Out-of-Poverty Coordination Games
Challenges Entered:
To the individual in poverty, the paths out are unknown. In this situation and alone, he can only try directions out. If he is repeatedly disappointed in his attempts, he caves in. He cannot get out. In opposition, individuals can develop strategies where they share their findings, coordinate their decisions and explore together their ways out.
In job games, possibilities hide on the neighborhood (they are courses, certifications, schools), and we build skills to find jobs. In housing games, possibilities hide on the neighbors and we use each other's skills to repair our homes (with mutually benefiting plans).
