This conference’s focus is on issues of poverty and its eradication, social inequality, race relations and policy management and mismanagement with an international perspective. As poverty continues to be an ongoing, often-inhumane problem, this conference aims to provide a comparative perspective in analyzing past/current trends and conditions to better understand the never-ending downward spiral many individuals and families find themselves in.
Poverty and Social Protection Conference addresses questions regarding the role and importance of equal distribution of resources and social inclusion. The potential roles and impacts less-developed countries have on politics, business, education and the public sector. In addition, major social and economic trends and their potential for poverty reduction.
PSPC also addresses many effects of poverty, rural development, including social isolation, human trafficking, displacement, suicide and homelessness, poverty reduction strategies, economic growth, free market, fair trade, social aid and the unavoidable effects of globalization.
