Education on Poverty and Social Inequality Course
What will I learn?
This course covers the definitions, historical roots, and theoretical frameworks of poverty and social inequality, then builds your ability to measure and interpret key metrics like the Gini coefficient and the Multidimensional Poverty Index. You will analyse the structural drivers of poverty, including labour markets, housing, healthcare, and wealth concentration, and examine how race, gender, disability, and migration shape inequality. The curriculum surveys major policy responses, from social protection systems to taxation and labour protections, and extends the analysis to global trade, aid, and climate vulnerability. You will also develop hands-on skills in community assessment, participatory research, data communication, and multi-level advocacy strategy.
