Summary / Abstract (Note) | POVERTY as a complicated economic and social phenomenon with a frequently decisive political impact has traveled a long road to arrive at the top of international agenda. The international community recognized it as a worldwide phenomenon inherited from the distant past and the tribal system which has survived millennia to become the only mode of life for the majority of those living on Earth on the brink of physiological survival. Poverty is a sign of inadequate economic development and an unfair distribution of the national income. |
