[Extra Post] Should Korean government do more to reduce poverty and promote equality?

 As the number of poor has increased since the 1997 IMF economic crisis, solving the poverty problem has become an urgent task for our society. Poverty in itself presents unbearable pain and human humiliation to the person concerned, but it is a social task that must be solved because it causes social instability as a whole.

There are various government roles in Korea. The most important thing among them is to promote the well-being of the people. Since the whole nation has the right to live without discrimination from others, the government should establish an environment that encourages them to live equally.

In Korea, until now, there is a Basic Social Security as the policy to reduce poverty. In the case of this basic security system, which is the main system as a countermeasure against poverty, there is a blind spot for basic security, and there are few policies for relative poverty, and there are problems such as reduced work, lower-income, insufficient poverty, and poverty pitfalls. 

I would like to recommend that one way to reduce poverty is to provide a balanced education for teenagers. If we don't get higher education in Korea, where the academic desire is high, we will have difficulty finding a job in Korea, so won't get a job, and the inheritance of poverty will continue. They should not benefit from college entrance or employment just because they grew up under parents with a lot of power and wealth. Also, the children under poor parents should not continue to regress at education.
