Abstract:
This article critically assesses prevailing measures of global poverty. A welfarist interpretation of global poverty lines is augmented by the idea of normative functionings, the cost of which varies across countries. In this light, current absolute measures are seen to ignore important social effects on welfare, while popular, strongly relative measures ignore absolute levels of living. It is argued that a new hybrid measure is called for, combining absolute and weakly relative measures consistent with how national lines vary across countries. Illustrative calculations indicate that we are seeing a falling incidence of poverty globally over the past 30 years. This is mainly due to lower absolute poverty counts in the developing world. While fewer people are poor by the global absolute standard, more are poor by the country-specific relative standard. The vast bulk of poverty, both absolute and relative, is now found in the developing world.

Abstract:
Poverty is rather high in contemporary Russia: every eighth Russian was poor according to the official statistics in 2018. Fighting poverty is among the top strategic development goals for the period till 2024. The paper studies gender disparities in poverty among Russian adults. Better understanding of gender structure of poverty in Russia would facilitate poverty reduction via better targeting and better tailoring of policy instruments. We utilize micro data of the Survey of income and social program participation by Rosstat as of 2017 for our statistical analysis. Two alternative poverty concepts are used: absolute income poverty (the official methodology of poverty measurement in Russia) and poverty risk and social exclusion index (the key component of poverty monitoring indicator in the EU). The latter index is a composition of relative poverty and deprivation poverty measures. Our results indicate that, on average, there is no gender poverty gap in Russia when absolute poverty concept is used: poverty rates among males and females are the same on average. Hence, we find no statistical support to the widely used by the media thesis of poverty feminization in Russia. Absolute poverty rate, however, is found to vary significantly across different gender-age groups: absolute income poverty among females is higher than among males in young and senior ages, while males are poorer in mid-age groups. When multiple criteria definition of poverty and social exclusion (AROPE) is applied, we find clear signs of feminization of poverty in Russia. Multidimensional poverty is much higher among females, and this is observed in all age groups. The highest gender poverty gap is observed in senior ages. The age-gender poverty structure changes dramatically when we move from absolute poverty concept to the multidimensional one: we observe higher share of females in poverty, and higher share of senior people in poverty. The key determinants of higher multidimensional poverty of females is their relatively (to males) lower wages, and relatively lower pensions.

Abstract:
A new basis for an international poverty measurement is proposed based on linear programming for specifying the least cost diet and explicit budgeting for nonfood spending. This approach is superior to the World Bank's $1-a-day line because it is (i) clearly related to survival and well being; (ii) comparable across time and space since the same nutritional requirements are used everywhere while nonfood spending is tailored to climate; (iii) adjusts consumption patterns to local prices; (iv) presents no index number problems since solutions are always in local prices; and (v) requires only readily available information. The new approach implies much more poverty than the World Bank's, especially in Asia. (JEL C61, I14, I31, I32, O15)

Objective - This study aims to determine the effect of educational level, socio-cultural, development programs, and the degree of dependence on absolute poverty. Methodology/Technique - Variables taken is Level of education, Social-cultural conditions, The development program, The degree of dependence, Absolute poverty. Findings - The results showed that all the independent variables are positively correlated with the absolute poverty but not significant at all levels of education. It also looks at the effect of predictions, not all significant. Novelty - The study indicates that education can change the conditions of absolute poverty to relative poverty levels or structural poverty, let alone to pursue a better life.

Abstract:
There has been considerable controversy and debate over recent years about the most appropriate method of measuring poverty. This debate has included, among other issues, the questions of absolute versus relative poverty, the merits of money income as a measure of the standard of living and the associated selection of poverty lines and equivalence scales, and the selection of alternative indices of poverty. A review of the literature indicates that the choice of differing approaches to poverty measurement can lead to differing estimates of poverty. In the face of such results an evaluation of the impact upon poverty estimates of alternative measurement methodology is appropriate. This thesis assesses the impact upon the estimated level of poverty of variations in some of the key poverty measurement parameters. The expenditure data derived from the 1975-76, 1984 and 1993-94 Household Expenditure Surveys have been analysed to assess the sensitivity of poverty estimates, derived from a range of poverty indices, to variations in the generosity of the equivalence scales, the level of the poverty line, and the choice of the indicator of the level of resources used. The sensitivity of each poverty index to variations in these parameters is assessed at both the aggregated level and for the specified household types, while those population subgroups particularly susceptible to poverty are also identified. The poverty distributions derived for each of the survey years are compared to evaluate the impact upon changes in the level of poverty over time of variations in the underlying parameters. The thesis concludes that both poverty estimates at a point in time, and poverty trends over time are sensitive to variations in the equivalence scales, in the level of the poverty line, in the selection of the indicator of the level of resources, and in the choice of poverty index itself. In light of these results, a review of recent Australian poverty research concludes that insufficient attention has been paid to the sensitivity issues associated with the measurement of poverty.

