Abstract

Poverty, due to its complex nature and multiple aspects, produces broad political, social and economic effects on society, some of which appear clearly and directly, and some of which cause side effects whose complications appear later, and affect the basic structures of the national economy, which in turn take the form of feedback, so that it is a result and a cause at the same time. Poverty causes unemployment and increases the suffering of the poor, as a result of the low level of health and educational services and the increase in cases of social exclusion, and what the harsh conditions dictate to them in terms of lost opportunities and squandering of rights. On the other hand, unemployment is one of the causes of poverty, as unemployment affects the high percentage of the poor in the long term. Many developing countries in general and Arab countries in particular suffer from the exacerbation of poverty and unemployment, and each country seeks to reach appropriate mechanisms that contribute to escaping the effects of this phenomenon, eliminating it, or at least reducing its severity. Many national and international efforts, policies and strategies have emerged to combat poverty and unemployment in developing countries, and many mechanisms and means have emerged through which their owners have sought to combat poverty and unemployment, and reduce the severity of this phenomenon.
