Book Synopsis Poverty Dynamics in Rural India by : Jahangir Aziz
Download or read book Poverty Dynamics in Rural India written by Jahangir Aziz and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2002-10 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: India’s progress in reducing poverty at the national level masks substantial disparity in the incidence of poverty at the state level. This paper provides a description of the trends in interstate differences in rural poverty for the period 1978–97. Key findings are that poverty generally declined in most states over the last twenty years. However, poverty increased during the early years of the 1990s reform period before decline again in the later years. Relative differences in poverty narrowed during the 1980s but widened somewhat during the next decade. The better success rate of some states in reducing poverty in the 1990s was, in part, due to higher growth and lower inflation.

Download or read book The State of World Rural Poverty written by Idriss Jazairy and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 1992 with total page 539 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Despite almost four decades and billions of dollars in development activities, we are barely in a position to track the changing dynamics of poverty or to define with conviction the processes that entrap the poor in their misery. Accounting for about 90% of global poverty, rural poverty, through transmigration, is also a main contributor to urban poverty. It is in the rural areas of the world where poverty is most severe in human terms, where the hunger, hopelessness, hardship, and despair commonly associated with entrenched poverty are most pronounced, where basic health services, sanitation, educational opportunities, and other common amenities are most lacking. The alleviation of rural poverty is therefore tantamount to the alleviation of global poverty in its entirety. The State of World Rural Poverty offers the first comprehensive look at the economic conditions and prospects of the world's rural poor.
Book Synopsis Climbing up the ladder and watching out for the fall: Poverty dynamics in rural Bangladesh by : Ahmed, Akhter
Download or read book Climbing up the ladder and watching out for the fall: Poverty dynamics in rural Bangladesh written by Ahmed, Akhter and published by Intl Food Policy Res Inst. This book was released on 2019-01-01 with total page 35 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper analyzes poverty dynamics in rural Bangladesh using a nationally representative panel dataset of 5,260 rural households interviewed in 2011/12 and 2015. We find that education, savings, assets, non-farm employment, substantial safety net transfers, and women’s empowerment are key factors in breaking persistent poverty; and savings, non-farm engagement, and substantial safety net transfers prevent households from falling into poverty. The results are consistent across multinomial logit, logit, and simultaneous quantile regression models. Thus, policies and programs that address the determinants of persistent and transient poverty identified in this study hold promise for sustained poverty reduction in rural Bangladesh.

Book excerpt: The Punjab Model Of Agricultural Development Has Evoked A Keen Interest And Curiosity On A Wide Scale. Some Researchers Observe That The Benefits Of The Agricultural Development Have Not Reached The Weaker Sections In The Rural Areas Of The Punjab. In This Backdrop, The Objective Of The Present Study Is To Examine The Dynamics Of Rural Poverty Prevailing Among Agricultural Labourers, Marginal Farmers And Small Farmers. It Elaborately Examines The Sources, Composition And Patterns Of Income And Consumption; And Magnitude And Determinants Of Indebtedness Of Agricultural Labourers, Marginal Farmers And Small Farmers In Differentially Developed Regions Of The Punjab.The Painstaking Study Yielded That Agricultural Labourers Are Enjoying A High Level Of Living Vis-À-Vis Marginal Farmers. The Proposition Of Persons Below The Poverty Line Has Been Found To Be The Highest In The Case Of Marginal Farmers And This Proportion Was The Highest In The Least Developed Region. In General, It Appears That The Extent Of Poverty Is Inversely Related To The Productivity Levels Of The Regions But The Magnitude Of Indebtedness Is Directly Related To The Productivity Levels Of The Different Regions Of Punjab.The Book Will Be Of Immense Value To The Students And Research Scholars Of Economics And Sociology Besides The Academics And Policy Planners In The Field. And It Will Enrich The Valuable Collection Of Every Library.

Download or read book Rural Poverty in Latin America written by R. López and published by Springer. This book was released on 2000-09-28 with total page 354 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides fresh insight into rural poverty in Latin America. It draws on six case studies of recent rural household surveys - for Chile, Colombia, El Salvador, Honduras, Paraguay, and Peru - and several thematic studies examining land, labour, rural financial markets, the environments, and disadvantaged groups. Recognizing the heterogeneity within the rural economy, the studies characterize three important groups - small farmers, landless farm workers, and rural non-farm workers - and provide quantitative and qualitative analyses of the determinants of household income.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The rural economy in Bangladesh has powerfully advanced economic growth and substantially reduced poverty, especially since 2000, but the remarkable transformation and unprecedented dynamism in rural Bangladesh remain an underexplored, underappreciated, and largely untold story. Dynamics of Rural Growth in Bangladesh: Sustaining Poverty Reduction tells that story and inquires what specific actions Bangladesh might take—given the residual poverty and persistent malnutrition—to accelerate and channel its rural dynamism to sustain the gains in eliminating poverty, achieving shared prosperity, and advancing national aspirations to achieve middle-income status. The central element of this study, undertaken with the Government of Bangladesh Planning Commission to address key questions elicited through extensive consultation, is an empirical analysis that illuminates the underlying dynamics of rural growth, particularly the role of agriculture and its relationship to the nonfarm economy. Using all sources of data available for the macro-, meso-, and microhousehold levels, the analysis provides new evidence on changes in the rural economy and the principal drivers of rural incomes. It also examines market performance for high-value agricultural products and agriculture†“nutrition linkages, based on new surveys and analysis. The resulting evidence, examined in light of the rich knowledge of rural development in Bangladesh, is used to delineate the implications for policy and the strategic priorities for sustaining future rural development, poverty reduction, food security, and nutrition. The effects of policy reforms, changes in technology, and investments in infrastructure and human capital described here, along with the persistent enterprise of rural Bangladeshi households, offer a compelling case study of how mutually reinforcing actions can trigger the highly-sought-after virtuous cycle of rural development. The findings clearly demonstrate the pro-poor nature of agricultural growth and its catalytic role in stimulating the rural nonfarm economy. They show that households have no linear or predictable pathway out of poverty; instead, they wisely employ a combination of farm and nonfarm income strategies to climb out of, and then stay out of, poverty. The results represent a strong contribution to the global thinking on rural transformation and on how agriculture in particular sustains the economic momentum that fosters poverty reduction and more widespread prosperity.

