The Poverty Puzzle: Solutions for Today’s World

The Poverty Puzzle explores the complex causes and consequences of poverty beyond stereotypes and surface explanations. This book examines poverty as a multidimensional issue shaped by economic systems, education, health, policy, and social inequality—not individual failure.
Written for students, educators, and socially aware readers, the book focuses on awareness and understanding rather than blame. It highlights how structural barriers, limited opportunities, and unequal access to resources trap individuals and communities in cycles of deprivation, while also examining pathways toward meaningful solutions.
Key areas covered include:
• Structural causes of poverty
• Education, health, and economic inequality
• Intergenerational poverty and social mobility
• Myths and misconceptions about poverty
• Awareness, policy, and community-based responses
The Poverty Puzzle helps readers see poverty not as a single problem with simple answers, but as a puzzle that requires informed, collective action to solve.
Understanding poverty is the first step
toward breaking its cycle.
