Abstract

Poverty eradication and increase of quality of life in poorest countries is recognized as an international goal but we need to improve policies because, in spite of some remarkable advances, there are yet many problems (hunger, lack of sanitation and safe water, and other ones related with low levels of production per head, low levels of average years of schooling and poverty) affecting to hundreds million people in Less Development Countries (LDCs). Among the different options usually considered for international cooperation, we think that it is important to choose a mix of measures that contributes to achieve development in LDCS and, at the same time, to increase quality of life and diminish total environmental pollution at World level. The question is not only to support the aim of reaching sustainable development but also to say when and how good measures should be reinforced. In this study we analyze the relationship between low levels of production per capita and poverty all over the World, and point to some priority measures to foster sustainable development and quality in many countries through education, production, investment and international cooperation.
