The 2030 Agenda says that ending poverty in all its forms，including extreme poverty（极度贫困），is the greatest task．Because 1.4 billion people in developing countries live on less than ﹩1.25 a day．Another 842 million people，or one in eight people，do not have enough to eat，today．
The good news is that there are ways to end poverty．
Creating jobs，both in the United States and abroad，is a great way to deal with poverty．When people have jobs，they have money，and when people have money，they can more easily get themselves out of poverty．The U．N．says that "For the poor，labor is often the only thing they can use to improve their well﹣being．"
The education of girls and women impacts（影响）the rest of the societies．A woman's degree of education is linked to the age at which she marries and has children，to her health and diseases．Educating girls and women can end poverty in developing nations，as well as in the United States．
The United States hasn't raised the lowest pay since 2007．Because of this，right now，"A full﹣time worker with two children getting the lowest pay will still raise his or her family in poverty．"And this is a problem in almost every other country，especially in developing nations．Raising the lowest pay could possibly increase the health and well﹣being of millions．
The president of the World Bank，Jim Yong Kim，says that he believes "health care covering in all countries can help achieve a goal of ending extreme poverty by 2030．" He says that health care could end poverty．Because about 100 million people are pushed into extreme poverty every year by having to spend money on health problems，and health problems push about another 150 million into very serious hardship．
These ways to end poverty show that while there is a difficult road ahead，there is a practical path forward．
