Abstract:

The article examines the main consequences of poverty for individual citizens and society as a whole. Among the consequences of poverty for individuals, physiological, psychological and communicative effects are distinguished. The physiological consequences of poverty are the unavailability of quality food, as well as quality medical, hygiene, and health services, which reduces both life expectancy and health in general. Psychological problems include stress, depression, alcohol and drug abuse, which can lead to suicidal tendencies. The communicative consequences mean that a poor person often

AbstractHaving accurate poverty statistics is of primary importance for researchers and policy-makers. Based on original data on Burundi, we investigate the sensitivity of poverty headcount calculations to considering individual- instead of household-level consumption. Relying on a survey module which provides information on the share of expenses allocated to each member of the households, we calculate poverty statutes on an individual basis. Exploiting these direct measures to compute poverty headcounts allows us to put forward the discrepancy between individual- and household-level poverty c

The article presents a proposal for individual assessment of energy poverty through a quantitative model for measuring household energy needs. The assessment contains a demographic and technical component, and is an important part of determining normalized household energy expenditure, as part of an official energy poverty line, in addition to income and energy prices. The expenditure-oriented approach to measuring energy poverty has been proven to be the most suitable for the national specifics in Bulgaria.

AbstractPoverty trap studies help explain the simultaneous escape from poverty by some households and regions alongside deep and persistent poverty elsewhere. However, researchers remain divided about how important poverty traps are in explaining the range of poverty dynamics observed in various contexts. We build a theoretical model that integrates micro-, meso-, and macro-level poverty traps, allowing us to analyze the ways in which multiple layers of poverty traps interact and reinforce each other. Through this simulation model, markets and institutions arise endogenously and help certain i

Principal roles are child, older adult, and, among working-age adults, disabled individual, student, unemployed individual, caregiver, or paid laborer. Moreover, t

Over the last 20 years, poverty has undergone profound changes, even affecting people who were once safe from the processes of impoverishment. Hidden under the guise of normal difficulties considered part of the natural course of life, it has lost its “occasional” connotation and has become “established” in people’s lives, causing new and dangerous trends. The article offers some reflections on how these dynamics have become particularly widespread in Italy, resulting in two types of poverty: cultural poverty, linked to the phenomenon of young NEETs (Not in Employment, Education, or Training),

Both identifiability and spillovers depend on individual poverty, group poverty, and political competition.

Abstract:

Poverty can be measured directly (based on consumption) or indirectly (based on income). Both direct and indirect poverty measurement are called objective poverty measurement. Nonetheless, these indicators are not enough capture the multiple aspects of poverty. Therefore, the alternative measure of poverty is needed. Subjective poverty is an individual assessment of their own poverty status. The poor have their own understanding and interpretation of their socio-economic situation. Poverty could be analyzed in a more comprehensive and better dimension by combining objective and subjective meas

Abstract:

The year 2023 will mark the tenth year of China’s pilot water rights program, with China’s overall water use efficiency improving and the water-related industry continuing to grow. Due to the uneven spatial and temporal distribution of water resources in China, there still exists the real problem of resource-type water shortage and structural water shortage, in which the problem of water poverty is particularly prominent. In order to alleviate water poverty, this paper constructs a water poverty indicator system and measures it, uses a double difference model to study whether the water trading

Abstract:

Background. Few studies have examined how individual and neighborhood poverty in childhood and adulthood influence the likelihood of adult obesity. We used a longitudinal cohort to examine these associations. Methods. Our cohort consisted of children born in Baltimore, MD, USA with followup as adults from ages 27 to 33. We used logistic regression to examine the multivariate association between individual and neighborhood poverty in childhood and adulthood and adult obesity, (body mass index ), based on self-reported height and weight. Results. Of the 986 female respondents, 82% were African A

Abstract:

The most contested issue in the study of poverty is defining what constitutes poverty. Over time, poverty underwent a drastic conceptual transformation from mere nutritional poverty to multidimensional poverty encompassing all aspects of human life. The theoretical explanation of the factors that cause and perpetuate poverty ranges from individual deficiencies to cultural, structural, geographic, and economic influences. The present article goes through the conceptual and theoretical evolutions of ‘poverty’ as a matter of deprivation.

Abstract:

En España hay una incidencia alta de pobreza laboral, que no ha variado en exceso tras la llamada Gran Recesión, a pesar de su fuerte impacto en la economía y el mercado laboral. Un primer objetivo de este artículo es analizar la evolución de esa pobreza durante todo el ciclo económico comprendido entre la anterior crisis y el período inmediatamente anterior a la pandemia del COVID-19, utilizando indicadores con umbral de pobreza anclado al comienzo de ese período. Se supera así el carácter relativo del indicador oficial, que se calcula para cada año, impidiendo captar los cambios en la incide

Abstract:

By analyzing some factors related to the various constraints faced by unbanked individuals, this study explores the determinants associated with individuals without access to common financial services in Benin. It also examines the impact of the lack of access to financial services on poverty using the World Bank’s Global Findex database for 2011, 2014, and 2017. Using a probit model, we found a positive and significant relationship between financial exclusion and lack of documentation, expensive financial services, distance from financial institutions, and lack of trust in financial instituti

Abstract:

Will the consequences of residential segregation, that is, spatial concentration of marginalised populations on the one hand, and spatial concentration of affluent populations on the other hand, generate a situation where individual life trajectories are influenced by where individuals grow up? Our aim is to analyse how poverty risks and early income career at adult age are influenced by different neighbourhood contexts in early youth. We use Swedish longitudinal register data, and follow individuals born in 1980 until 2012. Residential context is measured in 1995 at age 15 by expanding a buff
