Sustainable Livelihoods | Golden Age

Sustainable livelihoods is a concept that emerges at the intersection of development and environmental studies, focusing on the ability of individuals and communities to provide for themselves in a viable and long-term manner. The term reflects a concern with extending the focus of poverty studies beyond physical manifestations to include vulnerability and social exclusion. According to some sources, poverty remains a significant issue worldwide. The concept of sustainable livelihoods has been influenced by various development approaches. The World Bank has played a significant role in promoting the concept of sustainable livelihoods, through its support for initiatives such as the Sustainable Livelihoods Approach.
