Eradication of poverty in the world: evaluation of progress and financing trends

Abstract

The article analyzes the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals for the eradication of poverty in the world and by regions in 2000 - 2020. Significant progress has been made in reducing the share of the employed population living below the poverty line in the world as a whole. Uneven progress has been identified in reducing the share of the employed population below the poverty line by region (reductions in East Asia, Southeast Asia, Central Asia, South Asia, Oceania, sub-Saharan Africa; increases in West Asia, North Africa, and Latin America and the Caribbean); uneven progress in social protection assistance (increase in the share of the population covered by at least one type of social protection assistance in South Asia, East Asia, Oceania and Sub-Saharan Africa; reduction in South-East Asia, North Africa, Latin America and the Caribbean, Central and Western Asia). There has been an improvement in the results of access to basic services for the poorest sections of the population (increase in the share of the population using basic drinking water services, access to basic sanitation services) with a simultaneous slowdown in access to basic services by region since 2010. A sharp reduction during 2000-2019 in the provision of official development assistance to developed countries aimed at reducing poverty. Measures have been identified in the field of financing poverty eradication programs (intensification of international cooperation for development) (implementation of indicators of official development assistance by developed countries), implementation of effective measures in the areas of domestic public resources, private business).
