According to recent estimates by the UN, in 2023 nearly 700 million people across the globe were subsisting on less than $2.15 a day ($785 a year). In this episode, we speak with Dr. Niroj Bhattarai, an assistant professor of economics with more than 20 years of teaching, research, and field work experience. We discuss poverty, economic development, government, access to education, and social entrepreneurship as a driver for sustainable change.
