Abstract
Sustainable livelihood emerges at the intersection of development and environmental studies to offer a new way to think about work, especially the work of vulnerable populations. The term reflects a concern with extending the focus of poverty studies beyond the physical manifestations of poverty to include also vulnerability and social exclusion. Trainings help them in securing a better livelihood. Beauty culture is one of such avenues for self-employment, which require less of basic and technical education, minimum infrastructure and moderate financial needs.
