The essential item producers
and distributors in every nation, inflate the prices of their commodities, to
cover up their mis-management every year, so that more and more people are not
afford to buy them. Thus they create, increase and maintain an expanding “below
poverty line persons in any nation”. My book substantiates this statement,
through verified inference. Also it suggests a dual ratio control on Essential
item producers and distributors, for poverty eradication.
All the species, in this world survived over the generations, by fitting
themselves within the available resources, for many millennium (Darwins’s
theory). But human, because of their intelligence, survived in a 3 dimensional
shell namely (a) The geography and environment
(b) The social influences and (c) The economic infrastructure. By a measure of
the existence of the “Survival of the fittest” in this millennium, their
distribution in the world, the reasons for the hand to mouth living for basic
needs, how people escape from this survival stage, a feasible solution is
arrived to eradicate this poverty stage. Accordingly the methodology is chosen
to pin point each segment of the world population in and under poverty line
using the World Bank survey map, and the Operating ratio as the measure of the
performance of the essential suppliers. Lower ratio represents prosperity, and
the reverse poverty.
India is taken as a representative country for the analysis. Agriculture is
found to be of little value compared to the return on land investment, due to
the absence of mass farming. Milk and other essential items like travel,
textiles and construction are taken as essential items. An analysis of the
government and private sectors indicate that the operating ratio is high. It is
because of their mismanagement, and monopoly status. They keep the citizen as
their captive customers and use price increase as a leverage for their continued
survival. Hence corporate organisations producing and supplying the essential
commodities create, maintain and increase the people below poverty line in any
nation.
Comparatively, this ratio in developed nations are low and under control.
Conversely, the operating ratio of non-essential goods in the developing nations
are low and favourable, because of competition and global business operators.
The golden rule is that the Essential need supplies should keep their Operating
ratio at 75 % or below. In the discussion, the possible the suggested method for
keeping this ratio under control (in a normal and disturbed economic condition)
is found to be through innovation in cost and expense control. The growth rate
of GNP should be equal to the population growth rate OR the population growth
rate should be kept equal or less than the feasible GNP growth rate. This will
eradicate the poverty in the world. This is applicable to all in government,
public or private sectors and all the nations in developed, developing and under
developed bracket of economic status.
