Um Estudo sobre a Pobreza Rural com Abordagem Multivariada
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Neder,   Henrique Dantas.
É realizada a aplicação de uma metodologia para a construção de um índice de pobreza multivariada abrangendo um conjunto de variáveis que vão além do conceito de insuficiência de renda (considerado em medidas de pobreza unidimensionais), incluindo condições domiciliares, de saneamento, de mercado de trabalho e de educação. Comparam-se os resultados obtidos por esta metodologia e aqueles obtidos pela construção de um índice de pobreza unidimensional para os anos de 1995 e 2004, considerando-se as Unidades da Federação do Brasil. O principal aspecto relevante encontrado é que os indicadores de pobreza multivariada têm um ordenamento bastante distinto para as Unidades da Federação quando comparados com o ordenamento do indicador de pobreza baseado na...

Impacto dos rendimentos de aposentadoria e pensão na redução da pobreza rural
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Maia,   Alexandre Gori; Oliveria,   Marcelli Mariano; Ballini,   Rosangela; Dedecca,   Claudio Salvadori.
Este trabalho analisa o impacto dos rendimentos de aposentadoria e pensão sobre a redução da pobreza no Brasil. Mais especificamente, a análise terá como foco as diferenças existentes entre as famílias das áreas urbanas e rurais do país, nos anos de 1995 e 2006. A hipótese central é de que as aposentadorias e pensões cumprem importante papel no rendimento das famílias mais pobres e das áreas rurais, contribuindo principalmente para a redução da pobreza nas regiões mais precárias do país. Esta dependência teria ainda aumentado no período analisado devido, sobretudo, à vinculação dos rendimentos de aposentaria e pensão ao salário mínimo e aos ganhos reais observados por este no período.------------------------This papers analyzes the impacts of retirement...

The Lure of Tequila and the Bestowing of Motherly Love: Does it Matter Whether Public Cash Transfers are Given to Women or Men? Evidence from the PROGRESA and PROCAMPO Programs in Rural Mexico
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Davis,   Benjamin; Handa,   Sudhanshu; Stampini,   Marco; Winters,   Paul C.
This paper aims at evaluating the impact of two different cash transfer programs in rural Mexico - Procampo and Progresa - on total consumption, food consumption and other outcomes like investment, schooling and health care. Progresa is targeted to women, while Procampo goes to farmers, mostly men and many of which are poor. We show that both programs boost consumption. However, they obtain this effect through different channels. Progresa is destined to consumption expenditure directly, while Procampo, which is paid to landholders, boosts investments and needs time to produce its benefits. Furthermore, we separate program from gender effects and show that cash transfer programs targeted to men are beneficial only when the recipients own means of...

DECOMPOSIÇÃO DOS FATORES DE CRESCIMENTO PRÓ-POBRE: EVIDÊNCIAS PARA A ZONA RURAL BRASILEIRA
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Freitas,   George Alberto de; Carvalho,   Rosemeiry Melo; Campos,   Roberio Telmo.
O crescimento econômico de longo prazo é condição sine qua non para uma população garantir seu bem-estar e o de suas gerações futuras. Porém, muitas vezes o fluxo de renda em uma economia específica é insuficiente para proporcionar uma vida digna de modo que todos estejam inclusos na sociedade do consumo. Outras vezes há renda suficiente, mas nem toda sociedade se beneficia dos frutos gerados por esta. Este trabalho busca diagnosticar os fatores de crescimento através da decomposição dos índices de pobreza, identificando os fatores que influenciaram o crescimento econômico e a desigualdade de renda no Brasil entre 1995 e 2005. O modelo utilizado permite identificar se o crescimento econômico foi pró-pobre ou não. A análise foi realizada em âmbito nacional,...

Assessing the Vulnerability of Agricultural Households to Macroeconomic Shocks: Evidence from Mexico
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Rubio,   Gloria M.; Soloaga,   Isidro.
This paper uses cross-sectional data from Mexico before and after the 1994 peso crisis to analyze rural household vulnerability to macroeconomic shocks. The study suggests that agricultural households are less vulnerable than non-agricultural households. The impacts vary depending on type of production and specialization level. Among agricultural households, those with a higher proportion of corn and bean production for self-consumption fared better than households which engaged in stronger market participation. Although the decline in their monetary income and consumption was more or less similar to that of the more market-oriented agricultural households, they were better able to shield their total income and consumption as well as their food expenditures.

The Food Security Role of Agriculture in Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Adenew,   Berhanu.
This study analyses income, expenditure and food consumption data in Ethiopia to help explains the country's high probability of national food consumption shortfalls. The study argues that to reach the goal of increased national food security, it is necessary to improve market functioning, invest in infrastructure which reduces food transaction costs, provide incentives for increased production through strong support for producers, and, most importantly of all, reform current land tenure arrangements.

