The Citizen Report (2007) analyzed the progress towards MDGs using selected indicators to judge the progress and identified the key indicators, which require urgent policy attention in Chhattisgarh. The study mentioned that as Chhattisgarh is new state, it was difficult to organize data for most indicators from 1991. The state departments also do have limited information to provide on the concerned variables. The report found that overall; the number of population below poverty line in Chhattisgarh in 2004-05 as per MRP (mixed recall period) was 32 percent. The corresponding figure for rural areas was 31.2 percent. In urban areas the number of poor people was 34.7 percent. Rural poverty was marginally better than urban poverty. The study stated that at the primary level in 2002, the enrolment was 24.92 lakh with gender ratio of 0.94. The rural gender ratio is lower compared to urban gender ratio. During the past decade (1991-2001), gender difference in school attendance has been greatly reduced, but many girls still do not have equal access to education. In Chhattisgarh, a...

  • Compare Poverty Between India And India

    Poverty, every country experiences it, but it doesn’t affect every country the same. Some more developed countries might have certain policies in place to help people who are struggling to make ends meet, until they get back on their feet. It is more likely that less developed countries might not have any policies in place. I decided to compare poverty between India and Canada. They both are so opposite of each other. I knew that it would be interesting to see how both countries deal with the less fortunate.

  • The Effects Of Education In Montayj's 'Duggan'

    The article, “Education, poverty and schooling: a study of delhi slum dwellers”, highlights that “education positively influences poverty reduction, while poverty, or low income, adversely affects the quality and quantity of education”. This model is very much apparent in Jackie’s life. As she lacked formal education in the early stages of her life, she remained in the cycle of poverty even into her adulthood. Without the knowledge of how to change things and the inability of doing so, it is very much difficult, if not impossible, for her to get out of this infinite

    19,261 [0.49$/day] and international poverty line NRs. 74842.52 [1.9 $/day] are used to evaluate the level of poverty in the study area. Total household income is converted to average per capita income by multiplying the population share of a household adult equivalent unit (a.e.u.). As national standard, 7.5 % of the sampled population lives in extreme poverty (α = 0; Table 8). This is surprisingly lower than the national figure of 25.16 % (CBS, 2011). And it is also quite lower with the study done by Chhetri et al., (2015) giving the result of 25.1 % sampled population lives in extreme poverty. This is because our study site Jamune VDC is developed than Simjung and Ghyachok VDC of Ghorkha district. The depth of extreme poverty (α = 1) is 2.17 %, while the severity (α = 2) is 0.76 %. Excluding CF income from the total household income, the prevalence of extreme poverty rises to 28.75 %, a relative increase of 283.33 %. That means 21.25% of sampled household are the direct beneficiary with CF to stay above the poverty line. This type of changes was seen in the similar study by Chhetri et al., (2015), with the exclusion of environmental income the prevalence of extreme poverty rises from 39.9% to 59%. With increase in poverty gap (α = 1) and poverty severity (α = 2) indices would increase even more, by 441.47% and 902.63 %, respectively. Further, 13.33 % medium households and 6.67 % poor households lives in extreme poverty (α = 0), quite different

  • The Feminization of Poverty

    1792 Words  | 4 Pages

    One of the Biggest Challenges for Women Today: The Feminization of Poverty The division of labour and education along gender lines, racial inequalities and discrimination, and unpaid domestic labour all contribute to the growing feminization of poverty. Feminists are working to decrease the income gap, to benefit the overall health of women and the population at large. The term feminization of poverty describes the disproportionate number of women who are poor, and its link to the division of labour along gender lines (Calixte, Johnson, & Motapanyane, 2010). The Canadian Labour Congress reported that in 2005, women working full time earned 70.5 cents to the dollar that every male in a comparable job earned ( as cited in Calixte, et al., 2010, p. 17). Across the board, women are more likely to suffer from poverty than men are (Harnan, 2006).

    Poverty has been a major problem over the last decade and will continue to be a problem unless the government provides solutions to the problem. Poverty isn’t common in male-headed households; however, it is very common in female-headed households. Female-headed households are households that are headed by widowed, unmarried, divorced and often separated women. Based on an article written in 2014, “two and five female-headed families with children live in poverty” (Gould 2012).

  • Poverty Among Women

    1101 Words  | 3 Pages

    For centuries, gender, race, ethnicity, and age, have contributed to the social stratification of persons in society, and more specifically, for the means of this essay, women in society. In the United States for example, gender and age greatly contribute to whether or not one will be subject to a life of poverty. In Cultural Anthropology: A Problem Based Approach, Robbins discusses the book Women and Children Last by Ruth Sidel in which Sidel draws a comparison between the Titanic and American society in the 1980's. "Both were gleaming symbols of wealth that placed women and children at a disadvantage" (Robbins, 239). When the Titanic went down that night, the women and children traveling first and second-class were the first to be saved, but the women and children in third-class and steerage were either the last ones to be saved or rather not saved at all, so much so that 45 percent of the women and 70 percent of the children in steerage died. Sidel claims that the same way certain women and children on board the Titanic were the last to be saved, in the United States as well, certain women and children are not the first to be saved, but rather the first ones to fall into poverty.

    A very common question that comes into the mind of almost every Pakistani that what exactly is the reason that US, Australia and Norway are so wealthy, while Pakistan is hindered in poverty? To find the possible causes we are going to conduct this research. Researchers have already tried to figure it out in different context like The Father of Modern Economics Adam Smith in 1776 came across the similar thought. It is not a modern day problem but it is phenomena which was always there and increasing with every passing second. Some countries that specializes their production processes were rich and, hence, could harvest more output (Smith 1776) from the same amounts of inputs. In 330 BC, Aristotle was the one who said that education is the source of all success. He projected that higher educated people are more agile in nature and can easily find new solutions to problems and can able to make innovation in every possible way which in turn, result in decreased poverty.

  • Violence Against Women In India

    1109 Words  | 3 Pages

    Violence against women in India is one of the biggest issues that is rooted in traditional culture and economic dependence. There are many laws that underline the discriminatory practices that favor men. Inadequate policing and jurisdiction denies female victims from proper protection and justice, although female partaking in public life is on the rise, and are trying to have laws amended in their favor. India is currently in America’s past and has a long way to go to make its women equal citizens in their own country. But what separates India from America? In India, the society grows up in a situation where they perceive violence against women to be the norm. The majority of the violence against women is in the form of domestic violence, commonly resulting in deaths and cruelties. A common example is the social acceptance of the dowry system.
