The austerity policies cause big damage to the citizens of the world, a different visión on the factors of production


Today, many countries of the world are subject to austerity policies. These policies generate a big damage to the people: devaluation of the currencies, inflation, decrease of the salaries, unemployment, less health, education and less pensions. Instead of austerity policies, the world requires a monetary policy that guarantee to all citizens of the world the financial resources to satisfy their basic needs.
It is important to say that currently the scarce factor of production are natural resources such as water and oil because man cannot create natural resources, but money really is not a scarce resource, simply because man can create the amount of money to attend the needs of the people; However, understanding this idea in all its implications requires a new and non-traditional way of thinking about the role of money in the economy.
Until now, the economy has considered that the scarce factor of production has been capital and has assumed the abundance of hands to produce, the labor factor, as well as the abundance of natural resources, land factor. But the world reality has shown that natural resources and especially water and oil are and will be scarce resources in the 21st century. This constitutes a total change in the paradigm of the economy, a thesis that is convincingly proven in the book Running Out: How Global Shortages Change the Economic Paradigm (1)

Two programs to reduce global poverty, pollution and unemployment, video


Birth Control and a Global Program of Reforestation to create millions of Green Jobs in the world

Overpopulation is the main cause of the world poverty and pollution


-->
The main cause of the world poverty and pollution is overpopulation because every day the natural resources are and will be scarcer and the financial resources too, due to the austerity policies.
Man really cannot create natural resources as water and oil but if can print the amount of money to solve the needs of the people; however, this require a different manner of to think about the issuance of money in the world.
I believe that to reduce poverty and pollution should be developed two essential programs: a) A Program of Birth Control especially for the undeveloped nations and b) A Global Program of Reforestation to create millions of Green Jobs in the world. The United Nations and the World Bank should be the institutions to develop those programs.

Four priorities and programs for the world development

The most important problems and priorities of the world are: a) overpopulation, b) destruction of nature and the environment, c) poverty d) egoism and lack of social education. Following we will explain each one.
1.       Overpopulation
In the last 100 years the population grew more than in the rest of the humanity history; this has been a consequence of the advance in the science and technology. The trend of high growth has augmented in the recent decades and the perspective is that at mid and long term will be more intense. But the problem is that the resources do not increase in the same proportion.
1.1.  Solution
A solution is to develop a global campaign of education to promote the responsibility and to highlight that a family most have only the number of children that a couple can care, this mean, to feed, educate, to give medical assistance and to assure an appropriate home.
The campaign must be accompanied of concrete medical programs developed by the governments to help the population to reach the objectives.
2.       Destruction of nature and the environment
The world shows evident signs of the nature and environment destruction: climate change, contamination of the sources of water, pollution of the cities and too many other problems that affect the health and quality of life of millions of people.
2.1. Solution
There is no one solution because the environmental problems are innumerable. However, we can do something concrete to help the environment: it is a global program of reforestation, which might contribute to restore the balance of nature and to improve the quality of life of the people. The reforestation is an effective way to diminish the climatic change effects and, moreover, to protect the threatened sources of water.
3.       Poverty
The key to combat the poverty is the employment: good and stable jobs with fair salaries. To reach those objectives would be necessary to carry out three plans: a) a program of job training, b) a program to increase the number of jobs in the economy, that we have denominated the double working-day and the half working-day (1) and c) the creation of millions of ecological employments, through the global program of reforestation proposed in the previous epigraph. The countries might create permanent activities to plant and to keep diverse kind of trees for different uses and this would be a concrete contribution to the solution of the jobless.
4.       Egoism and lack of social education
They are the cause of the most world problems.
4.1. Solution
A solution is to employ the immense power of the mass media to create in the world population attitudes to favor the economic and social development; they are: a) To promote the responsibility in the family that, among other duties, require to have only the number of children that a couple can care, b) to protect nature and the environment, especially, to keep the forests, do not contaminate the sources of water and to do a rational disposal of waste and c) to develop campaigns of public health to teach the population rules to prevent the spread of illnesses.
5.       Conclusion
Of course, these ideas are not the solution of the humanity problems, but its application might create better conditions of life for millions of people worldwide. This kind of initiatives must be promoted by institutions of international influence, like United Nations and the World Bank. Without the sponsorship of those agencies the programs would not be possible. So that in the hands of the leaders of the United Nations, Ban Ki- moon and the World Bank, Jim Yong Kim, is the possibility of to realize these initiatives.

The ecological employments are an effective road for combating the world poverty

The environment crisis because of the contamination and the overexploitation of the natural resources is a reality. The extreme poverty of the world population majority is the other sad situation.
The environment crisis and the poverty are closely tied. A solution for both situations might be possible. The unique manner of resolving the poverty is by mean of the employment. Without employment and just salaries the welfare is not possible.
But the creation of new jobs require three conditions: a) financial support b) natural resources and c) know how (technology). The modern world has scarcity of the two first mentioned resources and a concentration of the third (know how) in the most developed countries.
Which might be the solution?
I think that the creation of millions of green, ecological new jobs is possible in the world. (In this point it is necessary highlight that for achieving this goal we do not need more petroleum.)
How?
First of all it would be necessary to create a Global Program of Employment and Protection of the Environment. This kind of program only can be developed by the international agencies, the United Nations, World Bank and the IMF.
The first action of a program like this must be:
a) To create and to carry out ---with the support of the national governments--- a Global Program of Reforestation. The benefits for humanity of this activity in terms of employment and protection of nature it does not have limits. The creation of millions of new jobs and a great advance in the control of the global warming would be, among other, the results.
b) In a second stage, the Program of Employment and Protection of the Environment might develop other activities, as the developing of new jobs for protecting the water resources and managing the garbage.

The mentioned programs would generate millions of new jobs worldwide; protect the environment and diminishing the world poverty.
I would like that this idea might be considered as a contribution to the next Copenhagen Climate Change Conference in December 2009.
