Education as a Catalyst for Poverty Reduction: A Study of Slum Communities in Bangkok under the SDG 1 Framework

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This study examines the role of the education sector in alleviating multidimensional poverty among residents of urban slum communities in Bangkok, Thailand. Using a quantitative research design, data were collected from 200 respondents and analyzed using multiple regression analysis via JAMOVI software. Five educational predictors, access, quality, non-formal participation, attainment, and expenditure, were tested against poverty scores. The findings reveal that education expenditure, attainment, non-formal participation, and quality significantly contribute to poverty reduction, while access to education showed a minimal effect. The model explained 38% of the variance in poverty scores, and key assumptions of regression were met. These results highlight the need for comprehensive, quality-driven educational interventions to empower the urban poor and support Sustainable Development Goal 1. Recommendations include increasing financial aid, enhancing non-formal learning, and improving educational quality in low-income areas
