This research explores how providing sustainable job opportunities can help end poverty by empowering individuals to support themselves and their families. Aligned with SDG 1: No Poverty, we examine different types of poverty—situational, generational, absolute, and more—to understand its root causes and effects. We also look into practical ways to reduce poverty through education, skill-building, and community efforts. By recognizing our shared responsibility and working together—through actions like donations, job training, and support programs—we can help the less fortunate envision and achieve better futures.
