From Growth to Sustainability in public policy to address Poverty

This "policy brief" aims to provide a deep and functional understanding of the significant transformations regarding public policy to address Poverty from reduction and alleviation to poverty eradication. The path of public policy development marks the change in philosophy. It starts from growth policies approaches "Broad-Base" & "pro-poor growth" policies through "inclusion policy" to the beyond growth approach as it is the "just transition" policy.

The methodology used is a comparative and evolutionary analysis for the 2007-2014, 2015-2020, 2021-2027 European Strategical documents under the Agenda 2030 sustainability framework.

Our contribution is to formulate some policies' characteristics:
* The "human dignity, universal social protection, social justice, sustainable
development" are perennial and continuous objectives, reshaped under the intelligent
machine era.
* The factors, problems and solution design and coherence with the 1st Sustainable

Development Goal are dissimilar across policies: - - - -
The degree of novelty, governance level, and allocation mechanism shape the
specificity of factors.
The problem design focuses on space or people. The solution design is from reactive to anticipative.
From the economic Growth, competitiveness & social protection policy toward system resilience policies with environmental sustainability, individuals, and communities' fair wellbeing outcomes are fully coherent with the 1st Sustainable Development Goal and the entire Agenda 2030 Framework.
