Economics Student Community, Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Gadjah Mada, will organize the Study and Discussion Forum in Economics 2012. An international essay competition will be held with the topic “Dreaming the World Without Poverty.”
Poverty is a phenomenon that affects many aspects of life in almost every country in the world. However, it is not impossible to eradicate; in fact, some countries have succeeded in improving their people’s living standards. Looking at how countries have improved, do you think it is possible to end poverty entirely? Please express your opinion on how to create a world without poverty, including examples from cases, studies, or research that you wish to engage in.
