Journal Title: International Journal of Social Science And Human Research - Year 2024, Vol 7, Issue 08
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of this study was to assess poverty driving forces in Tanzania. Specifically, the study examined three dimensional factors that included; education access, unemployment and income inequality. Methodology: The study employed an econometric analysis approach and paid attention to three key factors. These factors included, education access, unemployment and income inequality. National statistical data for a period of 10 years from 2012 to 2021 were obtained through literature review and processed through a regression model to examine the influence of the factors on poverty in the country Findings: Results show that all the three examined factors had significant and positive influence on poverty in the country. However, unemployment and income inequality are more detrimental to this cause as opposed to education access. Unique contribution to theory, practice and policy: Findings of the study reinforce the fact that poverty continues to be a threat to human dignity as well as an obstacle to realizing one’s potential. Hence, four policy recommendations that include reviewing the education system, investing in youths, implementing pro-poor programs and financing action oriented research are recommended
