The term “sustainable” refers to a person`s ability to take care of themselves in a way that lasts a lifetime. “Sustainability” also refers to the ability to experience external shocks or stresses and recover from such trauma by maintaining or improving one`s livelihoods. [2] The Sustainable Livelihoods Framework provides a framework for holistic poverty reduction measures. [3] Joint adjustments to a sustainable livelihoods framework focus on dynamic and people-centred poverty reduction programmes. [4] COVID-19, among other social, economic and political crises, has complicated the situation of the poor. [5] Sustainable livelihoods concern meaningful employment opportunities for all, especially for young people, but also all aspects of what might be called quality of life in the workplace, including, for example, job satisfaction, work-life balance and fair remuneration. Sustainable livelihoods: (1) promoting justice between and between generations, races, genders and ethnic groups; access to and distribution of wealth and resources; in the division of productive and reproductive roles; and the transfer of knowledge and skills. (2) Cultivate a sense of belonging and connection with the local community and adapt and restore regional ecosystems. (3) Promote local investment in the community and support capital in the local economy. 4.

Production is based on renewable energy and the regeneration of local resources, while reducing the intensity of energy consumption, eliminating excessive consumption of local and global resources and ensuring that there is no net loss of biodiversity. (5) Use appropriate technologies that are ecologically appropriate, socially just and humane and that enhance rather than displace the knowledge and skills of the community. (6) Journeys to the workplace and the distance between manufacturers and users should be reduced as far as possible. (7) Generate social and economic returns and value unglomerized and paid work. (8) Provide secure access to opportunities and meaningful activities of community life. CARE (Cooperative for Assistance and Relief Everywhere) focuses on emergency management and long-term development programs. [14] In 1994, CARE developed a framework for household livelihood security to better monitor, evaluate and track the work they do. [1] CARE`s application of a framework for sustainable livelihoods moves away from a sector-wide approach and focuses on holistic development techniques. [15] The Department for International Development is the UK department dedicated to the eradication of extreme poverty and the management of foreign aid. [16] DFID uses a sustainable livelihoods framework to holistically focus on activities directly related to improving an individual`s livelihoods.

[1] Multi-level, sustainable and dynamic people-centred initiatives are integrated into DFID`s activities. [17] A sustainable community provides livelihoods for local people in need [1], especially young people. Opportunities can be fostered by a variety of approaches, not just more traditional or conventional means. Social inclusion implies economic inclusion. To arrive at a future of work as if people and the planet were important, it seems unlikely that there is a miracle solution, but it may be that a variety of interconnected solutions help. Sustainable livelihood principles include a holistic set of values that are not exploitative, encourage participation in decision-making processes, emphasize the quality and creativity of work, place needs above desires, and foster healthy and mutually beneficial relationships between people and between people and their environment. The term “sustainable livelihoods” was first used as a development concept in the early 1990s. Chambers and Conway (1991) defined sustainable livelihoods as follows: A livelihood includes people, their capacities and livelihoods, including food, income and wealth. Tangible assets are resources and businesses, and intangible assets are receivables and accesses. A livelihood is environmentally sustainable if it maintains or enhances the local and global assets on which livelihoods depend, and has a net positive impact on other livelihoods. A socially sustainable livelihood that can cope with stress and shocks, recover from them and provide for future generations. A livelihood is sustainable when it copes with stress and shocks and recovers, maintains or improves its skills and assets without compromising the natural resource base.

“What we need to understand for the environment is the central importance of work in people`s lives – and that in a society with deep social insecurity, your work is everything,” says Uehlein. “The livelihood, the retirement, the hopes and the dreams. We have everything we have to fear from an environmental movement that is silent on workers. Sustainability starts at the kitchen table, which means our child`s education, savings, food, and next job. Joe Uehlein [7] The idea of sustainable livelihoods was first introduced by the Brundtland Commission on Environment and Development, and the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development expanded the concept and advocated for achieving sustainable livelihoods as an overarching goal of poverty reduction. The United Nations Development Programme takes a sustainable approach to livelihood-based development through the assessment of different types of capital. [13] UNDP identifies five key types of capital: human, social, natural, physical and financial. Individuals` access to these assets determines how UNDP designs initiatives to facilitate development, directly or indirectly.
