    Study Notes

    Global Social Work and Poverty

    • The global society allows for local and global responses to address the conditions of global citizens.
    • The number of people living in extreme poverty, on less than $1.90 per person per day, was declining for almost 25 years, but this trend was interrupted in 2020 due to the COVID-19 crisis, conflict, and climate change.
    • Factors contributing to the rise in poverty include decreased income, unemployment, and the hardest hit being those living in urban areas, leading to increased inequality.
    • Governments can mitigate the impact of rising inflation on poor families through social protection policies, but their finances have been depleted due to COVID-19.
    • The uneven impact of global problems is attributed to the uneven development of nations and the presence of failed states and conflict.
    • Many countries are vulnerable due to geographical conditions and are more prone to the effects of global issues such as conflict and climate change.
