Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst How to make poor areas richer? The answers are complicated and mostly depending on many circumstances. It's easy to oversimplify the answers. We however could compare this to how many people are also seeing their personal lives are changing for the worse because of global changes everywhere including the way we work. The only way to come out from this for a person is to radically transform his/her mentality, get new skills, prepare for new opportunities and jobs. Many poor areas were mild class or going well before. Changes in economic situation or rising inequality produce a crisis which make areas rife with crime, inequality, poor housing quality, etc. The only way to transform these areas is to start with the people giving new opportunities to the people living there. Otherwise we will have areas beyond poverty, areas where even Police is afraid to come in. In this age of changes, let's ge together for a better society.
