Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Housing, particularly for low income urban households, is a long-standing challenge in India. In 2012, 96 per cent of the all India urban housing shortage of 18.78 million was confined to low-income economic groups. This study empirically examines three facets of urban India's housing demand using the latest available nationally representative household data on housing conditions. First, we estimate the urban housing shortage. Employing a methodology similar to that used by the Technical Group for the Twelfth Five-Year Plan (TG12) based on households which are physically inadequately housed, we find the hortage to be 29 million in 2018. However, the much needed and sustained policy focus on slum housing, which is not restricted to physically inadequate slum houses, warrants a broader approach to estimating housing shortage. Employing a broader approach, we estimate the upper bound of urban housing shortage to be 50 million. We find more than 99 per cent of the shortage has been confined to low-income economic groups in 2018. Second, we analyse the housing consumption demand of low-income households, or these households' demand for housing for purposes of residing or "living in", and find demand to be price and income inelastic. Inelasticity or the lack of sensitivity of housing consumption demand to changes in price and income, is more pronounced in the case of poorer households and in the case of price. Third, since congestion in households is a prime cause of housing inadequacy, we focus on understanding the demand behaviour of congested households. We find low-income households seem to have accepted congestion as a way of life and it does not impact their housing demand behaviour, making the task of addressing congestion even more challenging. Our findings indicate that policies for housing urban India's inadequately housed households would have to work in tandem with efforts to improve their health, education, and livelihoods, focus on rental housing for the most vulnerable economic group among low income households, and further incentivise incremental housing to address congestion."--Provided by author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book looks at the major policy challenges facing developing Asia and how the region sustains rapid economic growth to reduce multidimensional poverty through socially inclusive and environmentally sustainable measures.

This book examines poverty and related issues and aims to advance the development of new tools and measurement of multidimensional poverty and poverty reduction policy analysis. The book covers a wide range of issues, including determinants and causes of poverty and its changes; consequences and impacts of poverty on human capital formation, growth and consumption; assessment of poverty strategies and policies; the role of government, NGOs and other institutions in poverty reduction; rural-urban migration and poverty; vulnerability to poverty; breakdown of poverty into chronic and transitory components; and a comparative study on poverty issues in Asia and other regions. The book will appeal to all those interested in economic development, resources, policies and economic welfare and growth.

Book Synopsis Housing for Low-income Urban Families by : Orville F. Grimes
Download or read book Housing for Low-income Urban Families written by Orville F. Grimes and published by Baltimore : Published for the World Bank [by] Johns Hopkins University Press. This book was released on 1976 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The considerable importance of housing to the urban and national economy contrasts sharply with housing conditions and official policies that exist in many developing countries. For all but the middle- and upper-income groups, housing is usually costly in relation to income and the quality of dwellings available. Cramped, crowded, and unsanitary settlements are the lot of low-income families, conditions that debilitate their energy and reduce national productivity. Families in illegal dwellings constantly face the threat of eviction as well as scarcities of water, sewerage, and transport. Often, under the banner of slum clearance, low-income groups are removed to higher-quality dwellings located far from income-earning opportunities and asked to pay rents they cannot afford. This study is intended to contribute to the discussions of housing policy options among urban planners and policymakers in developing countries. It does not attempt to analyze the optimal allocation of investment in urban areas or to suggest what place housing should have in such investment. There is no argument for a shift of capital and other resources from other sectors into housing. Instead, the principal intention is to achieve a better understanding of the workings of the urban housing market, especially as it affects low-income families, so as to bring about an improved use of the resources already used for housing and to allow new resources to be used effectively.

Book Synopsis Housing and Urbanisation by : Cedric D. J. Pugh
Download or read book Housing and Urbanisation written by Cedric D. J. Pugh and published by SAGE Publications Pvt. Limited. This book was released on 1990-08-31 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is about the possibility of developing practical and habitable low-income housing in India based on the implementation of three simple constructs: affordability, cost-recovery and replicability. In this context, Pugh argues for a shift in emphasis in housing policy from radical redevelopment to a system of feasible upgrading. He buttresses his argument by citing the success of various World Bank-aided projects in India. In the process of describing these new efforts, Pugh critically analyzes the Indian government's housing policy, the economics of reform and the failures of land policy in Delhi.
Download or read book Housing India written by Urmi Sengupta and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2024-11-15 with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this unique book on housing in India, 11 leading scholars come together to offer a critical appraisal of current housing policies and programmes in India. Contributions contextualise and conceptualise the Indian housing paradigm with an integrated perspective, covering diverse regions and themes related to housing, such as: Financial constraints to adequate housing in India Policy implementation dynamics of national housing programmes in India, using evidence from Madhya Pradesh Indigenous urbanism and mass housing programmes in Aizawl, Mizoram Studies of the peripheralisation of low income housing in Ahmedabad, Gujarat and Chennai, Tamil Nadu The chapters in the book show how each theme affects the other, and suggest policy directions on the basis of past successes and failures. They seek new vocabularies to describe the processes of housing over 1.3 billion Indians—particularly capturing urban formations in the small and big cities of India, where housing plays the most dominant role. The book offers varied perspectives representing diverse regions and themes, together presenting a microcosm of housing problems and solutions in India. Housing India will be a key resource for researchers and practitioners of housing and social policy, urban sociology, built environment, urban planning, public policy, development studies and economics. It will also appeal to housing professionals aiming to obtain qualifications and wanting a broad understanding of the housing provision in India. This book was originally published as a special issue of the International Journal of Housing Policy.
