Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Unlocking the Chain of Poverty: In Pursuit of the American Dream, is a book of guts, survival, and the will to persevere against all odds. It chronicled a Filipino immigrant’s exploits in the US who reluctantly immigrated to the US with his wife and five of their six children at a time of declining global economy in the 1990’s. It actually captured how a family of seven with children ages 4 to 16 started a life in the US with very minimal assistance from immediate family members but friends and yet succeeded in realizing the American Dream... the hard way! It echoed Hillary Clinton’s book, “It Takes a Village: and Other Lessons Children Teach,” theme that applied to all kinds of successes and failures on the outcome of the child. The book, published in 1996, captured Hillary’s vision for the children of America focusing on the impact individuals and groups outside the family, have, for better or for worse, on a child’s well-being, and advocates of society meets all of a child’s needs. It also showcased how necessity played a vital role in their lives prompting them to work harder and chased every opportunity that came their way in order to make a living and bring food to the table. The book also exemplified how love and understanding evolved within the family that had to weather the effects of the ailing economy to be able to survive. All it needed to succeed, ultimately, was hard work, strong commitment, having a very supportive wife, strong belief in God, and the will to move on and pursue one’s goals.

Download or read book Breaking the Poverty Cycle written by Susan Pick de Weiss and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Pick and Sirkin show how IMIFAP, a Mexican NGO, has employed a development strategy to encourage the establishment of a participatory, healthy and educated citizenry. The program strategy is grounded in Amartya Sen's approach to sustainable development through expanding individual's capabilities and freedoms. It presents the Framework for Enabling Empowerment (FrEE) and the step by step strategy "Programming for Choice," based on the practical experience and evaluation of IMIFAP's programs. The end goal is to achieve sustainable community and individual development that can be expanded across a variety of life domains (social, economic, political, education, health and psychological). The book shows how community development can be enhanced if people are enabled to make accountable choices and expand their alternatives. International development efforts will not be sustainable if we continue to build schools without quality teachers; health clinics without enhancing logistical and psychological access and improving quality of care; and laws that are not enforced. Institutions will only flourish if their leaders and bureaucrats enhance their personal capabilities. The central premise of the book is that enhancing skills, knowledge and reducing psychological and contextual barriers to change are central (and often neglected) aspects of sustainable development. IMIFAP was founded in 1984. Through its health promotion and poverty reduction work it has reached over 19 million people in 14 countries through over 40 different programs and over 280 educational materials with support from over 300 funding agencies and government and private institutions. Its mission is to enable society's poor and vulnerable to take charge of their lives through helping them develop their potential. We have found that through the IMIFAP "I want to, I can" programs people take the control of their lives in their own hands. Examples of these results are presented including numerous testimonies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are poor in some ramifications of life? Have you lost hope in becoming wealthy? In 2018, when I graduated from a university, I was wondering how people become wealthy in life and prosper. "Wealthy" in this context not necessarily having luxury, but becoming wealthy in different ramifications of life. I became disturbed, because I grew up in a less privileged environment. Until in 2020, when I met a mentor who directed me on what to do. I have now improved on my mentality of wealthiness.

Download or read book Unlocking Private Investment in Sustainable Infrastructure in Asia written by Bhajan Grewal and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-10-24 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Investment in infrastructure is essential for promoting economic growth, and while countries in Asia have enjoyed higher rates of gross domestic product growth in recent years, the region remains severely deficient in the scale and quality of sustainable infrastructure. Moreover, population growth and climate change continue to put increasing pressure on the need for strategic and farsighted development, calling for policy makers to reevaluate infrastructure governance to ensure sustainable economic growth. Currently, in developing Asia, most investment in infrastructure comes from the public sector. However, with growing fiscal deficits and other budgetary constraints, it is essential to develop alternative sources of investment for infrastructure projects. This presents opportunities to tap into the private sector, which can play an instrumental role in minimizing the funding gap through the development of stronger, more transparent public–private partnerships (PPPs) and incentivizing sustainable infrastructure investment. This book provides a scholarly discussion on the importance of PPPs and approaches to unlock private participation in infrastructure investment based on lessons from across Asia. Among the proposed schemes are government tax incentives, development-based land value capture strategy under PPP land pooling, Viability Gap Funds, Project Development Facilities, and other guarantees. The book aims to assess the impacts and future of sustainable infrastructure investments and examines the role of governments in mobilizing financial resources and new models for unlocking private investment in sustainable infrastructure. This book consists of fifteen original chapters on the experiences of the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) and a few other cases for promoting private investment in sustainable infrastructure. The fact that not much has been published previously on this theme makes this book a welcome and timely addition to the much needed knowledge on this subject. ‘The Open Access version of this book, available at www.taylor fran cis.com, has been made available under a Creative Commons Attribution- Non- Commercial- No Derivatives 4.0 license.’

Download or read book Escaping Poverty written by Calvin Morris and published by Calvin Morris. This book was released on 2019-04-05 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: To be trapped in poverty is to be trapped in something that you never chose to be in, so it's understandable why so many people are desperate to escape. In this step-by-step guide to escaping poverty, Calvin Morris explains why the four categories may be the only way out. The difference between those who escape and those who don't, may have little to do with how smart they are and more to do with how well they understand the four categories. In this well thought out book, the path to freedom reveals itself to those who truly want to escape. As Morris combines his own experience with the experience of over a hundred other highly successful people -- people who were interviewed for this book, he gives the world a truly workable strategy for escaping poverty. The prison that seems inescapable can be escaped by first learning the principles in this book, then by using those principles to free yourself from the devices that are holding you back. In his own thought-provoking way, Morris introduces the world to what he considers to be the fastest way to break free. His informative and engaging text provides what he argues is a clear advantage to those who want to escape poverty. Some of the topics include: Believing in Yourself Getting the Job You Need Handling Money Making Good Decisions Good and Bad Relationships Taking Advice From Others Staying the Course Avoiding Mistakes Escaping Poverty: The Four Categories is a powerful, life changing book that should be passed on for generations to come. This book is a must read for you if you haven't quite figured out how to distance yourself from poverty. If you have friends, kids, relatives, or co-workers who feel trapped in poverty, then giving them this book might be the deed that breaks them free.
Download or read book Poverty Traps written by Samuel Bowles and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 251 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Much popular belief--and public policy--rests on the idea that those born into poverty have it in their power to escape. But the persistence of poverty and ever-growing economic inequality around the world have led many economists to seriously question the model of individual economic self-determination when it comes to the poor. In Poverty Traps, Samuel Bowles, Steven Durlauf, Karla Hoff, and the book's other contributors argue that there are many conditions that may trap individuals, groups, and whole economies in intractable poverty. For the first time the editors have brought together the perspectives of economics, economic history, and sociology to assess what we know--and don't know--about such traps. Among the sources of the poverty of nations, the authors assign a primary role to social and political institutions, ranging from corruption to seemingly benign social customs such as kin systems. Many of the institutions that keep nations poor have deep roots in colonial history and persist long after their initial causes are gone. Neighborhood effects--influences such as networks, role models, and aspirations--can create hard-to-escape pockets of poverty even in rich countries. Similar individuals in dissimilar socioeconomic environments develop different preferences and beliefs that can transmit poverty or affluence from generation to generation. The book presents evidence of harmful neighborhood effects and discusses policies to overcome them, with attention to the uncertainty that exists in evaluating such policies.