Brunner, Melanie. "Pope John XXII and the Franciscan ideal of absolute poverty." Thesis, University of Leeds, 2006. http://etheses.whiterose.ac.uk/1095/.

Abstract:
My thesis offers an investigation into Pope John XXII's view of the Franciscan poverty ideal and his reasons for rejecting the doctrine of the absolute poverty of Christ in the bull Cum inter nonnullos (1323). After establishing the state of the question in the introduction, the first two chapters situate John XXII's discussion of Franciscan poverty in the context of his pontificate and the process of decisionmaking at the curia. Chapter I presents a historical overview of the course of the poverty controversy and of the curial debate, while chapter II focuses on the development of the pope's approach to some of the issues he encountered during his pontificate. This chapter examines John's legal training, his suppression of the Franciscan Spirituals and the role of the Spiritual crisis in shaping his view of Franciscan poverty. I also compare the pope's treatment of the Spirituals to his reform of the order of Grandmont. The Spiritual crisis can be interpreted as having focused the pope's attention on the implications of the Franciscan poverty ideal for the structure of the church, and chapter III therefore moves to a discussion of the ecclesiological implications of Franciscan poverty and John's reaction to this (potential) threat. It is shown, however, that the pope's unease about the Franciscan ideal went beyond the ecclesiological problems posed by the Franciscan order, and the final two chapters turn to a discussion of John's specifically theological and legal objections to the Franciscan poverty ideal as they are set out in his Franciscan bulls. Chapter IV examines the theological reasons behind the pope's condemnation of the Franciscan ideal and especially his discussion of the scriptural title of Franciscan poverty. It is demonstrated that the pope rejected the idea that evangelical and apostolic poverty could be defined as non-ownership of material goods. Chapter V then explores John's discussion of dominium and the Franciscan ideal from a legal perspective. John's definition of dominium as an essential part of the human condition marks his most fundamental disagreement with the Franciscan order, and I suggest that this disagreement over the role of dominium in the history of salvation was at the heart of John XXII's unease about the Franciscan poverty ideal.

Scholars identify the early 1960s as the moment when Americans rediscovered poverty – as the time when Presidents, policymakers, and the public shifted their attention away from celebrating the affluence of the 1950s and toward directly helping poor people within the culture of poverty through major federal programs such as the Peace Corps and Job Corps. This dissertation argues that this moment should not be viewed as a rediscovery of poverty by Americans. Rather, it should be viewed as a paradigm shift that conceptually unified the understanding of both foreign and domestic privation within the concept of a culture of poverty. A culture of poverty equally hindered poor people all around the world, resulting in widespread illiteracy in India and juvenile delinquency in Indianapolis. Policymakers defined poverty less by employment rate or location (rural poverty in Ghana versus inner-city poverty in New York) and more by the cultural values of the poor people (apathy toward change, disdain for education, lack of planning for the future, and desire for immediate gratification). In a sense, the poor person who lived in the Philippines and the one who lived in Philadelphia became one. They suffered from the same cultural limitations and could be helped through the same remedy. There were not just similarities between programs to alleviate poverty in either the Third World or America; the two became one in the mid-1960s. Makers of policy in the War on Poverty understood all poverty around the world as identical and approached it with the same remedy. President John Kennedy inspired the paradigm shift. After reading about the culture of poverty in Dwight Macdonald’s review of Michael Harrington’s book The Other America: Poverty in the United States, Kennedy began to bring together experts within a new mentality to discuss a program to end poverty. The experts had been working for separate programs that focused on seemingly disparate issues—juvenile delinquency, poverty in New England, and Third World development—but they now realized that they were all working on the same problem, namely, the culture of poverty. The understanding that cultural values created poverty led them to unify their programs and approaches as they created the War on Poverty in 1964. The discovery was not the beginning of national attention on poverty but a culmination that brought together prominent people, ideas, and programs already in existence within a new paradigm.

