"THE ROLE OF EDUCATION IN MITIGATING POVERTY: A COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS."

Abstract

This article examines the role of education as a critical tool for mitigating poverty across different socioeconomic contexts. By comparing educational systems and policies in various countries, the study highlights the effectiveness of education in enhancing economic opportunities and social mobility. It explores the mechanisms through which education impacts poverty reduction, including skill development, job creation, and community empowerment. The analysis emphasizes the need for inclusive and equitable education policies to address systemic barriers faced by marginalized populations. The findings underscore that while education is a vital component in combating poverty, it must be complemented by comprehensive social and economic strategies to achieve sustainable outcomes.
