    POVERTY ALLEVIATION OR POVERTY REDUCTION

    Poverty reduction- is a term that describes the promotion of economic growth that will permanently lift
    as many people as possible over a poverty line. Poverty is the state of human beings who are poor. That
    is, they have little or no material means of surviving food, shelter, clothes, healthcare, education, and
    other physical means of living and improving one’s life.

    Some definitions of poverty, are relative, rather than absolute, poverty reduction would not be
    considered to apply measures which resulted in absolute decreases in living standards, but technically
    lifted people out of poverty.

    Poverty- occurs in both developing countries and developed countries, while poverty is much more
    widespread in developing countries, both types of countries undertake poverty reduction measures.

    Poverty- has historically been accepted in some parts of the world as inevitable as non-industrialized
    economies produced very little while populations grew almost as fast making wealth scare.

    Poverty reduction or poverty alleviation, has been largely as a result of overall economic growth. Food
    shortages were common before modern agricultural technology and in places that lack them today, such
    as nitrogen fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation methods. The dawn of industrial revolution led to high
    economic growth, eliminating mass poverty is economic growth, eliminating mass poverty in what is
    now considered the developed world.

    Today, continued economic development is considered by the lack of economic freedoms. Economic
    liberalization requires extending property rights to the poor, especially to land. Financial services,
    notably savings, can be made accessible to the poor through technology, such as mobile banking.
    Inefficient institutions, corruption and political instability can also discourage investment. Aid and
    government support in health, education and infrastructure helps growth by increasing human by
    physical capital.

    Poverty alleviation- also involves improving the living conditions of people who are already poor. Aid,
    particularly in medical and scientific areas, is essential in providing better lives, such as the Green
    Revolution and the eradication of smallpox. Problems with today’s development aid include the high
    proportion of tied aid, which mandates receiving nations to buy products, often more expensive,
    originating only from the donor countries.

    Nevertheless, some believe (Peter Singer in his book The Life You Can Save) that small changes in the
    way each of us in affluent nations lives our lives could solve world poverty.