The Pattern of Livelihoods in a Typical Rural Village Provides New Perspectives on Botswana's Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Moepeng,   Pelotshweu T.; Tisdell,   Clement A.
Botswana’s average economic growth rate of about 8 per cent during 1985-2005 is one of highest in the world. A major contributor of this growth was mining which, in 2005/06, had a 41.4 per cent share of GDP. Various government welfare and empowerment programmes indicate that redistribution of the mineral wealth is widespread in Botswana. This article will show that the pattern of livelihoods in a typical rural village has changed and provide new perspectives on Botswana’s development. In particular, the article will show that contrary to expectations, agriculture is no longer a major source of income to the rural economy but income transfers from out migrants members of rural based households. It will also be shown that the proportion of the rural...

Rural Poverty and China's Entry to WTO: Present Knowledge, Unresolved Issues and China's Policy Options
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Tisdell,   Clement A.
Begins by considering trends in the incidence of rural poverty in China, comparing China and India. Although the incidence of rural poverty in China declined generally, such poverty is still a matter for concern, especially now that China has joined the WTO. There is concern about the possible impact of China’s WTO entry on its rural poverty and its ability to adopt policies to address it. Recent international studies of such poverty in China by bodies such as the World Bank, OECD, ADB and IFPRI are outlined and reviewed critically with these economic issues in mind. The most recent study by Anderson and others suggests that China’s agriculture will be forced to undertake more structural adjustment than forecast in earlier studies. The Chinese policies to...

Local Labor Market Conditions and the Jobless Poor: How Much Does Local Job Growth Help in Rural Areas?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Davis,   Elizabeth E.; Connolly,   Laura S.; Weber,   Bruce A.
The employment outcomes of a group of jobless poor Oregonians are tracked in order to analyze the relative importance of local labor market conditions on their employment outcomes. Local job growth increases the probability that a jobless poor adult will get a job and shortens the length of time until she finds a job. After accounting for both the effects of personal demographic characteristics and local job growth, there is little evidence that the probability of employment or the duration of joblessness differs in rural compared with urban areas.

Rice and Remittances: The Impact of Labour Migration on Rice Intensification in Southern Laos
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Manivong,   Vongpaphane; Cramb,   Rob A.; Newby,   Jonathan C.
Despite being a low‐income, agriculture‐based country with a subsistence‐orientation, Laos is in the early stages of a major economic transformation whereby rural households have been experiencing rapid change in their farming and livelihood systems. Some households have engaged in what the World Bank classifies as market‐oriented farming while other households have adopted labour‐oriented or migration‐oriented livelihood strategies. This paper explores how rural households in six villages in the lowlands of Champasak Province in southern Laos make a living. These villages vary in their access to irrigation and to markets. Nevertheless, in all villages, long‐term migration of younger household members to neighbouring Thailand has come to play a large role...

Toward a Territorial Approach to Rural Development
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: de Janvry,   Alain; Sadoulet,   Elisabeth.
This paper explores a territorial approach to rural development in Latin America. It first reviews evidence that progress in rural social development has not been accompanied by reductions in income poverty and inequality. It then assesses qualitative changes that have occurred in rural incomes and the emergence of new opportunities for rural poverty reduction and draws implications for the potential of a territorial approach to rural development. Recent experiences with territorial approaches are briefly reviewed and lessons extracted for the implementation of such an approach. It concludes with a series of recommendations for implementation of a territorial approach to rural development.

Are poor, remote areas left behind in agricultural development: the case of Tanzania
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Minot,   Nicholas.
In Tanzania, as in many other developing countries, the conventional wisdom is that economic reforms may have stimulated economic growth, but that the benefits of this growth have been uneven, favoring urban households and farmers with good market access. This idea, although quite plausible, has rarely been tested empirically. In this paper, we develop a new approach to measuring trends in poverty and apply it to Tanzania in order to explore the distributional aspects of economic growth and the relationship between rural poverty and market access. We find that, between 1991 and 2003, a period of extensive economic reforms, the overall rate of poverty fell about 9 percentage points. The degree of poverty reduction was similar between rural and urban areas,...

Rural Non-farm Livelihoods in Transition Economies: Emerging Issues and Policies
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Davis,   Junior.
This article reviews key conceptual issues related to the development of the rural non-farm economy (RNFE) in a transition context and analyses available empirical evidence on the role of RNFE during recovery from the transition recession. Growth in the RNFE in the transition countries took place during the recession transition, which shows that it may be distress driven, but the paper explores other factors which may be driving the RNFE. It looks at the RNFE in light of the factors driving income growth and inequality, i.e. endowments and institutions. It concludes that, although not uniform across transition countries, the RNFE should be seen as a component of a growth strategy rather than as a temporary “refuge” or survival one. The patterns of growth...

