This book was released on 2014 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This annotated bibliography forms part of CPRC's Phase 3 foundational research theme Empirical Methods for Studying Intergenerational Transmissions of Poverty (IGT), which attempts to identify the extent to which such processes occur, the nature and reversibility of such processes in different contexts and occurring at different times, and the range of factors that increase the likelihood that poverty is passed from one generation to the next. This annotated bibliography is divided into sections corresponding to key themes in the IGT literature, and is structured as follows: - IGT Research Online - Definitions, Concepts and Frameworks - Methods for Investigating IGT Processes - Health, Nutrition and Irreversibilities in Child Development - Education, Training and Reversals in Poverty Trajectories - Intergenerational Transmission of Poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa (This section deals specifically with relevant, recent texts examining poverty processes in sub-Saharan Africa not included in previous sections, with an emphasis on agricultural livelihoods, conflict, ageing, street children, and social capital.) The annotated bibliography is indexed by keyword, country/region, and author.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the United States "the land of equal opportunity" or is the playing field tilted in favor of those whose parents are wealthy, well educated, and white? If family background is important in getting ahead, why? And if the processes that transmit economic status from parent to child are unfair, could public policy address the problem? Unequal Chances provides new answers to these questions by leading economists, sociologists, biologists, behavioral geneticists, and philosophers. New estimates show that intergenerational inequality in the United States is far greater than was previously thought. Moreover, while the inheritance of wealth and the better schooling typically enjoyed by the children of the well-to-do contribute to this process, these two standard explanations fail to explain the extent of intergenerational status transmission. The genetic inheritance of IQ is even less important. Instead, parent-offspring similarities in personality and behavior may play an important role. Race contributes to the process, and the intergenerational mobility patterns of African Americans and European Americans differ substantially.

This book was released on 2022-12-27 with total page 313 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The widening of income and wealth inequality has become one of the most important obstacles on the road to China’s common prosperity. In the context of inequality reduction and anti-poverty strategy in China, this book investigates the complex relationship between education and intergenerational mobility in terms of occupation and income. Based on large-scale social survey data, cutting-edge econometric models and statistical methods, the book examines the role of education in breaking the intergenerational transmission of poverty and promoting intergenerational mobility. It analyzes the characteristics of birth cohorts in intergenerational mobility, the long-term trends of educational, occupational, and income mobility among rural and urban residents across generations, and also the different regional patterns of intergenerational mobility against the background of social changes in China. Based on empirical findings, the author advances suggestions on an education policy conducive to poverty alleviation. The book will appeal to scholars and students studying the sociology of education, the economics of education and Chinese education, as well as policy makers interested in the topics of education policy systems and poverty alleviation, as well as education equity and social mobility.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The weight of history hangs heavy on some families. Poverty, like a stubborn vine, can wrap itself around generations, constricting opportunities and dimming dreams. It's a relentless force, shaping lives before they even begin, whispering limitations in the ears of children, and casting a shadow over their futures. This book isn't about resignation. It's about rebellion. It's about tearing down the walls that poverty builds and claiming the inheritance that should be every child's birthright: the inheritance of opportunity. Generational poverty, the persistent cycle of economic hardship passed down through families, is a complex and deeply rooted problem. It's not a matter of personal failing; it's a systemic web of obstacles that can feel insurmountable. Limited access to quality education, low-wage jobs with little chance for advancement, the burden of debt - these are just some of the threads that bind families in poverty. The consequences are far-reaching, impacting health, education, and overall well-being, not just for the present generation but for generations to come. But amidst the hardship, there are glimmers of hope. Individuals with unwavering determination have broken free from the cycle. Innovative programs are making a difference. Communities are coming together to create pathways to a brighter future. This book is a testament to that hope. It delves into the root causes of generational poverty, but more importantly, it explores the solutions.

This book was released on 2014 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Initial work done by the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC) suggests that the tightest possible definition of chronic poverty would be intergenerationally transmitted (IGT) poverty. However, while this concept has been widely used in a 'developed' country (particularly American) context, focusing particularly on issues of state-benefit dependence, it has rarely been applied to the 'developing' world in a holistic manner. In this paper, a framework for understanding IGT poverty in developing country contexts is developed, focusing on bringing together literature on the intergenerational transfer, extraction, and absence of transfer of different forms of capital: human, social-cultural, social-political, financial/material and environmental/natural. It is important to note that while the concept of IGT poverty is primarily used to signify the 'private' transmission of poverty from older generations of individuals and families to younger generations (especially, but not solely, from parents to children) - and therefore has special relevance to issues of childhood poverty - poverty-related capital can also be transmitted from younger generations to older generations, and within and between the 'public' spheres of community, state and market. It is suggested that of the range of structures, processes, and livelihood strategies that can affect IGT poverty, a few are particularly important in developing countries: HIV/AIDS, migration patterns, socio-legal entitlement norms, labour market structures, and the presence or absence of social safety nets and social services. The paper concludes with a discussion of the policy implications of IGT poverty. It is hypothesised that policy interventions will differ depending on the type of capital transmitted, as well as on the general approach to poverty reduction - whether an approach targeted at particular individuals or groups within one generation, or a strategic and instrumental approach focusing on intergenerational structures and relationships.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ending poverty and stabilizing climate change will be two unprecedented global achievements and two major steps toward sustainable development. But the two objectives cannot be considered in isolation: they need to be jointly tackled through an integrated strategy. This report brings together those two objectives and explores how they can more easily be achieved if considered together. It examines the potential impact of climate change and climate policies on poverty reduction. It also provides guidance on how to create a “win-win†? situation so that climate change policies contribute to poverty reduction and poverty-reduction policies contribute to climate change mitigation and resilience building. The key finding of the report is that climate change represents a significant obstacle to the sustained eradication of poverty, but future impacts on poverty are determined by policy choices: rapid, inclusive, and climate-informed development can prevent most short-term impacts whereas immediate pro-poor, emissions-reduction policies can drastically limit long-term ones.
