SINGAPORE AND THE BANGLADESHIS

Do you know that the fact that Singaporeans are very willing to hire Bangladeshis to work in Singapore is actually helping to resolve world poverty and solve Bangladesh's social problems created by poverty?

World poverty can be greatly reduced if the richer countries are willing to have their immigration laws reformed to allow larger numbers of unskilled workers to work in their countries. It would be more effective than other forms of international integration such as trade liberalization.

However, the current climate is not very hospitable to this idea because having more uneducated foreign workers in the country probably means more trouble. The governments will have to fork out more resources to deal with the increased criminal and social problems which are not very favorable to the countries' economic growth.

Therefore, this highlights the importance of the need for the help of international agencies to come up with some programs to provide free education for the children in the poor countries. Through education, literacy rates will improve, social problems and crime rates can be reduced, labor productivity will improve, et cetera.

Education will definitely be the best solution for the poor countries to move out of poverty in the long run.
