Poverty to end by 2024

[Bilal9]

You should return to Bangladesh and lynch Muhith publicly for saying these things.

Fat chance of THAT happening.

Excellent post.

Thanks brother.

Sad thing is - some people are still misinformed and bought the Indian propaganda hook, line and sinker that we should make everything from sewing needles to Railway locomotives locally to progress industrially, regardless of economic sense.

We just have to add value sensibly and be very focused (and good) at it. Quantity of EXPORT value addition is where it is at. Whether it is clothes or chotchke's (dollar store gift items), does not matter. As long as dollars keep coming in.

The thing that drove our progress so far is that no one could compete with us in labor cost. That WILL change however - so we have to improve the quality of our labor (by training them in export oriented manufacturing skills) while keeping labor rates low.

What chance do I have when you have almost successfully lynched me with your barbed posts all the time in this forum? Instead of citing your Indian propaganda, do you really think by 2024 all the beggars in the towns and cities will evaporate? It is only five years from now and BD sitting politicians are talking without meaning anything.

Can you cite me what really is the concrete program to undo poverty by the govt? There has been a reduction of poverty, no doubt. But, it is all due to the increased production in the garments sweatshop. An increase in export and import has caused increased economic activities by the population which has reduced poverty.

There is almost no centralized contribution by the government, all are due to the activities by the private enterprises. But, to get rid of the street beggars requires a centralized government program.

@bilal, would you mind citing a govt program, if any, to undo begging by 2024?

Not even US , UK or Germany has eradicated poverty but here is BD with a pee capita of $1600 talking about ending it in 4 years. Poverty is always going to be there even in the most advance and richest of countries let alone a poor and LDC like BD

mine verdict: two entirely different people.
bluesky: just some harmless copy/pasting fantasist
Atlas: a crafty bal propagandist of the caliber of joe

Do not please tag me a fantasist. I do not live in fantasy but live in reality. But, many others are who copy, paste and praise every uttering made by the BAL ministers. Neither BAL ministers nor these PDF posters, who claim themselves to be exorcists, know a single line about the national economic development and keep on praising BD's promotion from an underdeveloped country to a developed one only by 2041.

They say it because their political party is saying so. Please someone tell me since when BD has been holding the Aladin's lamp? BD is doing fine with a nominal development in low technology products, but it is not in the league of becoming a developed country led by big talking ignoramus.

I am not a pessimist but rather a pragmatic person. People in the PDF should come out with their own thoughts instead of referring to what BAL ministers incessantly talk.

At least get the per capita income of BD right.
It is 2000 US dollars for 2020.

China...

The world's third largest exporter of weapons.
The world's largest shipbuilding and exporting country.
The world's largest rail transit manufacturer.
The world's largest UAV production country.
The world's largest exporter of machinery.
The world's largest producer of PV products.
The largest wind power equipment manufacturer in the world.
Supercomputers NO.1 and NO.2 come from China.

I am no expert on many topics but if there’s something I know about it’s tanks and aircrafts and a little of ships, basically the countries that hold the mastery of shipbuilding are the countries that rule the world. First it was China but then it was the India until the British dominated shipbuilding and hence ruled the sea, the cycle was broken by US which became the largest in WW2, 70 years since more than half of those yards in US are closed whereas China now is the biggest manufacturer of ships, of all kinds. It will surely become number 1 if it takes some critical decisions right.

The article is talking about extreme poverty and not all poverty. Nonetheless, I don't think extreme poverty can be fully eradicated by 2024.

The level of poverty Muhith was talking about was to earn more than $2 a day. On that count he was right.

Reducing absolute poverty to zero by 2024 is not completely unachievable. Here are the stats (link is a bit slow to load, and there are other stats there),

https://public.tableau.com/views/Su...;embed=true&:toolbar=n&:origin=viz_share_link

As of 2018 - 21.8% Bangladeshis live below the national poverty threshold for around US$1.90 per day (or at exchange rates for 80 Taka to the dollar. But baffling as it is, (and sorry I have to bring in stats for India but very few other comparable country stats are available), stats for India say their poverty line was in 2011-12 was Rs.1000 per month (highest stats available for latest time period). I am a bit baffled why their poverty line is so low and ours is so high (even during the same comparable time period in 2011-12).

Per our stats poverty line is Tk. 4560 per month (or Rs. 4000). Indias is only Rs. 1000.
Must be a PPP vs. real dollars thing. @Homo Sapiens bhai your comments...

I do not understand what makes you angry. I have checked now to see your post that I replied, but it seems to have been deleted by a Moderator. But, why are you blaming me when I have not reported your post.

I am not that feeble-minded to report any post except that I reported one post by @Nilgiri. Please check the matter with Moderators to know who reported you. I am not that feeble to cry, beg or report.

By the way, please change your style of badmouthing people. Your language this time surprised me. Would love to see you using civic words.

Thanks to CoVID-19, it has become almost impossible to eradicate extreme poverty at this stage. But, it is possible to eradicate it in the long run if various types of industries to produce consumer goods are gradually set up. They create more and more wealth. FDIs can also produce wealth.

The cumulative wealth thus produced in the industries would spread and be distributed among the populace lifting up people from extreme poverty. In the case of BD, eradication of poverty can already be seen with naked eyes. It will take a few more years to completely eradicate it.

Not sure what would happened tomorrow, but one thing is for sure, if one day US decided to go all out, head on with China, the magnitude of this two collide with each other would be a totally different story compared with his previous opponent from the east, e.g. Empire of Japan and no one can predict the outcome of the humanity.

Ruling system should be changed . Gold

Are not you asking for changing the color of the glass instead of changing the contents? But, no easy ride to a developed status and no short-cut way to achieve that.

A country must be perseverance and work hard for centuries to catch up with the developed world. The D-world is at least 3 centuries ahead of us.
