For more than thirty years now, issues arising from unequal
distribution of wealth throughout the world have raised questions on the
objective of continued growth. The concept of “sustainable development” which
was planning to bring together social , economic, and ecological growth was
first introduced in (IUCN, 1980). Today, this concept is the source of strongly
wandering explanations in the field of economic analysis. Godard, 1994, Zaccai,
2002 placed on, the idea that issues concerning sustainable development revolve
around the concept of “sustainability” as much as they do around the concept of
“development.” To provide an idea of the
subject, the concepts were grouped into three bodies of work, the first,
describing the argument of view presented by the prevailing economic theory,
was the base of sustainable growth as a necessary and appropriate condition for
sustainable development; second, based
on the ecologist notion of limits to growth, endeavors to establish the
socio-environmental restrictions surrounded by economic development must take
place: third, addressing issues informed
by the Third World experience, focuses on social inequalities and
questions meaning of concept of growth. An economist prepares
policy on poverty eradication programmes to minimize social inequalities. The
Millennium Development Goal (MDG) goal number one is end poverty in all its
forms everywhere. Target of halving extreme poverty by the end of 2015 has been
met, as the percentage of people living on less than USD 1.25 (purchasing power
parity) per day (the extreme poverty line for 2005) in developing sections fell
by more than half from 1990 to 2010. In 1995 United Nations (UN) defined Extreme poverty as "a condition
characterized by severe deprivation
of basic human needs, comprising of food, safe drinking water, sanitation
facilities, health, shelter, education and information. With government effort
global poverty rates have been reduced by more than half since 2000, one person
in ten people in emergent economy are still in deprivation and living with
their families on less than the international poverty line of US$1.90 a day,
and there are more than millions who make little more than this daily amount as
specified as standards. If we talk about the Major advancement, it is found movement
has been made in many countries within Eastern and Southeastern Asia, but if we
talk about population in Sub-Saharan Africa it continues up to 42% still are
living below the poverty line.Sadest part is Poverty is more than the lack of
income and resources to ensure a sustainable livelihood of the people and that
is due to lack of knowledge. Its indicators include hunger and malnutrition,
limited access to resources, education and other basic amenities, social acumen
and exclusion as well as the lack of participatory approach in decision-making.
Economic growth must be address inclusive growth to provide sustainable jobs
and promote equality and responsible for around development. Social protection
systems need to be implemented which is required helping the suffering of
disaster-prone countries and providing support as preventive measure to face of
great economic risks. These systems will help strengthen responses by afflicted
populations to unexpected economic losses during disasters and will eventually
help to end extreme poverty in the most impoverished areas. Due to worldwide
needs eradicating poverty continues to be a major challenge and thus it was consider
as a central goal of the post-2015 development agenda. An estimated 1.2 billion
people in developing countries still deprived of basic necessities and live in
extreme poverty. Without addressing issues of poverty, malnutrition and hunger
no country can develop its economy or humanresource.so looking into the
importance of it the agenda 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development focus on end
of poverty in all respect.
