What Is A Living Wage?

Poverty is a complex issue.  While it CAN be eradicated, there are many faces of poverty and a variety of causes.  That said, there are certain big pieces of the puzzle that are essential parts of the overall solution.  Among other things, these include universal education, adequate health care, access to clean water and adequate sanitation, food security (including investing in agriculture, especially the small rural farmer in the developing world), and employment opportunities with a LIVING WAGE.

"What is a LIVING WAGE?"  Thanks for asking!  The following video produced by Point Blank Creative provides an excellent overview of this critical component in the fight against poverty that is taking hold and gathering momentum in Canada, USA, and around the world.

      It certainly would! Granted there would likely be some growing pains, but a huge dent in the poverty situation.
