Authors explore themes of poverty reduction, the extent of natural resource endowments (especially mineral resources) and the influence on social and economic development. Chapters explore theory and practice, including governance and programmes, and take a detailed look at Zakat as a faith-based policy tool, to reduce poverty and improve  livelihoods and thus contribute to better environmental stewardship. The final chapters look at development questions in the Muslim World and make policy recommendations, including a proposed multi-dimensional development collaboration model called the Development Collaboration Octagon Model (DeCOM). Readers will discover theoretical explanations of poverty and how poverty hampers the development of many nations because the poor are unable to partake actively in the development process. Poverty indicators and measurement are discussed, and trends of economic growth including productivity, manufacturing, trade patterns, investment and saving activity are all explored: supporting data is presented in tables and figures, throughout this text. Authors explore the potency and success stories of public poverty alleviation strategies and programmes pursued in the Muslim world, especially the extent to which the institution of Zakat has been effectively incorporated into public poverty alleviation strategies. Policy options required to enhance social and economic development are proposed, to help pull the poor out of the poverty trap into the mainstream economy in the Muslim world. This work will appeal to anyone wishing to scrutinise poverty, its parameters and its relationship with the development of countries in the Muslim world. Scholars in the fields of economics, sociology, geography and Islamic studies will all find something of value here. . 606 $aSocial structure 606 $aEquality 606 $aMedical research 606 $aDemography 606 $aSocial Structure, Social Inequality$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22010 606 $aQuality of Life Research$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/H65000 606 $aDemography$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X25000 615 0$aSocial structure. 615 0$aEquality. 615 0$aMedical research. 615 0$aDemography. 615 14$aSocial Structure, Social Inequality. 615 24$aQuality of Life Research. 615 24$aDemography. 676 $a338.9 676 $a338.927091767 676 $a362.5091767 700 $aAbdulai$b Abdul-Mumin$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$01224930 702 $aShamshiry$b Elmira$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910483914103321 996 $aLinking Sustainable Livelihoods to Natural Resources and Governance$92844166 997 $aUNINA
