Why is this a problem? I just can't see any indication of problem here, this is just supply vs demand: world is globalized now and most of what uneducated people could do can be imported from much cheaper places. If we started to look hard for 'fixes' for this we'd end up just breaking the economy. Force businesses to pay them more and even more of these job will evaporate, because there will be no point any longer. And most of these jobs will be automated away anyway.

My advice is: invest money into better law enforcement, including ML and AI-based, like crime prediction and drones. Make sure, by a combination of legislative and informal methods, that poor and well to do communities are better separated from each other. Invest more in stuff which gives poor people something to fill their time with, like video games, so they don't do as much crime. And that's it.

You just described every dystopian sci-fi film ever. And I think you can figure out what happens in the end.
