Understanding the complex dimensions of global poverty is crucial for tackling its diverse challenges. While poverty manifests differently across regions and countries, several common factors contribute to its multi-dimensional nature on a global scale. Delving into these dimensions provides insights essential for crafting effective policies and interventions to address its root causes.
The editors of Understanding the Multi-Dimensional Nature of Poverty take a holistic approach to poverty, recognizing interconnected factors. By viewing poverty beyond income alone, the authors in this collection aid in developing more effective strategies for combating poverty and fostering a fairer, more prosperous future. The work begins with a historical perspective on poverty measurement, then introduces multidimensional poverty, with case studies on income and educational disparities, inadequate healthcare, and successful health interventions in impoverished settings. It also examines the impacts of discriminatory practices on women and marginalized groups, and offers sustainable livelihood approaches for poverty reduction.
This edited collection is designed for a diverse audience interested in gaining a comprehensive understanding of poverty and exploring effective strategies for poverty alleviation. Students pursuing degrees in social sciences, international development, public policy, and related disciplines will find the book to be an informative and accessible resource for enhancing their knowledge of poverty and development issues.
