| 總結: | Over the years, countries all over the world have achieved a marked increase in their
economic growth rates as reflected in their respective GNPs and GDPs. The entry of the
Millennium Development Goals in 2000 accelerated the achievement of various goals, most
remarkably improvements in education and health outcomes in developing countries.
However, despite this catalyst, the poor, vulnerable, and disadvantaged populations continue
to benefit little from these progresses which do not seem to trickle down to the individual
level. In addition, this sector of society is struggling to escape from the vicious and
intergenerational cycle of poverty. This is where the government and its social protection
systems come in. Social protection systems, according to the World Bank, help the poor and
vulnerable “mitigate economic and fiscal shocks”i, and at the same time, gives them “a chance
to climb out of poverty”.ii Given this context, which is also supported by various studies -
social protection systems are the way out from intergenerational cycle of poverty through investments in human capital development. |
