GLOBAL EFFORTS TO REDUCE POVERTY: EXAMPLES FROM FOREIGN COUNTRIES

Abstract

This study explores poverty reduction efforts in various foreign countries, including Brazil, China, India, Rwanda, Scandinavian countries, Germany, France, and South Korea. The research utilizes a comparative analysis approach to examine diverse strategies ranging from conditional cash transfers, rural development, microfinance, agricultural investment, comprehensive welfare systems, human capital development, and industrialization. The findings indicate that effective poverty reduction requires context-specific strategies, political will, and sustained commitment. The study underscores the importance of systemic changes, such as improving education, healthcare, and economic opportunities, to prevent the recurrence of poverty. The research also emphasizes the value of international collaboration and knowledge sharing in enhancing global poverty reduction efforts.
