"We can help tackle global income disparity "

As long as it doesn't involve just giving them money. This experiment has been done in Africa for as long as I can remember and there's only more poverty and a higher birth rate.

"without telling poorer people that they should be happy we're offering them the jobs we don't want to do ourselves"

A corrupt government is usually the reason a country doesn't prosper. There's no jobs because businesses end up just getting ripped off and move elsewhere (along with anyone smart). What's left is a broken infrastructure and abject poverty.

Until this is fixed, things will never change.
