Abstract

Poverty has become a major issue in most developing countries in the world. Under this circumstance, governments in third-world countries perpetually endeavor to introduce many programs in order to control the obnoxious results of poverty. Even though the issue of poverty has been a severe crisis, authorities pay more attention to controlling poverty in society because poverty leads to create many issues not only for individuals but also for the community differently. Even if a government focuses to maintain sustainable development in society, poverty always makes an obstacle to the persistence of society. Even though many approaches have been applied to reduce poverty from society by governments around the world, poverty is a tremendous issue worldwide. Therefore, all governments must focus to find the most suitable and fruitful ways and means to help people in need. In the issue of poverty, a social worker can bear a huge responsibility to intervene for alleviating poverty in society.
