Summary/Abstract: The factors influencing poverty and social inequalities vary greatly in their impact across regions, countries, and cultures. Education stands out as a primary determinant of an individual's social status, their readiness to engage in specific employment opportunities, and their access to social security and support systems. Educational attainment not only shapes individual characteristics but also serves as a crucial indicator of income levels and susceptibility to poverty. Moreover, education plays a vital role for marginalized communities, who often face significant barriers to access due to cultural and ethnic disparities. Lastly, education is pivotal not only in addressing poverty but also in facilitating social mobility.
