The goal of the process is to provide poor peope, now identified as people whose income is less than 1.25 dollars - an unacceptable income rate for survival, the materials so that they can escape their situations.
Natural when we think of poverty, we think of nearly humanitarian crisis where hunger and famine as well as conflict exist. However, that is not the entire story to poverty alleviation. There needs to be some schemes and better knowledge on how to provide poor people the capacity to fight back with uncertainty. As a result of this demands, study of human capital acquisition is importance. One of the most relevant human decision in this realm is the decision to shift occupations.
