SOC 450 Millennium Development Goals Discussion
The Pledge to Eliminate Poverty
Part 1:
As Hite and Seitz (2016) discuss in Chapter 2: Wealth and Poverty, the Millennium Development Goals were created to provide developing countries support through the partnership of developed countries. The first goal is to “eradicate extreme poverty and hunger” in the world.
According to the textbook, population is still increasing in the world’s poorest regions. Take a look at the Millennium Development Goals report (https://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/2015_MDG_Report/pdf/MDG%202015%20rev%20(July%201).pdf).
The report notes that progress in reducing extreme hunger is uneven across regions and countries. Looking at the graph on page 14 of the report, which countries have the least reduction in extreme hunger? Which countries have the greatest reduction in extreme hunger? What factors contribute to this uneven progress? What are some possible strategies for creating more progress in these countries?
Part 2 (Respond to a peer):
Review the posts of your classmates and respond to at least one other post, offering a substantive comment on that classmate’s position on the
Peer’s post:
“Good afternoon, Professor and classmates.
Based on the information in the Millennium Development Goals report, those countries living on less than $1.25 per day are included in extreme hunger. The countries with the lowest reduction in extreme hunger are those located in Sub-Saharan Africa.
Their reduction was just 28% from 1990 to 2015 with the reductions starting in 2002. That is 40% less than the whole world. While those with the greatest reduction in extreme hunger can be found across Asia; Southern Asia is at 66% reduction from 1990 to 2015, Southern Asia (excluding India) is at 73% reduction, South-Eastern Asia is al 84% reduction, and Eastern Asia is at 94% reduction in extreme hunger.
The poor and hungry are distributed unevenly across the world. Some of the factors that contribute to this uneven progress are the increase in women led households when women have “unequal access to paid work, lower earnings, lack of social protection and limited access to assets, including land and property (https://www.un.org/millenniumgoals/2015_MDG_Report/pdf/MDG%202015%20rev%20(July%201).pdf).”
Another factor is conflict. Over 60 million people had to abandon their homes due to conflict, by the end of 2014. Your home is where your value is, when you have to evacuate, you lose that. In addition, the geographic region can add to the poverty level. Countries that have access to the oceans or water, are better able to develop and have a sustainable agriculture, too. The Sub-Saharan countries are mostly desert and rural areas. If there was better agriculture this would boost the country’s ability to eradicate poverty.”
