Poverty reduction

2002). Reducing child labour could logically have positive run-on effects such as leading to more adults joining the productive labour force. However, it could have unintended negative impacts for children from families that don’t fall below the poverty threshold, leading to more non-participant children taking up productive labour (Yapa et al: 2002). While the programme can intuitively be seen as a positive development for improving the uptake of education, time spent in school will have no…

topic of poverty alleviation as a strategy to combat environmental degradation, I insist to the Director of the Africa Division and senior policy advisors of the World Bank that this strategy is worthwhile and that poverty alleviation is a strong method that would aid in the fight against environmental degradation. At the macro level, when a nation or nation-state, such as Haiti, is in poverty conditions, they must resort to short-sighted or short-term decisions to survive. In extreme poverty…

3. The volume of foreign aid is inadequate to reduce global poverty. According to Lovett (2016), in 2014, overall foreign aid has increase by 3.5% (compare to the volume in 2013), but the volume of aid for Least Developed Countries had fallen by 4.6%.

Imagine a world where rivers are a clear blue, grasses green, and wildlife is abundant. Think about what it would be like if there was no poverty and everyone lived in harmony. All of this is possible through sustainable development.

When comparing…

Qualities such as "experiences of social exclusion and vulnerability, the denial of human rights, right to health care, lack of empowerment, opportunity, capacity and security" (Sicchia, 2006) define a much more broader term that set poverty as a lifestyle with minimal escape. This…
