授業の目的 【英語】
Goals of the Course | | | This course reviews changing debates on poverty and poverty reduction in a global context. First, we examine how poverty has been conceptualised and measured, and what changes have been made more recently in the geography of poverty. Second, we examine the concept and practice of social protection for the poor in developing countries. We conduct a role playing debate on what sort of programme design would be effective to achieve maximum results for social protection for poor people. Third, we look into the changing role of business in poverty reduction associated with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). |
