It's no secret that the world has a serious poverty issue, according to the United Nations, 700 million people live in extreme poverty conditions.
United Nations defined extreme poverty as "a condition characterized by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education and information. It depends not only on income but also on access to services"
Poverty is an extremely complicated issue which has many causes, which has make it difficult to solve, however, the world has made great progress on reducing the global percentage of people living under poverty and extreme poverty conditions, unfortunately there are situations that are unpredictable such as the COVID-19 pandemic, which has already caused thousands of persons to lose their income,
Two of the most effective ways in which the world has helped reducing poverty is by making education more accessible and also by continuously creating jobs, which has been working, but is still limited.
In order to speed up the reduction of poverty, one of the things that needs to be done, is to have business models that allow companies to share their wealth with others, one of the ways in which it can be done is with software, making sure the platforms we develop have in-platform functionalities that allow users to earn money, with a business model focused on helping all users succeed, this is where platforms such as FairPlayTube come to the rescue, FairPlayTube is more than just a video sharing platform, it is also a job marketplace.
