's poverty problems. I would rather that the
government enforce the minimum wage bill policy on companies in order to ensure that
wage law is a policy as well as an idea that has long been championed by trade and labor
movements across the world to help address the issue of poverty in society. All employers are
obligated by minimum wage act to pay their staff a certain, government-determined basic
wage. The goal of minimum wage regulations is to assist the working poor without raising
government expenditure. Organized labor is among the most powerful supporters of minimum
wage laws. They frequently attempt to impose a minimum salary on their employees. Laws
governing the minimum wage, nevertheless, are hotly debated. They eventually harm the
economy more than they benefit, according to critics (Zeder, 2020). The supply and demand
law is the foundation of this reasoning. Employers will not be able to continue to hire the same
number of employees if the minimal pay rises above the market equilibrium. As a result, rising
unemployment. As a consequence, individuals who are still working benefit from a greater
income, making them in fact better off. However, the rise in joblessness will also increase the