The paper develops the argument between "social question", poverty and income transfer, with the objective of evaluating the impact of the Bolsa Familia program on the absolute and relative pauperism in Brazil. Specifically, the objectives revolve around the historical and theoretical discussion of pauperism in the capitalist mode of production; analysis of the relationship between work and "social question" in the reproduction of labor power in Brazil from the aspects of their social-economic formation; and finally, understanding the relationship between poverty and Bolsa Familia in order to identify the impacts of the program on the absolute and relative pauperism. The hypothesis is that, by the profile of beneficiaries, absolute poverty has been impacted, what is not true about the processes of relative impoverishment, which continue to reproduce. However, although this impact is perceived levels of absolute impoverishment of the configurations assumed by the contemporary work, the objective conditions of dependency in which the peripheral countries are entered, or even the contemporary crisis are factors in allow us to say that you can not stop the reproduction of poverty in the country. Perhaps, contrary to what is preached, this program presents itself as an attempt to impact the objective tendency of capital return to absolute impoverishment in contemporary times. In this sense, the issue of research involves the discussion of absolute and relative pauperism in contemporary capitalism turning to face the question of poverty in Brazil and from the Lula government. Given the problematic set, some questions arise: What are the impacts of the Bolsa Família Program on the true poverty alleviation, in its absolute and relative face? There are real possibilities to impact this reality, or poverty would have been strengthened by measures taken on absolute poverty and relative poverty in unnoticed? Put another way: Was the Bolsa Família encouraging the breeding cycle of poverty in Brazil? These are some of the issues that underlie this research. To carry out the research with a qualitative study, through the use of bibliographic and documentary research, using secondary data available in electronic media was performed. Considering the social function of bound reproduction of the labor force in the country program, one can say that the Bolsa Família Program was established as a minimalist action in the face of poverty and social inequality maximized, functioning as a palliative. Obviously, capital operates an attempt to obscure the contradictory reality that is called, justifying the poor by the poor themselves, and never correlated with the amount of wealth produced. The trajectory described by the development of the capitalist mode of production reached its most recent phase combining high levels of exploitation of labor by maximizing the sequels of "social issue," including poverty. No doubt this is a move that leads to the deepening of private appropriation of socially produced wealth, and the consequences fall directly on the working class.
A dissertação desenvolve a discussão entre questão social , pobreza e transferência de renda, com o objetivo de avaliar os impactos do programa Bolsa Família sobre o pauperismo absoluto e relativo no Brasil. Especificamente, os objetivos giram em torno do debate histórico e teórico do pauperismo no modo de produção capitalista; a análise da relação entre trabalho e questão social na reprodução da força de trabalho no Brasil a partir dos aspectos da sua formação econômico social; e, por último, a compreensão da relação entre a pobreza e o Bolsa Família com vistas a identificar os impactos do programa sobre o pauperismo absoluto e relativo. A hipótese sustentada é de que, pelo perfil dos beneficiários, a pobreza absoluta tem sido impactada, o que não é verdade sobre os processos de empobrecimento relativo, que continuam a se reproduzir. No entanto, ainda que este impacto seja percebido, os níveis de um empobrecimento absoluto pelas configurações assumidas pelo trabalho na contemporaneidade, as condições objetivas de dependência na qual os países periféricos estão inseridos, ou até mesmo a situação contemporânea de crise, são fatores que nos permitem afirmar que não é possível deter a reprodução de pobreza no país. Talvez, ao contrário do que seja apregoado, este programa se apresente como uma tentativa de impactar a tendência objetiva do capital de retorno a pauperização absoluta na contemporaneidade. Nesse sentido, a problemática da pesquisa envolve a discussão sobre o pauperismo absoluto e relativo no capitalismo contemporâneo voltando-se para a questão do enfrentamento a pobreza no Brasil e partir do governo Lula. Tendo em vista a problemática posta, algumas questões surgem: Quais são os impactos do Programa Bolsa Família sobre a verdadeira diminuição da pobreza, na sua face absoluta e relativa? Há reais possibilidades de impactar esta realidade, ou a pobreza teria sido reforçada pelas medidas tomadas sobre a pobreza absoluta e não percebidas na pobreza relativa? Dito de outra forma: Estaria o Bolsa Família fomentando o ciclo de reprodução da pobreza no Brasil? Essas são algumas das questões que perpassam esta pesquisa. Para a realização da investigação foi feita uma pesquisa do tipo qualitativa, através da verificação bibliográfica e documental, com a utilização de dados secundários disponíveis em meio eletrônico. Considerando a função social do programa ligada a reprodução da força de trabalho no país, pode-se dizer que o Programa Bolsa Família constitui-se como uma ação minimalista em face da pobreza e da desigualdade social maximizadas, funcionando como um paliativo. Obviamente, o capital opera a tentativa de obscurecer a realidade contraditória que está posta, justificando os pobres pelos próprios pobres, e nunca os correlacionando com o montante de riqueza produzido. A trajetória descrita pelo desenvolvimento do modo de produção capitalista chegou a sua fase mais recente combinando altos níveis de exploração do trabalho com a maximização das seqüelas da questão social , inclusive a pobreza. Sem dúvida, este é um movimento que conduz ao aprofundamento da apropriação privada da riqueza socialmente produzida, e as conseqüências disso recaem diretamente sobre a classe trabalhadora.

