POVERTY   AND  GOVERNMENT  POLICY 


                     1)     Unfortunately countries which are relatively poor spend lower fraction 

                             of their gdp  behind social welfare, compared to richer countries. 

                     

                   2)   Giving free money to the poor, contrary to widely held belief, does not

                          make them lazy or work less. This has been shown in empirical research.

                          Actually, when government redistributes some of its tax money to the  

                           poor, it makes them more productive. They become less anxious about 

                           their survival and feel motivated to work more and earn more.
