Inhaltsangabe
Poverty alleviation in the era of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is shaped by various legal, policy, and socio-cultural factors. Systemic, intersectional forces continually perpetuate marginalization and inequality, making poverty a multifaceted deprivation of rights, access, capabilities, and dignity. Global organizations now push toward sustainable development and progress, as national and local actors interpret and implement development goals with particular focus on community agency, participatory governance, and cultural resilience. Further exploration may reveal how dimensions such as caste, race, gender, disability, and geographic location converge to create differentiated experiences of poverty and development, creating an understanding of both vulnerability and resistance within impoverished communities. SDG Frameworks for Poverty Alleviation explores how poverty is conceptualized and operationalized within the SDG framework, analyzing international instruments and global compacts shaping national poverty eradication strategies. It examines the role of traditional knowledge, cultural practice, and local economies in shaping sustainable development models, addressing social barriers and providing insights into policy and legal reforms centering community agency and resilience. This book covers topics such as intersectionality, sociology, and digital technology, and is a useful resource for business owners, government officials, policymakers, academicians, researchers, and scientists.
