Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to investigate the determinants of household poverty in Ethiopia. The study used the national survey data collected by the World Bank during the second phase in 2014. The study employed a binary logistic regression model to identify the determinants of household poverty. Results show that educational level of the household head, family size, dependency ratio, residence of the household, the region in which the household resides, ownership of non-farm enterprises (construction), economic status of the household (high), source of start-up enterprises (credit and saving institutions), and lack of supporting institutions were the factors affecting the probability that a household is poor.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
