Abstract:

This study focuses on the Poverty Profile by type of house of Households in Nepal among 5,988 households of Nepal. It is based on the Nepal Living Standards Survey-III 2010/11 cross-sectional data. The data were used to analyze descriptive statistics including poverty profiles. The FGT poverty index (index proposed by Foster, Greer and Thorbecke) is employed to examine the head count rate or poverty incidence, poverty gap and severity poverty of Nepal. It reveals that 25.2% of the sample households live below the poverty line (Rs.19261 per individual per year) with an average poverty gap and s

Although Vietnam’s economic growth and poverty reduction for almost three decades have been remarkable, growth for poverty reduction is unequally distributed across the nation. The paper examines the cause of poverty and the impact of provincial economic growth on poverty alleviation, using the data of 63 provinces in Vietnam. The elasticity of poverty with respect to provincial economic growth is employed (the elasticities of headcount index, poverty gap index, and squared poverty index with respect to provincial economic growth) to identify the provinces where pro-poor growth has occurred.

The current study investigated the association between out-of-pocket health expenditure and poverty using macroeconomic data from a sample of 145 countries from 2000 to 2017. In particular, it was examined whether the relationship between out-of-pocket health expenditure and poverty was contingent on a certain threshold level of out-of-pocket health spending. The dynamic panel threshold method, which allows for the endogeneity of the threshold regressor (out-of-pocket health expenditure), was used.

Poverty is social gap problem for some people with below average income level but in Pringsewu district the poverty rate is significantly decreased so it is expected to increase the potential of Pringsewu region to be better, in increasing the potential of the region it needs a system that is expected to assist in determination of poverty level in sub district in Pringsewu by data clustering and ranking from every subdistrict in Pringsewu Regency using SAW method. Therefore, we are interested to build an application of Poverty Grouping in Pringsewu region in the form of Poverty Index of the la

Based on the sample data from 2005 to 2019, this paper calculates the poverty nature of contiguous destitute areas through FGT index and its decomposition and systematically analyzes the impact of economic growth, inequality, and population change on poverty change. From the decomposition results of poverty change, we can see that, first, economic growth, inequality, and population change have different impacts on poverty change in counties and rural areas, and inequality and population mobility have widened the gap between them; second, population factor has always played a key role in the ch

The panel data fixed effect combined with propensity score matching is used to tackle the selection bias due to the nature of the policy, unobserved heterogeneity and omitted variable bias.

Abstract:

The aim of this article is to investigate the claim that tourism development can be the engine for poverty reduction in Kenya using a dynamic, microsimulation computable general equilibrium model. The article improves on the common practice in the literature by using the more comprehensive Foster-Greer-Thorbecke (FGT) index to measure poverty instead of headcount ratios only. Simulations results from previous studies confirm that expansion of the tourism industry will benefit different sectors unevenly and will only marginally improve poverty headcount. This is mainly due to the contraction of

In our estimation, we found that the zakat to GDP ratio exceeds the poverty gap index to GDP (PGI-GDP) ratio in all but 3 countries, with poverty line defined at $1.25 a day. We also found that the zakat to GDP ratio exceeds the PGI-GDP ratio, except in 4 countries with poverty line defined at $2.00 a day. We also compared zakat to GDP ratio against poverty headcount ratio. According to our estimates, the Zakat to GDP ratio exceeds the poverty head count ratio to GDP (PHCR-

Abstract:

Islamic economists have always taken the position on the intrinsic capability of poverty alleviation in the Islamic economic model. The poverty, in economics and social sciences, is taken in the context of economic deprivation. Among the multitudinous meanings of poverty, generally it is defined as the lack of income, human underdevelopment, social exclusion, ill being, unsustainable livelihood, lack of basic needs, vulnerability and relative deprivation, while multifarious methodologies like head count ratio, poverty gap ratio, income gap ratio and Sen index are used to measure the poverty.

The paper estimates the resource required and potential zakat collection for poverty elimination. The paper employed the poverty gap index based on US $ 1.25 a day and US$ 2.0 a day estimated by the World Bank (2009). Zakat potential has been estimated by employing Kahf (1989) method of estimation with some modifications.

Researchers and policymakers consider SI to be essential to avoid global hunger, improve human nutrition and reduce rural poverty while avoiding all manner of environmental disasters. To achieve these global public goods requires a large number of rural households – ‘small farmers’ – in less developed countries to improve their agriculture.

Abstract:

One way of measuring the deprivation or poverty of persons is to use money-based measures: a person is regarded as ‘poor’ if his/her income (or expenditure) falls below a poverty line value. Such an approach – usually termed poverty analysis – has spawned a large literature embodying several sophisticated measures of poverty. The downside to this is that low income or expenditure may not be very good indicators of deprivation. Another way, usually termed ‘deprivation analysis’, is to define an index whose value, for each person, is the number (or proportion) of items from a prescribed list tha

Efforts to alleviate poverty can be done through community empowerment. Empowerment is the creation of an atmosphere or climate that allows excellent potential to grow.