Autores: Lucas,   Robert E.B.
The paper summarizes the key routes through which internal and international migration impact rural development and some of the evidence pertaining to these effects in low income countries. It concludes that, although the study of migration impacts on rural economies has come a long way from the early dual theories of development, some of the potentially more important aspects remain to be investigated systematically.

Literatures about the relationship between human capital investment and rural poverty are reviewed. According to the time-series data from 1990 to 2007, VAR model and variance research are used to study the relationship between household human capital investment and rural poverty. Results shows that there is long-run equilibrium relationship between household capital investment and rural poverty. Educational investment and health investment have significant impacts on the alleviation of rural poverty; while migration investment does not have significant impact on the alleviation of rural poverty. Among the factors causing poverty fluctuations, educational investment has greater impacts on poverty fluctuations than health investment in the short run, but...

Autores: Fan,   Shenggen; Gulati,   Ashok; Thorat,   Sukhadeo.
This paper reviews the trends in government subsidies and investments in and for Indian agriculture; develops a conceptual framework and model to assess the impact of various subsidies and investments on agricultural growth and poverty reduction; and, presents several reform options with regard to reprioritizing government spending and improving institutions and governance. There are three major findings. First, initial subsidies in credit, fertilizer, and irrigation have been crucial for small farmers to adopt new technologies. Small farms are often losers in the initial adoption stage of a new technology since prices of the agricultural products are typically being pushed down by greater supply of products from large farms, which adopted the new...

New Empiric Evidences of the Income of the Rural Families of the Southern Region of Brazil: Comparing the Years of 1995 and 2001

Autores: Souza,   Marcelino de.
This work compares the incomes of the rural families of the Southern Region of Brazil in the years of 1995 and 2001, using the special micro data tabulation of the National Sample Home Research (PNADs). The results show that the agricultural income is steady: the non - agricultural income has grown in some kinds of families; the pensions/retirement incomes have increased among the families in the universe of home agriculture; and the "other incomes" are irrelevant. It is inferred that low economical dynamism of the rural cities and the agricultural crisis led to agricultural income stagnation and also to an impoverishment process of the families. Thus, there is a need of redefining the public policies for the rural families concerning the diversity of...

Analysis of poverty and its covariates among smallholder farmers in the eastern Hararghe highlands of Ethiopia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bogale,   Ayalneh; Korf,   Benedikt.
This paper analyses the extent and determinants of rural household poverty in the eastern highlands of Ethiopia. We study 216 households using a household consumption expenditure approach. We are particularly interested in the effects of location-specific and institutional factors (networks) in determining the probability of being poor. Our findings suggest that poverty is location-specific, depends on access to irrigated land (not land per se) and access to non-farm income. Results also indicate that household wellbeing is negatively affected by household size, and positively affected by age of household head. Involvement in governance, social and production related networks is also found to be strongly associated with the probability of a household be...

This paper draws together findings from different elements of a research project examining critical components of pro-poor agricultural growth and of policies that can promote such growth in poor rural economies in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Agricultural growth, a critical driver in poverty reducing growth in many poor agrarian economies in the past, faces many difficulties in today’s poor rural areas in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. Some of these difficulties are endogenous to these areas while others result from broader processes of global change. Active state interventions in ‘kick starting’ markets in 20th century green revolutions suggest that another major difficulty may be current policies which emphasize the benefits of liberalization...

LINKAGES BETWEEN POVERTY AND LAND MANAGEMENT IN RURAL  UGANDA: EVIDENCE FROM THE UGANDA NATIONAL HOUSEHOLD  SURVEY, 1999/00
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pender,   John L.; Ssewanyana,   Sarah N.; Edward,   Kato; Nkonya,   Ephraim M.
This study investigates the impacts of rural poverty on farmers' land management decisions, crop production and incomes, based upon analysis of data from the 1999/2000 Uganda National Household Survey. We find that the impacts of rural poverty on land management, crop production and income depend upon the type of poverty (i.e., what asset or access factor is constrained) and the type of land management considered. Ugandan households that are poorer in terms of access to land use labor more intensively and are less likely to use several land management practices and inputs, though among households that do use non-labor inputs, land-poor households use many of these inputs more intensively. As a result, land-poor households obtain higher value of crop...

