Abstract:
Recent changes in the governance regime for English local authorities mean that they can choose tackling child poverty as a key indicator of their success. One in three has done so, with others having chosen related indicators. Although many of the levers required to meet the national objective of eradicating child poverty lie at the UK level, local authorities have a key role in helping to ensure that services are effective in targeting poverty. This article introduces the Child Poverty Toolkit website and explores what localising the national child poverty target may mean.

Abstract:
India's informal sector faces issues like irregular work schedules, wage theft, and sexual harassment, particularly among women in construction. Rapid industrialization and urbanization accelerate women's migration, resulting in inadequate remuneration and health hazards. Women's empowerment and the fight against poverty depend heavily on education and empowerment. This research looks at women's political knowledge and engagement in the Vellore District of Tamil Nadu. It focuses on issues related to money and career, political preferences, voting behavior, and perspectives from the constructio

There is no gainsaying that the Northeast of Nigeria is extensively riddled by extreme views and violence, oiled by poverty, literacy disconnect, unregulated radical clerics, ungoverned spaces, widening literacy gap, and unemployment confronting the population and these further aggravate the vulnerability of Nigeria’s national security. It was against this background that this study adopted the reintegrative shaming theory to investigate the nexus between deradicalisation and national security.

Tourism development is often used as a strategy to fight poverty, but in the tourism literature it remains controversial as a tool for poverty alleviation in a poor region. This study adopts a multidimensional framework to measure regional poverty. Specifically, we examine four dimensions, including economics, education, social security, and medical service, to reflect poverty alleviation for a region. Then we establish econometric models to explore the link between tourism and poverty alleviation. The result shows that tourism development has a positive influence on multidimensional poverty a
