  • Multi‐Disciplinary Commentaries on a Blueprint for Prosperity
    June 2015 Multi‐disciplinary Commentaries on a Blueprint for Prosperity Foreword The City of Memphis’ Blue Print for Prosperity is a city initiated effort to partner with other local initiatives, organizations and agencies to increase the wealth among low income citizens, increase their resiliency to meet daily financial exigencies and reduce poverty. A number of factors contribute to those challenges. Thus any successful effort to address them requires a multidisciplinary approach. In June 2014, a set of researchers at the University of Memphis across a range of academic colleges and departments was invited to discuss approaches to wealth creation and poverty reduction for the various perspectives of their various disciplines. Based on that conversation, they were asked to submit policy briefs from those perspectives with recommendations to contribute to a community process to produce a plan for action. The following report summarizes and provides those briefs. Participants in the report and their contributions include: David Cox, Ph.D., Department of Public and Nonprofit Administration, School of Urban Affairs and Public Policy, College of Arts and Sciences. Project Director Debra Bartelli, DrPH., Division of Epidemiology, Biostatistics, and Environmental Health, School of Public Health.

  • Spatial Inequalities in Disabled Livelihoods: an Empirical Study of U.S
    Spatial Inequalities in Disabled Livelihoods: An Empirical Study of U.S. Counties DISSERTATION Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy in the Graduate School of The Ohio State University By Nicholas Britt Garcia, MS Graduate Program in the School of Environment and Natural Resources The Ohio State University 2019 Dissertation Committee: Professor Linda Lobao, Adviser Professor Jeff Sharp Professor Cathy Rakowski Copyright by Nicholas B. Garcia 2019 Abstract I consider contributions and limitations of traditional approaches to disability and inequality, noting a lack of quantitative empirical studies to address persistent poverty and underemployment since passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). I find that the majority of literature is predicated upon assumptions of interpersonal discrimination and accessibility, without corresponding empirical study of how these factors influence the economic well-being of people with disabilities. Using newly-available county prevalence data from the American Community Survey (ACS), I present three studies to address areas of disability and inequality that have been neglected in sociological research. In the first, I address rising disability prevalence across U.S. counties and test prominent explanations involving health behaviors against place-based deprivation measures. Increasing disability prevalence is often attributed to rising obesity rates in the United States. Poverty and inequality, although commonly explored in studies of health disparities, have not been well- studied in their relationship to disability. I examine differences in disability prevalence across 2,964 U.S. counties to compare these competing explanations. I find that poverty is consistent in explaining the prevalence of overall disability and four subcategories of disability, while health behaviors are only significant when explaining some specific categories of disability.

  • Microfinance and the Business of Poverty Reduction: Critical Perspectives from Rural
    Microfinance and the business of poverty reduction: Critical perspectives from rural Bangladesh Subhabrata Bobby Banerjee and Laurel Jackson Abstract In this paper we provide a critical analysis of the role of market-based approaches to poverty reduction in developing countries. In particular we analyze the role of microfinance in poverty alleviation by conducting an ethnographic study of three villages in Bangladesh. Microfinance has become an increasingly popular approach that aims to alleviate poverty by providing the poor new opportunities for entrepreneurship. It also aims to promote empowerment (especially among women) while enhancing social capital in poor communities. Our findings, however, reflect a different picture. We found microfinance led to increasing levels of indebtedness among already impoverished communities and exacerbated economic, social and environmental vulnerabilities. Our findings contribute to the emerging literature on the role of social capital in developing entrepreneurial capabilities in poor communities by highlighting processes whereby social capital can be undermined by market-based measures like microfinance. Keywords: Microfinance, NGOs, Non-Governmental Organizations, poverty reduction, social capital, vulnerability ‘Grameen Foundation helps the world’s poorest, especially women, improve their lives and escape poverty by helping to provide access to appropriate financial services new ways to generate income……By helping local microfinance institutions and other poverty-focused organizations become more effective we’ve helped millions pull themselves out of poverty’ (Grameen Foundation, 2012). ‘Nothing can stop an idea whose time has gone. And micro-finance is in a danger zone. It is a discredited model. It has raised more questions that it has answered. To think that we are going to alleviate poverty is a tall claim.

  • Universal Basic Income and the Cost Objection: What Are We Waiting For?
    World Economic Review Universal Basic Income and the Cost Objection: What are we Waiting For? Richard Pereira1 University of Birmingham, UK Abstract Among the most common objections to providing everyone with an unconditional basic income is the cost objection. It states that the cost of providing everyone with a decent income floor, beneath which no one would fall, is out of reach for governments and public finance. Income taxes would have to be raised to unacceptable levels to accomplish this, the objection claims. This paper addresses the objection by demonstrating its weaknesses and showing that a universal basic income is affordable. It is in fact more affordable than the current wasteful array of often counter-productive, bureaucratic income security programs. Better results can be achieved with lower costs by implementing basic income, or a guaranteed livable income. This study does not seek any cuts to vital public programs such as universal health care or education to attain the result of a basic income sufficient to cover one’s needs for food, modest shelter etc. at all times. Personal income taxes are not raised in this proposal and they could even be cut, while improving health outcomes for individuals and reducing health burdens upon the current system resulting from a presently dysfunctional, outdated income security model. Keywords: universal basic income, guaranteed income, demogrant, negative income tax, program redundancy, income security Introduction An unconditional, universal income sufficient to cover one’s basic needs is an old idea that is resurfacing again and gaining some momentum. New forms of precarious employment, technological advances and displacement of workers by robotics, and large-scale offshoring of jobs resulting in record company profits and simultaneous catastrophic income loss for others are among some of the reasons people use to justify the concept of universal basic income (UBI) today.
