Abstract:
This study examines how international trade reduces poverty through case studies from Vietnam, India, Mexico, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. It identifies key channels—economic growth, job creation, and empowerment of marginalized groups, especially women and small scale producers. While trade fosters development, structural barriers, adjustment costs, and gen
der inequality can limit its benefits. The study underscores the need for policies that lower trade costs, enhance infrastructure, and promote inclusivity. Diversification emerges as crucial for resilience against economic shocks. These findings provide actionable insights for leveraging trade as a tool for sustainable development and poverty reduction worldwide.
