Economic Challenges:
Poverty and Unemployment:
Lack of access to resources, jobs, and income-generating
opportunities can lead to poverty and food insecurity.
Low Wages and Informal Work:
Many people are employed in low-paying jobs or the informal
sector, lacking social security and facing exploitation.
Market Instability and Volatility:
Fluctuations in prices, access to markets, and competition
can disrupt livelihoods, especially for those dependent
on agriculture or natural resources.
Lack of Access to Financial Services:
Limited access to credit, savings, and other financial services
hinders economic growth and development.
Debt Trap:
Farmers and others can fall into a cycle of debt due to
crop failures, high interest rates, or lack of access to
credit.
Environmental Challenges:
Climate Change:
Extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and other climate-related
impacts threaten livelihoods, particularly for those dependent
on agriculture or coastal resources.
Resource Depletion and Degradation:
Overexploitation of natural resources (water, land, forests)
can lead to environmental degradation and reduce livelihood
opportunities.
Pollution:
Air, water, and soil pollution can negatively impact health
and productivity, further straining livelihoods.
Social Challenges:
Lack of Education and Skills:
Limited access to quality education and skills training
can hinder job prospects and economic advancement.
Gender Inequality:
Women often face discrimination and limited opportunities
in education, employment, and access to resources, impacting
their livelihoods.
Social Exclusion and Marginalization:
Certain groups, such as indigenous people, refugees, and
those with disabilities, may face social exclusion and limited
access to opportunities.
Conflict and Displacement:
Armed conflicts and displacement can disrupt livelihoods,
destroy property, and create long-term challenges for recovery.
Lack of Infrastructure:
Inadequate infrastructure (roads, electricity, water, sanitation)
can limit economic activity and access to services, hindering
livelihood development.
Natural Disasters:
Natural disasters, such as floods, droughts, and earthquakes,
can devastate livelihoods and cause long-term damage. |
