● Selected goals and strategies for poverty reduction:
• Fewer children growing up in poverty - increase pupil performance in schools through
youth projects, interventions to help youth, clubs for children, financial and legal
literacy.
• Fewer homeless people - keep the proportion of social housing at a set threshold,
social housing masterplans, free advice for borrowers.
• Reduce health inequalities for vulnerable groups and people with disabilities.
• Political commitments, social policy, resource mobilisation, support for
disadvantaged localities.
● Related issues with corporate practice (Examples of good practice):
• To inspire practice and show examples of how business can support and help
achieve goals (finding inspirational cases).
• The relationship between population growth and poverty (e.g. population growth,
demographic transition, population rejuvenation means demand for new jobs, link to
changes in consumption patterns).
• Introducing and consolidating fair rewards, benefits that contribute to the economic
well-being of employees. Because wage and income distribution are essential to
eliminate inequality and poverty.
