Understanding Global Poverty

In a world where the ripple effects of economic instability, climate shifts, and migration touch every corner of the map, understanding global poverty is no longer optional—it is a civic necessity. Understanding Global Poverty pulls back the curtain on the most significant human challenge of the 21st century, moving past headlines to examine the raw data, the $3.00-a-day reality, and the remarkable progress that has redefined entire continents. From the “miracle” recoveries in East Asia to the complex fragility of Sub-Saharan Africa, this course provides a rigorous, region-by-region autopsy of how poverty functions and why its eradication is the linchpin of global stability. This isn’t just a study of hardship; it’s a masterclass in global interconnectedness, designed for those who refuse to be bystanders in the face of inequality.