Abstract:
The aim of this article is to measure poverty in Portugal from an absolute perspective. We estimated several absolute poverty lines and defined maximum and minimum thresholds. We applied aggregation measures to these thresholds and constructed probit models to assess the effect of some variables on poverty. The intervals obtained contain the poverty lines constructed by other approaches. We got evidence that poverty is positively correlated with the number of people in the household, with living alone; negatively correlated with the number of workers in the household, the share on non-food expenditure and the existence of a heating device at home.

Abstract:
Between 45-57% of South Africans are estimated to be engulfed by poverty. In an attempt to identify policy instruments that could help change this status quo, the various strategies that have been implemented in countries (e.g. China, Vietnam and Uganda) that are known to have been relatively successful in reducing poverty are reviewed. In the process, this dissertation discusses the literature regarding poverty, with a particular emphasis on the definition, measurement and determinants thereof. Furthermore, South Africa's anti-poverty strategies are discussed. It turns out that these have met limited success. This is largely due to insufficient pro-poor economic growth, weak implementation/administration at the municipal level, slow asset redistribution, high income/wealth inequality, low job generation rate by SMME's, high HIV/AIDS infection rate, public corruption and inadequate monitoring of poverty. Therefore, if meaningful progress towards poverty reduction is to be achieved, the government needs to deal with the foregoing constraints accordingly.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter outlines a framework around the concept of care poverty. This framework is based on three domains of care poverty and two measurement approaches. The three domains are personal care poverty, practical care poverty, and socio-emotional care poverty. Personal care poverty means inadequate support for personal care needs like bathing and toileting. Practical care poverty stands for a lack of help in meeting practical care needs like cleaning, shopping, and transportation. Socio-emotional care poverty is deprivation of support for emotional and social needs. Concerning measurement approaches, care poverty is measured mainly in two ways. The situation where an older person has care needs but does not receive any formal or informal support is called as absolute care poverty. Alternatively, if an older person with care needs self-reports (or is reported by proxy respondents) not to receive sufficient support, the situation is called relative care poverty, irrespective of whether the person receives informal or formal care or not. When combined, the three domains and the two measurement approaches produce six different categories of care poverty.

Abstract:
A country's wealth and poverty are opposite to each other, but they are two inseparable important elements. The more the subject how to increase the welfare of the country is important, the more the distribution of this welfare among country members, especially. Although the observed increase in global prosperity with 21st century in especial that adopted neo-liberal policies in all over the world has caused to further deepening of the phenomenon of poverty. This case has given rise that concept of the "Poverty" has been discussed intensively workers in manufacturing is important. So, issues of fair distribution of income and prevention of poverty should be handled as interdisciplinary, mainly including social policy. That socio-economic and political structure of societies are different has been complicated to have a common definition on the concept of poverty. The World Bank, based on the absolute poverty approach, has made a research to determine the poverty line in the world (by getting base the ones who reap a profit below $ 1) and has determined that the poor class has remained in “minority” compared to world population. As it appears; more than half of the world population is below of the poverty line in reality. While seen daily increases in the welfare of the world countries, given the impression that poverty decreases does not reflect the reality. In this study, why poverty cannot be prevented besides causes of increase will be examined; this dangerous situation rapidly increasing in Turkey and in the world will be analyzed.

