Human poverty is multidimensional in that it severely constrains human choices and results in vulnerability and a perpetuation of inequalities. These inequalities manifest themselves between women and men, rural and urban, developed and underdeveloped regions, and different ethnic groups. Also the unequal incomes around the world can contribute to this poverty. With the high prices and the low income the rich are still getting rich of the poor. There are people these days being paid more for the position they hold than someone else with more experience. Seldom are there inequalities isolated instead they are inter-related and overlapping. It is also apparent that poverty eradication cannot be achieved through sector-specific interventions. Human poverty is both a condition and a process. It does not imply that poor men and women are passive victim of their plight, but rather that they are constantly coping and adapting to, and more importantly fighting, impoverishment process. The WSSD Programme of Action is working to do things to help change this poverty problem we have. Some poverty is due to unemployment and underemployment. The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) are known to be earliest advocates for a SL approach with their emphasis on how households and members within households diversify their activities in order to increase income, reduce vulnerability and improve the quality of their lives.
