Poor in the city

Villagers come to Dhaka with hopes, thinking a change of location will change their lives as well. They come with their youngsters, who eventually become gangsters, living in the streets.

The best way to make the prospective slum dwellers' life better is to create jobs in their home town/ village. It is the democratic government's duty to protect all rights of its citizens, which of course include the poor people. Solving these problems will take time and needs massive planning. If people of lower classes find a more friendly environment in their own village, I believe they will prefer to stay there.

Sending children to streets and homes for money must be considered as a crime on the part of the parents. Free school hours can be increased to engage children more in schools. These schools may also offer a monthly scholarship for poor children. Their must be an "anti child labour" act to save the children. Free primary schools can be also introduced for street children.
