Too old not enough money because lost skills. Government Anti Poverty Progams such as welfare, security pension, unemployment insurance and others try help out the poor or disadvantaged however I believe that this is the wrong approach. You got to follow the saying Give a man a fish he will have food for a day, teach a man to fish he will have food for life Let old people do the sit down jobs and young people do the labour.
