Abstract: This is a pre-publication copy. The published article is copyrighted by the publisher. Racial Discrimination and Poverty Reduction for Sustainable Development Definition The concept of racial discrimination is gaining a lot of recognition and acceptance in the drive to explain and reduce high levels of poverty among various social groups. Racial discrimination has many guises throughout the world as it affects individuals and communities. Racial discrimination can be seen as any form of unequal treatment against certain individuals or groups as a result of certain features attributed to such as skin color, ethnic origin or race (Felice 2002). In this case, individuals can experience discrimination such as denied employment opportunities, business engagements, being made a social or political outcast, and not having equitable access to available resources that other groups share. There is no doubt that discrimination based on race, gender or skin color at the individual level or within institutional formations promotes poverty and related situations (Hardaway and McLoyd 2009). This makes the challenge more important in order to help people escape from poverty. Accordingly, the issues discussed here will help researchers and policymakers end poverty in such a way that the strategies are sustainable.
