Abstract

Poverty is a stochastic phenomenon as the economic status of a household can change in the face of shocks and in the absence of resources to mitigate the effect of shocks. Thus, a static measure of poverty may not be very reliable for policy formulation. This article attempts to analyse the level of vulnerability to poverty across rural agricultural households by using 3 stage feasible generalized least square (3S FGLS) method and examines the determinants of households’ vulnerability to poverty by logistic regression. In addition, a concerted effort is made to explore the similarities and differences between the determinants of vulnerability and those of poverty. The study used NSSO 70th round (2012–2013) Situation Assessment Survey of Agricultural Households data. The analysis reveals most of the determinants of poverty and vulnerability to be similar although it differs in strength on the impacts and significance level. The FGLS estimates show that the vulnerability of household level is much higher at 50.07% as compared to poverty rate, which is at 43.52% in the study area. Education of the household head, diversification of economic activities and social safety nets are found to be very significant in reducing vulnerability of a household. The safety nets are found to be not significant in reducing poverty. Nonetheless, they are effective in anchoring the vulnerable households against falling into poverty in the study area.

曼尼普尔邦农村贫困脆弱性量化:基于NSSO第70轮数据的农户研究
贫困是一种随机现象,因为一个家庭的经济地位可能在面对冲击和缺乏减轻冲击影响的资源时发生变化。因此,对贫穷的静态衡量对于政策的制定可能不是很可靠。本文尝试采用三阶段可行广义最小二乘(3S - FGLS)方法分析农村农户的贫困脆弱性水平,并通过logistic回归检验农户贫困脆弱性的决定因素。此外,还作出协调一致的努力,探讨易受伤害的决定因素与贫穷的决定因素之间的异同。本研究采用NSSO第70轮(2012-2013)农户情况评估调查数据。分析表明,贫困和脆弱性的大多数决定因素是相似的,尽管它们在影响和显著性水平上的强度不同。FGLS估算结果显示,家庭层面的脆弱性为50.07%,远高于研究区43.52%的贫困率。人们发现,户主的教育、经济活动的多样化和社会安全网对于减少家庭的脆弱性非常重要。研究发现,安全网在减少贫困方面作用不大。尽管如此,它们在研究地区的弱势家庭陷入贫困方面是有效的。

期刊介绍: Millennial Asia: An International Journal of Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary, refereed biannual journal of the Association of Asia Scholars (AAS)–an association of the alumni of the Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF). It aims to encourage multifaceted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on Asia, in order to understand its fast changing context as a growth pole of global economy. By providing a forum for Asian scholars situated globally, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community, civil society and policy makers on Asian issues. The journal examines Asia on a regional and comparative basis, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. Modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economies and political institutions, among others. It confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion and communal identifies while embracing globalization. An analysis of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. In particular, the journal is interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical perspective, through the use of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. This way, it hopes to promote comparative studies involving Asia’s various regions. The journal brings out both thematic and general issues and the thrust areas are: Asian integration, Asian economies, sociology, culture, politics, governance, security, development issues, arts and literature and any other such issue as the editorial board may deem fit. The core fields include development encompassing agriculture, industry, regional trade, social sectors like health and education and development policy across the region and in specific countries in a comparative perspective.
