Abstract

This review delves into the intricate relationship between the development of human capital and the eradication
of poverty among parents. Human capital, encompassing education, skills, and health, is pivotal in shaping
household income, economic stability, and overall well-being. By thoroughly analyzing empirical studies and
theoretical frameworks, this paper elucidates how investing in parental human capital can serve as a potent
strategy for alleviating poverty. The review underscores the multifaceted benefits of enhancing parental
education and skills acquisition, including increased employment opportunities, improved health outcomes, and
heightened social mobility. Furthermore, the study underscores the importance of policy interventions,
educational programs, and health initiatives designed to bolster human capital among parents, thereby fostering
sustainable development and poverty reduction on both individual and societal levels
