In this Subchapter the issues of hunger and poverty, how they are measured, to what extent they affect the world population of the economically most backward countries are addressed. Many cross-country poverty studies measure the poverty using the criterion of those living on less than US$1 a day - the threshold defined by the international community as constituting extreme poverty. In the text specific economic tools in order to succeed in alleviating these situations of economic and social hardship are offered. At the EU level, the Europe 2020 strategy set a target to reduce poverty by at least 20 million by 2020, which has not been achieved. The UN believes that reducing child mortality depends on reducing inequality by helping the most vulnerable infants, children, and mothers. The COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating existing inequalities, hitting the poor and most excluded hardest, and pushing new people into poverty. This Subchapter easily explains how important and fundamental it is to develop tools aimed at reducing poverty, especially in countries where people live below these thresholds. The goal is to explain how the vicious circle of malnutrition and poverty can be broken and how, by using different approaches for different countries, zero poverty and hunger could decrease by 2030, in order to achieve Sustainable Development. The Subchapter also contains case studies of the poorest countries in the world and offers appropriate conclusions for overcoming the global problem of poverty and hunger.(original abstract)
