                      ●  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.

                             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.
