Yes, but increasing inequality is making it impossible to rise out of poverty.
Average wages are rising across the Western world, but mainly because the super rich are raking it in; actual pay for the great majority is static, and compounded by worse access to education, housing, water and healthcare.
I agree that this could all be sorted out, but there's only one country with the will to tackle these thorny issues, and that's China!
