There
are many ways to contribute to overcoming global poverty these days. The
easiest method that we can think of is financial aid. Many rich countries
provide financial aids to developing countries. However, it is suggested that
giving money does not always help solve poverty, and other types of help are
needed rather than financial aids. I strongly agree with the idea for the
following reasons.
First,
it is doubtful that the money can help the economic growth in developing
countries. Financial aids often make recipients less motivated in labor
activities. It is very important that people do work and make a profit to
maintain the economic society. However, if people can receive money for free,
they will not be willing to work hard and lose motivation to work. Finally, it
will eventually lead to the society stop growing. Moreover, helping with money
is not sustainable. Money can solve the questions of the day, but it cannot
solve the fundamental issues. If the poorer countries depend on only financial
aids from the rich countries, they will just need more and more as their
economy grows, and it is not possible to donate an unlimited amount of money.
Actually,
there are other ways to help developing countries more efficiently. Providing
public health system can be one of the options. It is common that the diseases
give a lot of societal and economic burden in most emerging countries. Rich
countries can help establish public health centers and provide medicines,
vaccines, and other treatments to reduce the global disease burden. It will
increase the working-age population and will help the country to overcome
poverty. Another way is providing education. Education makes kids grow with
hopes, dreams, and motivations. For instance, many NGOs provide volunteers
teaching students in developing countries, and one article said that the
countries with a good education system showed better quality of life the others
that do not have public school systems.
To sum
up, giving money is not sustainable, and the health & education system has
more value to increase economic growth and happiness. For these reasons, I
strongly believe that financial aids are not the best way to help developing
countries.
