United Nations Against Poverty: Addressing Rural-Urban Nexus in Social Protection
Abstract
Social protection is one of the key solutions to alleviate poverty and to increase the productivity of populations. However, the intertwined nexus of rural-urban development should be concerned when it comes to the problems’ resolution. The United Nations agreed upon the SDGs and establish UNDP back in the 90s to alleviate poverty and achieving the set 5Ps. However, many systemic and structural challenges impact the people’s livelihood about the social protection issues. Multilateral and national engagement should be more people-oriented and able to address the new challenges especially during the global recovery against the Covid-19 pandemic. This article discuss how the interchangeable notion of rural-urban development, urban bias, transmigration, multilateral cooperation, and other welfare concerns should be considered when resolving the challenges of social protection for the people.