Agricultural Technology Choices for Poor Farmers in  Less-Favored Areas of South and East Asia
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Pender,   John L.
During the past several decades dramatic improvement has occurred in agricultural productivity and livelihoods in South and East Asia, stimulated by the Green Revolution and supported by several other factors. Nevertheless, hundreds of millions of rural people in less-favored environments of this region still live in poverty and received limited benefit from the Green Revolution. To address these problems, alternative technological approaches to the conventional Green Revolution technologies are being advocated to address the problems of poor farmers in less-favored areas of Asia, including low external input and sustainable agricultural approaches, organic agriculture and biotechnology. This paper reviews the literature on agricultural technology options...

Factors Affecting Poverty Dynamics in Rural Zambia.
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Chapoto,   Antony; Banda,   Diana J.; Haggblade,   Steven; Hamukwala,   Priscilla.
Rural poverty rates in Zambia have remained very high, at 80%, over the past decade and a half, whilst urban poverty rates have declined, from 49% in 1991 to 34% in 2006. Redressing this high rural poverty rate remains a government priority in the National Development Programs. However, solutions have proven elusive. Solid empirically based information on dynamics that have improved the welfare of small-scale farm households in Zambia, combined with an agenda for disseminating this information in public discourse, offer prospects for generating a more transparent and pro-poor policy orientation. Using longitudinal data collected from 4,286 households which participated in three nationwide surveys conducted over seven years, in 2001, 2004, and 2008, we...

WHY DOES POVERTY PERSIST IN RURAL ETHIOPIA?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Bogale,   Ayalneh; Hagedorn,   Konrad; Korf,   Benedikt.
This paper seeks to address the question: why does poverty persist in rural Ethiopia? We argue that it is largely a lack of entitlements to fundamental livelihood assets which urges poor rural farmers into livelihood diversification to make a living. We base our findings on empirical work, which is based on information gathered from a three-round survey of 149 rural households in Ethiopia during 1999/2000 cropping season. The FGT poverty index is employed to examine the extent and severity of rural poverty and reveals that nearly 40% of the sample households live below poverty line with average poverty gap of 0.047. The binary logit estimates shed light on factors behind the persistence of poverty and indicates that rural poverty is strongly linked to...

Rural Out-Migration, Income, and Poverty: Are Those Who Move Truly Better Off?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Marre,   Alexander W.
Are working-age rural migrants to urban areas really better off?  This paper uses data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics from 1979 to 1997 to answer this question.  It builds on literature by Fisher (2005, 2007) on the role of unmeasured characteristics in influencing rural residential choice and economic outcomes.  Recursive bivariate probit models of migration and household poverty and two-stage least squares models of migration and household income are estimated for three periods: 1979 to 1985, 1985 to 1991, and 1991 to 1997.  The models used in this study suggest that the relationship between rural out-migration and poverty is mixed, while there appears to be no discernable effect of rural out-migration on income in the short-run.

The Role of Agriculture in Reducing Poverty in Tanzania: A Household Perspective from Rural Kilimanjaro and Ruvuma
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Sarris,   Alexander H.; Savastano,   Sara; Christiaensen,   Luc J.M.
This paper explores how farm productivity affects poverty, and how various factor market constraints affect farm productivity. The empirical analysis draws on representative surveys of farm households in Kilimanjaro and Ruvuma, two cash crop growing regions in Tanzania. We find that poorer households do not only possess fewer assets, but are also much less productive. We find that agricultural productivity directly affects household consumption and hence overall poverty and welfare. Stochastic production frontier analysis indicates that many farmers are farming well below best practice in the region.

Abstract The theoretical framework “heritage and patrimony of the peasantry” and its suggested operationalization potentially offers an improvement over previous approaches to analyse rural development. The first application of the concept was carried out in Colombia, quantifying rural development indicators in six rural territories. The most critical indicators to define rural development in this context were identified as follows: biodiversity, recycling and communal values. Based on these findings, human patrimony has the lowest level of all the heritages of the Colombian peasantry. Public policies to overcome these matters in the post-conflict era, should be the priority of rural development strategies.

Applying a bioeconomic optimal control model to charcoal production: the case of slash-and-burn agriculture in Mexico
Provedor de dados: 118
Autores: Arrocha,Fernando; Villena,Mauricio G.
This paper analyzes the relationship between rural poverty and forest land management for the case of charcoal production under slash-and-burn agriculture. An optimal control model is used to determine how a representative household makes decisions about the allocation of labor and about the forest areas to exploit. In turn, these decisions affect the renewable resource base available to the community. The proposed optimal control model for charcoal production is based on the Pascual and Barbier (2007) model of slash-and-burn agriculture. This theoretical model is calibrated with data from the community of Chunkanán, Campeche, Mexico. The simulation and comparison of the traditional slash-and-burn approach to forest management with the Forest Management...
