This study shows the importance of public spending on education in order to accelerate growth and reduce poverty. Results suggest that government expenditure on education programs can help overcome negative family socioeconomic conditions, leading to intergenerational improvement of income. iii TABLE OF CONTENTS Chapter Page I.

Background This thesis focuses on the correlation between education improvement, poverty reduction, and national economic growth. Using Indonesia as a case study, it is aimed at shedding light on policies developing countries should implement in order to promote economic performance. 1.1.1. The Global Problem of Poverty Poverty is a disadvantage to society. It constrains people’s spending ability (Attanasio and Szèkely, 2004), lowers market potential which makes investment unprofitable (Cheng and Kwan, 2000), and lowers government’s tax revenue. Government tax revenue only represents 7% of GDP in the Sub-Saharan Africa compared to 22% in industrial countries (Auriol and Warlters, 2005). Difference in lifestyle makes poverty definitions

  • Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in Young Families
    POLICY REPORT | APRIL 2015 Breaking the Cycle of Poverty in Young Families TwO-GEneration Policy RecommEnd ations The two-generation approach is a poverty reduction strategy meeting the unique needs of both parents and children simultaneously, which differs from other models that provide service provision to parents or their children separately. The focus of this two-generation research was specifically young families, which are defined as out-of-school, out-of-work youth 15–24 with dependent children under the age of 6. Families in poverty can best be served by addressing parental needs for education, workforce training, and parental skills, while also addressing child development essentials. The recent economic downturn has tremendously impacted communities and families in the United States, especially young families. Over 1.4 million youth ages 15–24 are out-of-school, out-of-work and raising dependent children. When youth are out of the education system, lack early work experience, and cannot find employment, it is unlikely that they will have the means to support themselves.1 Too often, this traps their families in a cycle of poverty for generations. With generous support from the Annie E. Casey Foundation and ASCEND at the Aspen Institute, the National Human Services Assembly (NHSA), an association of America’s leading human service nonprofit organizations, set out to identify policy and administrative barriers to two- generation strategies. The NHSA engaged its member organizations and local affiliates to better understand their two-generation programs, challenges to success, and strategies for overcoming. It also convened advo- cates, experts, and local providers together to determine the appropriate government strategies to break the cycle of poverty in young families.

With the return to civil rule in 1999 in Nigeria, hopes were high that the return to democracy will stem the decline of the economy and provide the citizenry with the social dividends of democracy. More than a decade after the economy is still on it’s kneels with more than half of the population living on less than one dollar per day. With the use of dependency theory the paper posited that unless the people are empowered to make choices and participate in making decisions that affects their lives sustainable socio- economic development will remain elusive in Africa in general and Nigeria in particular. Keywords: Poverty, Sustainable development, Africa, Nigeria Introduction The global south has one thing in common. It is the ravaging plague of poverty that has stunted the ability of its people to transform themselves and environment in order to a state create of continuous improvement in their human and physical conditions of life. While the phenomenon of poverty is not restricted to countries in Asia, Africa and Latin America, countries in Africa attract more concerns because of the peculiar challenges they face which limit their abilities to tackle this recurring decimal in the life of people and their nations.

  • Why We Need a Relative Income Poverty Measure
    feature Why we need a relative income poverty measure The latest international comparisons of child poverty rates from UNICEF show a smaller proportion of children living in relative income poverty in Hungary, Slovakia and Estonia than in the UK, Italy, Spain or the United States. Amid the current political debate about the value of measuring child poverty in this way, Dragan Nastic draws together UNICEF’s perspective to argue why it is still the best measure of the government’s success in countering child poverty.

  • ABSTRACT the FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE the EFFECTIVENESS of POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAMS in NIGERIA Nigeria Has Had a Long Fight Wi
    ABSTRACT THE FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF POVERTY ALLEVIATION PROGRAMS IN NIGERIA by Roseline Jindori Yunusa Nigeria has had a long fight with poverty since its independence, various policies and poverty alleviation programs have been put in place with the goal to eradicate poverty; however they have not yielded the expected result. The goal of this qualitative study was to investigate the claim by beneficiaries that poverty alleviation programs do not solve the poverty situation in Nigeria, in addition explore the reasons they gave for why programs have not been successful, and what could make them more successful. There is a general feeling of frustration and lack of confidence in government organized programs, stemming from policy formulation and in appropriately targeting the poor. The problems of poverty alleviation programs as seen by this study are that, policy makers have no knowledge about the culture of poverty or the emotional preparedness that people need to break family generation cycle of poverty and ultimately transition out of poverty.

  • Measuring Child Poverty by the Rothbarth Scales: Estimates for an Urban Chinese
    1 Measuring Child Poverty by the Rothbarth Scales: Estimates for an Urban Chinese East Coast Province Feridoon Koohi-Kamali and Yibin Liu Abstract The commonly employed Engel method of poverty measurement, based on the budget share of food, is known to lead to a large overestimation of age-specific poverty. This paper applies an alternative model based on variations in adults’ living standard that offers a particularly effective method of obtaining age-specific poverty measures, especially for children. However, only a few studies using this alternative model are available. This paper contributes to that small body of studies based on the latter model by applying it to two urban surveys from an east coast province of China for 2002 and 2009. We obtain measures of child poverty that have plausible values in size when compared to those reported for other studies using the same method. Our results indicate that the extremely high Chinese rates of economic growth during 2002-09 have had only a modest impact on child poverty, and an almost negligible impact on extreme child poverty. The paper points to rising urban inequality as the most likely explanation of the results obtained. 2 Preliminary Draft Please Do Not Quote Measuring Child Poverty by the Rothbarth Scales: Estimates for an Urban Chinese East Coast Province1 Feridoon Koohi-Kamali and Yibin Liu, Department of Economics, Franklin & Marshall College, PA.

Children born into poor families are likely to suffer from poor health, poor education, and low skills, with serious impact on their labor market earning in adulthood.

  • Breaking the Cycle of Poverty
    BREAKING THE CYCLE OF POVERTY Poverty is affected by several factors including hunger and malnutrition. Hunger pushes poor families into a downward spiral and prevents them from breaking out of the poverty cycle. A sustainable world begins with ending poverty in all its forms everywhere. Breastfeeding is a universal solution that levels the playing field to give every child a fair start in life. Breastfeeding powers cognitive development and the IQ of children, thus greatly improving educational attainment, participation in the workforce and lifetime earnings. It enables millions of young children to survive and thrive, setting them on a path towards better health and a more prosperous future. It is the great equaliser that can help break the cycle of poverty.
