Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty is the inability to attain a minimal standard of living & unable to satisfy basic need & lack of control over resources. Poverty is multi-dimensional & its causes are diverse, manifestations & meanings are contextual, and it is not only a state of deprivation but also a dynamic set of processes. Poverty reduction strategy is one of the top priority agenda of developing countries. In measuring poverty most scholars are usually observed to use a quantitative method-which are claimed to be unable to show the different dimensions of poverty. Nevertheless this method is found difficult to be used by experts at district level for applying as a tool to sort poor from non poor. This study, therefore, provides comparison of both metrics in poverty both quantitative and qualitative methods to be used in simple ways for rural development practitioners. Household poverty status was analyzed by applying FGT for poverty index & Binary logit regression model. The PPA also found seven explicate variables. The combined approach elucidates eases for identifying & having clear pictures of livelihood of rural people, typically the poor.
Download or read book Rural Poverty in the United States written by Ann R. Tickamyer and published by Columbia University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-22 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America's rural areas have always held a disproportionate share of the nation's poorest populations. Rural Poverty in the United States examines why. What is it about the geography, demography, and history of rural communities that keeps them poor? In a comprehensive analysis that extends from the Civil War to the present, Rural Poverty in the United States looks at access to human and social capital; food security; healthcare and the environment; homelessness; gender roles and relations; racial inequalities; and immigration trends to isolate the underlying causes of persistent rural poverty. Contributors to this volume incorporate approaches from multiple disciplines, including sociology, economics, demography, race and gender studies, public health, education, criminal justice, social welfare, and other social science fields. They take a hard look at current and past programs to alleviate rural poverty and use their failures to suggest alternatives that could improve the well-being of rural Americans for years to come. These essays work hard to define rural poverty's specific metrics and markers, a critical step for building better policy and practice. Considering gender, race, and immigration, the book appreciates the overlooked structural and institutional dimensions of ongoing rural poverty and its larger social consequences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Poverty reduction in recent years has received greater global attention. Poverty is mainly concentrated in rural areas of developing countries like India. To achieve this goal of poverty reduction, the need is to identify the pockets of rural poor along with the factors helping in poverty alleviation. The book, therefore, explores the estimates of rural poverty and its trends in Uttar Pradesh, which is one of the most populous states of India, characterized by high proportion of rural poor. The districts are analyzed to examine the impact of determining factors of rural poverty. This helps in targeting specific districts and provides direction for policy formulation to mitigate existing disparities in rural poverty and factors influencing it across the regions and districts in the state. The book also shed light for prioritizing the factors in reducing rural poverty. The study will be useful for students and researchers of development and agriculture economics working in area of poverty, rural development, rural infrastructure and agriculture.It will interest policymakers, poverty and agriculture analysts, public and private institutions as well as non government organizations.

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.

Finally, some guideposts are identified for assessing strategies to reduce rural poverty.

This book was released on 2018-10-17 with total page 95 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Rural counties make up about 80 percent of the land area of the United States, but they contain less than 20 percent of the U.S. population. The relative sparseness of the population in rural areas is one of many factors that influence the health and well-being of rural Americans. Rural areas have histories, economies, and cultures that differ from those of cities and from one rural area to another. Understanding these differences is critical to taking steps to improve health and well-being in rural areas and to reduce health disparities among rural populations. To explore the impacts of economic, demographic, and social issues in rural communities and to learn about asset-based approaches to addressing the associated challenges, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine held a workshop on June 13, 2017. This publication summarizes the presentations and discussions from the workshop.

Download or read book Collaborative capacity development to complement stroke rehabilitation in Africa written by Quinette Louw and published by AOSIS. This book was released on 2020-12-31 with total page 536 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This scholarly book focuses on stroke in Africa. Stroke is a leading cause of disability among adults of all ages, contributing significantly to health care costs related to long term implications, particularly if rehabilitation is sub-optimal. Given the burden of stroke in Africa, there is a need for a book that focuses on functioning African stroke survivors and the implications for rehabilitation within the African context. In addition, there is a need to progress with contextualised, person-centred, evidence-based guidance for the rehabilitation of people with stroke in Africa, thereby enabling them to lead socially and economically meaningful lives. The research incorporated in the book used a range of primary and secondary methodological approaches (scoping reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, descriptive studies, surveys, health economics, and clinical practice guideline methodology) to shed new insights into African-centred issues and strategies to optimise function post-stroke.
