Government strategies on alleviation and reduction of poverty Abstract: The subject of this research is the prevention, alleviation, and reduction of poverty realized within the framework of state strategies. The author examines such aspects of the topic as: anti-poverty measures, including from the charitable perspective; provision of social equality and human rights; types of poverty common among population. A special attention is given to the approaches towards the implementation of state policy, as well as private foundations aimed at reducing poverty. The author’s contribution into this research consists in formulation of the solutions to the problems pertaining to absolute and relative poverty; determination of main directions of state policy on the “fight” against poverty encouraging eradication of poverty in the countries of Africa, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, and People’s Republic of China. The scientific novelty lies in the fact, that the eradication of poverty is impossible through charitable and alternative altruistic approaches.
