Description

Poverty has been one of the major human insecurities throughout history. It became more evident in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution. Though economic growth was suggested as an effective mechanism for poverty eradication, it severely increased inequality together with poverty. Realizing the importance of poverty eradication for human well-being, the United Nations initiated many policies and programs including Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Based on the framework of MDGs, the SDGs was moving towards the achievement of no poverty by 2030. But the Covid-19 pandemic slowed this pace, demanding more earnest effort from the international community. This chapter, in this perspective, using critical analytical method examines the possibility of human security approachs sustainable human development model for the realization of SDG1. The chapter advances human securitys all-inclusive and comprehensive human-centered sustainable development model as an effective mechanism for poverty eradication in the entire globe.
