If their problem is lack of earning capability, that needs to be addressed through education and job creation.

What's the point of creating more jobs if they don't give you benefits or the wages are still fairly low?

Then perhaps you're creating (or training for) the wrong jobs. There are many vocations out there that provide benefits and have rather large earning potentials.

The wrong jobs still have to be done by someone though. When you're talking about an entire system, you can't shift everybody out of a class of work as a solution or your dishes won't get washed.

Can you name any? There are a lot of people out there who keep trying to find one and failing. If not for many years of experience in software (without which even new grads are really struggling), I have no idea what I'd be doing.
