You can't solve either problem, but you can certainly mitigate them. But what's needed (above ll else) is the political will to do so and an understanding that a) there are no easy solutions and that b) merely throwing money at the problem is not an answer in itself. Which government, I ask, had the better record on this matter: the 1945-51 Labour government in Britain (which operated in a climate of severe financial austerity) or the Johnson administration in the 1960s (which certainly did not).