This book was released on 2012-05 with total page 76 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The region has ample natural resources especially in the agriculture sector which may be sufficient to supply food for the nation as a whole. However, based on the computed poverty line birr 2622 using consumption of basic need approach, 68% of the households is below the poverty line. A 10% change on poverty line showed that there is greater number of the poor just below the poverty line. From the binomial logit; we found that age, education level of the head, household size, input cost, credit, experience are significant to affect the state of poverty. The multinomial logit model indicates that age is the main factor for the household to move from non-poor to poor and sex is a significant factor for being persistently poor. Cost of input, household size and sex are the cause for moving from poor to non-poor. Greater portion of the poor are condensed just below the poverty line. Similarly, many of them are trenseite poor. This indicates that they need some additional income to smooth their consumption; therefore, in the area there should be some program like food for work or they should be engaged in non-farm activities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1999, Worlds Apart examined the nature of poverty through the stories of real people in three remote rural areas of the United States: New England, Appalachia, and the Mississippi Delta. In this new edition, Duncan returns to her original research, interviewing some of the same people as well as some new key informants. Duncan provides powerful new insights into the dynamics of poverty, politics, and community change. "Duncan, through in-depth investigation and interviews, concludes that only a strong civic culture, a sense among citizens of community and the need to serve that community, can truly address poverty. . . . Moving and troubling. Duncan has created a remarkable study of the persistent patterns of poverty and power."—Kirkus Reviews "The descriptions of rural poverty in Worlds Apart are interesting and read almost like a novel."—Choice
Book Synopsis The Dynamics of Poverty by : Ravi Kanbur
Download or read book The Dynamics of Poverty written by Ravi Kanbur and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2016 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Abstract: August 1995 - In urban areas of Côte d'Ivoire, human capital is the endowment that best explains welfare changes over time. In rural areas, physical capital - especially the amount of land and farm equipment owned - matters most. Empirical investigations of poverty in developing countries tend to focus on the incidence of poverty at a particular point in time. If the incidence of poverty increases, however, there is no information about how many new poor have joined the existing poor and how many people have escaped poverty. Yet this distinction is of crucial policy importance. The chronically poor may need programs to enhance their human and physical capital endowments. Invalids and the very old may need permanent (targeted) transfers. The temporarily poor, on the other hand, may best be helped with programs that complement their own resources and help them bridge a difficult period. Results from analyses of panel surveys show significant mobility into and out of poverty and reveal a dynamism of the poor that policy should stimulate. Understanding what separates chronic from temporary poverty requires knowing which characteristics differentiate those who escape poverty from those who don't. In earlier work, Grootaert, Kanbur, and Oh found that region of residence and socioeconomic status were important factors. In this paper they investigate the role of other household characteristics, especially such asset endowments as human and physical capital, in the case of Côte d'Ivoire. In urban areas of Côte d'Ivoire, human capital is the most important endowment explaining welfare changes over time. Households with well-educated members suffered less loss of welfare than other households. What seems to have mattered, though, is the skills learned through education, not the diplomas obtained. Diplomas may even have worked against some households in having oriented workers too much toward a formal labor market in a time when employment growth came almost entirely from small enterprises. In rural areas, physical capital - especially the amount of land and farm equipment owned - mattered most. Smallholders were more likely to suffer welfare declines. Households with diversified sources of income managed better, especially if they had an important source of nonfarm income. In both rural and urban areas, larger households suffered greater declines in welfare and households that got larger were unable to increase income enough to maintain their former welfare level. Households whose heads worked in the public sector maintained welfare better than other households, a finding that confirms earlier observations. The results also suggest that government policies toward certain regions or types of household can outweigh the effects of household endownments. Surprisingly, migrant non-Ivorian households tended to be better at preventing welfare losses than Ivorian households, while households headed by women did better than those headed by men (after controlling for differences in or changes in endowment). The implications for policymakers? First, education is associated with higher welfare levels and helps people cope better with economic decline. Second, targeting the social safety net to larger households - possibly through the schools, to reach children - is justified in periods of decline. Third, smallholders might be targeted in rural areas, and ways found to encourage diversification of income there. This paper - a joint product of the Social Policy and Resettlement Division, Environment Department, and the Africa Regional Office, Office of the Chief Economist - is the result of a research project on The Dynamics of Poverty: Why Some People Escape Poverty and Others Don't, A Panel Analysis for Côte d'Ivoire (RPO 678-70).
