The poverty line is the minimum income that people need for an acceptable standard of living. People with incomes below the poverty line are considered poor. Economists study the causes of poverty in order to find solutions to the problem.
72.
Even with today’s relatively high standard of living, about 10 percent of the people in the United States are below the poverty line.
However, if these people had stable jobs, they could have an acceptable standard of living. Economists suggest several reasons why poor people do not have jobs.
For one thing, more than half of the poor people in the United States are not qualified to work. Over 40 percent of the poor people are children. By law, children less than 16 years old cannot work in many industries. A large number of poor people are old. Many companies do not hire people over 65 years old which is the normal retirement age.
Some poor adults do not look for jobs for a variety of personal reasons: they are sick, they do not have any motivation. They have family problems, or they do not believe that they can find a job.
Other poor people look for a job but cannot find one. Many poor adults never went to high school. Therefore, when they look for jobs, they have few skills that they can offer. At the present time, the government thinks it can reduce poverty in the country in the following ways.
First, if the national economy grows, businesses and industries will hire more workers. Second, if society invests in the poor, the poor will become more productive. Finally, if the government distributes society’s income differently, it will raise some poor people above the poverty line.
Which of the following is the government’s solution to the problem of poverty?
选项
A、Providing more educational opportunities.
B、Developing national economy.
C、Improving employees’ productivity.
D、Helping poor people learn some skills.
答案
B
