Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Against the backdrop of the global financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and commodity prices, addressing poverty and inequality in the Philippines remains a challenge. The proportion of households living below the official poverty line has declined slowly and unevenly in the past four decades, and poverty reduction has been much slower than in neighboring countries such as the People's Republic of China, Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. Economic growth has gone through boom and bust cycles, and recent episodes of moderate economic expansion have had limited impact on the poor. Great inequality across income brackets, regions, and sectors, as well as unmanaged population growth, are considered some of the key factors constraining poverty reduction efforts. This publication analyzes the causes of poverty and recommends ways to accelerate poverty reduction and achieve more inclusive growth. it also provides an overview of current government responses, strategies, and achievements in the fight against poverty and identifies and prioritizes future needs and interventions. The analysis is based on current literature and the latest available data, including the 2006 Family Income and Expenditure Survey.

Download or read book Social Welfare Functions and Development written by Nanak Kakwani and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-30 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanak Kakwani and Hyun Hwa Son make use of social welfare functions to derive indicators of development relevant to specific social objectives, such as poverty- and inequality-reduction. Arguing that the measurement of development cannot be value-free, the authors assert that if indicators of development are to have policy relevance, they must be assessed on the basis of the social objectives in question. This study develops indicators that are sensitive to both the level and the distribution of individuals’ capabilities. The idea of the social welfare function, defined in income space, is extended to the concept of the social well-being function, defined in capability space. Through empirical analysis from selected developing countries, with a particular focus on Brazil, the authors shape techniques appropriate to the analysis of development in different dimensions. The focus of this evidence-based policy analysis is to evaluate alternative policies affecting the capacities of people to enjoy a better life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: That poverty is a multidimensional phenomenon is no longer debatable. What remains a contentious issue is whether the various dimensions of individual deprivation should be aggregated--and how these are to be aggregated--into a summary measure of poverty. This study employs the Alkire-Foster aggregation methodology, which preserves the "dashboard" of dimensions of poverty, to systematically assess the magnitude, intensity, and sources of multidimensional poverty over the past two decades and across subpopulation groups in the Philippines. It finds that what is generally known about the country's performance in poverty reduction in recent years, as seen in income measures of poverty, is quite different from what the lens of multidimensional poverty measures reveal. While income-based poverty remained largely unaffected by economic growth during the past decade, multidimensional poverty did actually decline. This finding is robust to sources of nationally-representative household survey data and to assumptions about the poverty cutoff. From a policy perspective, this result reinforces the view that nothing less than economic growth, even in the short term, is required to reduce poverty (broadly interpreted to include individual deprivations beyond income). Moreover, the diversity of both deprivation intensity and magnitude of poverty across geographic areas and sectors of the Philippine society is enormous, suggesting that, beyond growth, much needs to be done to make development more inclusive. -- Poverty ; Welfare ; Human Development ; Philippines

Download or read book The Measurement of Household Welfare written by R. W. Blundell and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1994-09-15 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The measurement of household welfare is one of the most compelling yet demanding areas in economics. To place the analysis of inequality and poverty within an economic framework where individuals are making decisions about current and lifetime incomes and expenditures is a difficult task, made all the more challenging by the complexity of the decision-making process in which households are involved and the variety of constraints they face. This 1994 book examines the conceptual and practical difficulties of making inferences from observed behaviour. It addresses the problems of making comparisons across a range of very different households and discusses how data for such comparisons should be collected. The contributions, from experts from Europe, North America and Australia, have the unifying theme that there is a strong relationship between theoretical concepts from microeconomics and the appropriate use of micro data in evaluating household welfare.
