Poverty, Marginalization and Vulnerability in a Post-Pandemic World

About this book

Examining poverty, inequality, and marginalization across diverse global contexts, this volume provides evidence-based analysis of COVID-19's profound impact on economic, political, and social structures worldwide, offering critical insights into post-pandemic recovery strategies. Through ten comprehensive case studies spanning Asia, Africa, Latin America, and North America, contributors explore pressing issues including maternal health inequities through caste lenses in India, protective environments for street children in the Democratic Republic of Congo, resilience among homeless Filipino youth, marginalized communities in Southern African cities, poverty trajectories in Ghana, digital divides in Peru, diaspora consolidation among Haitian-Americans in New York, indigenous empowerment in Indonesia, and social amelioration programs in the Philippines. Each chapter delivers actionable recommendations grounded in local realities while addressing global challenges of rising inequality, social unrest, and economic disruption. The volume demonstrates how COVID-19 has exacerbated existing disparities while revealing pathways toward more equitable recovery. This book is essential reading for policymakers, social work practitioners, development professionals, researchers, and students seeking to understand and address poverty, inequality, and marginalization in the post-pandemic era. Directly aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals—particularly SDG 1 (No Poverty), SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), and SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities)—the content serves undergraduate and postgraduate courses in social work, social welfare, social development, sociology, public health, and related disciplines, as well as specialized courses and electives on SDGs offered globally.