Abstract:
The paper analyses construction and use of a selected indicator of pro-poor growth – the rate of pro-poor growth. It further explains the interpretation of this indicator in absolute and relative terms and indicates how economic growth affects poverty and inequality. The selected indicator is applied to the example of Indonesia and compares pro-poor growth in urban and rural areas of the country, examines regional disparities in terms of pro-poor growth for the period 1996–2019. From the absolute interpretation, pro-poor growth is observed in both urban and rural areas over the whole period. In relative terms, results of pro-poor growth for the first partial period (1996–2000) differ. While there was a relative pro-poor growth in the rural areas, there was a strong pro-poor growth in the cities with a significant decline in inequality observed (incomes of poor people increased while the average income of the whole population dropped). Indonesia achieved trickle-down growth in both rural and urban areas in two remaining periods (2000–2010 and 2010–2019).

Abstract:
This paper describes the specific poverty reduction practices applied in Hunan Province, People’s Republic of China. Government-subsidized programs are aimed at elderly living in poverty, people with disabilities, and migrant workers and their left-behind children. They reduce poverty mainly by building a support system for living, housing, medical care, old-age care, education, and employment. Tailored financial support are also intended for natural resources of poverty-stricken areas to be used in developing industries and forming self-development capabilities to eradicate poverty, including through industrial development, employment, and financial tool utilization.

Abstract:
The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has eliminated absolute poverty in 2020. Its recent national 14th Five-Year Plan (2021–2025) highlights improving the quality of human capital as an essential goal. Research has shown that investing in early childhood development generates the highest rates of return and leads to better education, health, social, and economic outcomes. After decades of neglect, the government has been increasing investment in preschool education targeting children in ages 3–6 years since 2010. This paper recommends that a comprehensive and equitable early childhood development service system must be a priority in building essential public service systems.

Abstract:
The learning crisis in developing countries is increasingly acknowledged (World Bank, 2018). The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) include goals and targets for universal learning and the World Bank has adopted a goal of eliminating learning poverty. We use student level PISA-D results for seven countries (Cambodia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Honduras, Paraguay, Senegal, and Zambia) to examine inequality in learning outcomes at the global, country, and student level for public school students. We examine learning inequality using five dimensions of potential social disadvantage measured in PISA: sex, rurality, home language, immigrant status, and socio-economic status (SES)—using the PISA measure of ESCS (Economic, Social, and Cultural Status) to measure SES. We document four important facts. First, with the exception of Ecuador, less than a third of the advantaged (male, urban, native, home speakers of the language of instruction) and ESCS elite (plus 2 standard deviations above the mean) children enrolled in public schools in PISA-D countries reach the SDG minimal target of PISA level 2 or higher in mathematics (with similarly low levels for reading and science). Even if learning differentials of enrolled students along all five dimensions of disadvantage were eliminated, the vast majority of children in these countries would not reach the SDG minimum targets. Second, the inequality in learning outcomes of the in-school children who were assessed by the PISA by household ESCS is mostly smaller in these less developed countries than in OECD or high-performing non-OECD countries. If the PISA-D countries had the same relationship of learning to ESCS as Denmark (as an example of a typical OECD country) or Vietnam (a high-performing developing country) their enrolled ESCS disadvantaged children would do worse, not better, than they actually do. Third, the disadvantages in learning outcomes along four characteristics: sex, rurality, home language, and being an immigrant country are absolutely large, but still small compared to the enormous gap between the advantaged, ESCS average students, and the SDG minimums. Given the massive global inequalities, remediating within-country inequalities in learning, while undoubtedly important for equity and justice, leads to only modest gains towards the SDG targets. Fourth, even including both public and private school students, there are strikingly few children in PISA-D countries at high levels of performance. The absolute number of children at PISA level 4 or above (reached by roughly 30 percent of OECD children) in the low performing PISA-D countries is less than a few thousand individuals, sometimes only a few hundred—in some subjects and countries just double or single digits. These four hard lessons from PISA-D reinforce the need to address global equity by “raising the floor” and targeting low learning levels (Crouch and Rolleston, 2017; Crouch, Rolleston, and Gustafsson, 2020). As Vietnam and other recent successes show, this can be done in developing country settings if education systems align around learning to improve the effectiveness of the teaching and learning processes to improve early learning of foundational skills.
