Poverty. 10.1 Poverty is a lack of income (or material possessions) to such a level that it is not considered acceptable by society. Officially a household is considered to be in poverty if its income (after taxes and housing costs) is less than 60% of the average (median) income nationally. In 2007-08 (the latest date for which local authority estimates are available) this was equal to £199 per week for a couple with no children. In the same year an estimated 19% of households (14,500 households) in Herefordshire had income below this level9.
Poverty. Xxxxxx and Xxxxx (2018) found that among children under the age of 18, 41% lived in low-income families, and 19% in poverty. Approximately 21% of Mexican immigrant families lived in poverty than 9% for those whose members were born in the US (Zong & Batalova, 2018). The median income of Mexican immigrant households in 2017 was $44,700 compared to $56,700 for immigrants of other nations (Zong & Batalova). Living in poverty was regarded among the strongest predictors of school dropout, regardless of gender or ethnicity. Students of low socioeconomic means had a 7.2% dropout rate compared to 3.6% of students from middle-income families, and 3.9% of those in the highest income brackets (XxXxxxxxx, et al., 2019). The literature emphasized that a child's social class was a significant predictor of success in school. A strong connection existed between living in poverty and dropping out of school (Xxxxxx & Xxxxx 2017; Xxxxxx & Xxxxxx 2003). Their view was supported by Xxxxx and Xxxxx (2010), who also identified living in poverty as a significant predictor of a cohort's graduation rate. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (2012) concurred that poverty was a contributing factor to Latino males scoring lower on reading exams. Xxxxx and Xxxxx (2010) noted that districts with a high number of students on free or reduced lunch tended to have lower cohort graduation rates.
Poverty. The effects of poverty on health are well established. Those living in poverty have less access to resources, are exposed to greater environmental hazards and are more likely to be malnourished. Conversely, poor health can increase the chances of falling into poverty (WHO 2004). In all countries, low, medium and high income alike, a gradient exists such that the lower an individual’s socioeconomic status, the worse their health (WHO 2011). Extreme poverty is Code Z59.5 in the International Classification of Diseases. As stated in the first World Health Report (1995), “Poverty is the main reason why babies are not vaccinated, why clean water and sanitation are not provided, why curative drugs and other treatments are unavailable and why mothers die in childbirth. It is the underlying cause of reduced life expectancy, handicap, disability and starvation.” In 2010, Ethiopia ranked 157th of 169 countries in the Human Development Index, a ranking system that takes into account multiple socioeconomic indicators, especially poverty. According to World Bank indicators (2011), 77.57% of the Ethiopian population lives on less than $2.00 USD a day and 39.04% live on less than $1.25 USD a day. Additionally, in 2000, 44.20% of the population lived below the national poverty line (World Bank 2011). In addition to a lack of income, many Ethiopians also lack basic commodities.
Poverty. 13. The Borrower shall ensure that the Project benefits accrue to the poorer segments of ethnic minority people living in the target provinces. The Borrower shall further ensure that poor households, as identified under the Special Program, are subsidized with electricity connection costs including house wiring for electricity bulbs and electricity socket up to $40 equivalent or one-half of the actual connection cost, whichever is lower. The Borrower shall take appropriate measures that the poor households will be consulted on, and participate in, the Project during subproject implementation.
Poverty. Poverty is defined as pronounced deprivation of the well-being of the individual or group of people. Since the general well-being of people bothers on issues of ability to access quality health, education or food, poverty may be defined specific to these (Xxxxxxxx, 2010). Internationally, the poverty line is set at $1.25 per day which is believed to guarantee the individual’s well-being. This implies that all those who spend less than $1.25 per day are classified as poor. Effective application of ISWM depends to a large extent on the ability of the beneficiaries to pay for the services rendered. African countries have a history of failed waste management practices as a result of the inability of the beneficiaries to pay economic price of services or products offered. A classic example is the centralised composting plants set up in Ghana, Nigeria, Benin and Togo in the 80’s to treat municipal organic waste where beneficiaries inability to pay the economic price of the compost led to the collapse of these plants (IWMI, 2004). The poverty gap is the difference between average income and the poverty line (no offset is specified in relation to persons who are not poor), expressed as a percentage of the poverty line. This reflects both the extent of poverty and its frequency. Note: 0.5 indicates a poverty gap of less than 0.5%. Poor neighborhoods often suffer from high population density and the logistics of waste collection in these areas is difficult and often requires unconventional approaches to succeed. The streets are narrow, unpaved and cluttered thus imposing constraints on systems of waste collection. Indicators to measure poverty level include: • Household income level • Employment status Household income level The household income level will be classified into; • Low • Moderate • High Employment status (in percent) There is a positive correlation between employment status and household income. Households with heads in formal employment tend to have higher income levels than households with unemployed heads. The following indicators are therefore proposed; • Informal employment (%) • Formal employment (%) • Unemployed (%) Level of support Most African households are known to receive financial support from relatives and loved ones abroad or more economically empowered than them. The quantum of support received in terms of monetary value aside their basic household income from their own activities gives a better picture about the true level of poverty in...
Poverty. 2.5 People's health is affected by their circumstances. Well-being, a sense of control over your life, and optimism about the future is good for health. For example: low income can make it hard to afford to keep your house warm or protect yourself and your family from fire and accidents in the home, such as by buying smoke alarms or replacing faulty wiring; low income, deprivation and social exclusion all influence smoking levels. It's harder to stop smoking when you're worrying about making ends meet. One study found that while a third of children in the United Kingdom lived with at least one adult smoker, for low income families, the figure rose to 57%[6]. if the nearest supermarket is miles away or the bus doesn't go there when you can, it can be difficult to buy food which is cheap and healthy; if the street outside your home is busy with traffic or there are drug dealers in the park then it's safer to keep the kids in front of the TV than let them out to play.
