The big problems are structural. And the first structure that needs to be fixed is your belief system, which supports the existing structure.
Start with the word "developing nation". I believe that is a racist term that is used to cover for gross inequality of resource distribution between relatively rich nations and poor ones.
Social Darwinism is another belief system that causes quite a few problems. Basically, anyone who isn't doing well financially, at a root level, many believe that they should either die, or live in squalor, because obviously they have little worth to society. People won't say that outright, but when you get right down to the details, most believe that.
You really have to look at the function of money in society and how it connects to the structural belief frameworks.
Also, in the existing framework, the general availability and buying power of money (which currently has been going down for some time) affects everything and everyone.
The _vast_ majority of people on this planet do not have any security for basic necessities. That is a result of the basic organizational principles of our "civilization". And the belief system assumes they are inferior and that helping that majority of people is a charity effort.
I look to technology to continue to mitigate these structural/cultural problems.
