Abstract

ABSTRACT This study compares international experiences in how the poor are fighting poverty. The study data are derived from clients participating in the Poverty Stoplight program where clients create the set of indicators defining multidimensional poverty. Clients then create a plan to change a set of indicators in order to raise themselves out of poverty. By comparing efforts across three countries, the study analyzes the diversity of contexts in light of the United Nations sustainable development goal to ”end poverty in all its forms everywhere” that must necessarily account for this diversity.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
