Abstract

This study focuses on the interaction between disability, chronic poverty and gender in rural Bangladesh, relying on analysis of the Chronic Poverty and Long Term Impact Study conducted between 1997 and 2010. A series of logistic regressions investigate the relationship between disabilities and chronic poverty among women with their employment, education, assistance and household coping strategies. The results indicate that primary schooling is lower among girls compared with boys in chronically poor households, with implications for the intergenerational transmission of poverty. Even where the probability of employment for chronically poor women with disabilities is positive, these women are potentially unlikely to be engaged in work that safeguards their rights or contributes to poverty escapes. Moreover, in the face of shocks, poverty becomes stickier, in the absence of effectively targeted safety nets coupled with adverse coping strategies that prolong poverty. The article concludes with a call for ensuring that intersectionality is more firmly embedded into existing social protection programmes.

三重劣势的故事:孟加拉国农村的残疾、长期贫困和性别不平等
本研究基于对1997年至2010年间进行的长期贫困和长期影响研究的分析,重点关注孟加拉国农村残疾、长期贫困和性别之间的相互作用。一系列逻辑回归调查了残疾和妇女长期贫困与她们的就业、教育、援助和家庭应对策略之间的关系。结果表明,在长期贫困家庭中,女孩的小学教育程度低于男孩,这对贫困的代际传递产生了影响。即使在长期贫困残疾妇女就业的可能性为正的情况下,这些妇女也不太可能从事保障其权利或有助于脱贫的工作。此外,面对冲击,由于缺乏有效的有针对性的安全网,再加上延长贫困的不利应对策略,贫困变得更加棘手。文章最后呼吁确保将交叉性更牢固地纳入现有的社会保护方案。

期刊介绍: Global Social Policy is a fully peer-reviewed journal that advances the understanding of the impact of globalisation processes upon social policy and social development on the one hand, and the impact of social policy upon globalisation processes on the other hand. The journal analyses the contributions of a range of national and international actors, both governmental and non-governmental, to global social policy and social development discourse and practice. Global Social Policy publishes scholarly policy-oriented articles and reports that focus on aspects of social policy and social and human development as broadly defined in the context of globalisation be it in contemporary or historical contexts.
