Full Report

The UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UNDESA) has released a report titled “Rethinking Poverty: Report on the World Social Situation 2010,” which aims to contribute to rethinking poverty and its eradication.

The report seeks to contribute to rethinking poverty and its eradication. It affirms the urgent need for a strategic shift away from the market fundamentalist thinking, policies and practices of recent decades towards more sustainable development- and equity-oriented policies appropriate to national conditions and circumstances. Such national development strategies, as called for by the 2005 World Summit, should seek to achieve the development goals. Responsible development and counter-cyclical macroeconomic policies to foster productive investments and generate decent employment must be at the core of this effort.
