Check Forbes list of billionaires or world’s richest people and you will be shocked. We cannot earn as much money in our entire lives what these rich people and companies earn in one hour. More shocking is the fact that most of these richest people do not share their prosperity with the poor; instead, they try to increase their wealth.
Similarly, there are sharp disparities in incomes of these persons and a manual worker, or an office worker. There is an urgent need to remove these disparities of wealth and grow a just and prosperous society by redirecting flow of money towards the poor and needy people.
Value of education and skills are decreasing day by day. Food and basic necessities’ prices are increasing. Livestock and agriculture have become a profitable business.
Onions and tomatoes are selling at record high prices. Our universities, colleges and most importantly private training institutes are providing such education as is not required for the development of the country. For example, there is huge a number of teachers and IT professionals.
Medical education is very lucrative but it is costly and restricted. Unfortunately, people cannot change their profession easily due to their age, education, skills and families.
