CATBALOGAN CITY, Philippines— In support of the global goal to end poverty in all its forms, Samar State University (SSU) champions the Sustainable Development Goal 1 (No Poverty) through the study, “Discourses of Poverty: The Narratives of the Poor in Samar,” published in the Scopus-indexed International Journal of Social Science and Human Research.
The research was authored by SSU faculty members, namely Dr. Nathalie Ann A. Acosta and Asst. Prof. Mary Jane B. Cinco of the College of Arts and Sciences, and Ms. Joan J. Baclay of the SSU Information Office.
Published in Volume 07 Issue 10, the study explored the perceptions of the poor about the temporal dimensions of poverty. The researchers found out that poor Samareños have “limited knowledge and lower health status, lack of ambition and motivation to improve [their] situation, inadequate basic needs like food due to large family size, and poverty [passed on] to the next generation.”
