Micro Penetration Index (MPI) and Micro Poverty Penetration Index (MPPI)

The two indices penetration of microfinance (MPI) and Intensity of penetration of microfinance among poor (MPPI) have been presented in the 2009 report for the first time. The calculation of the index has been carried out as follows:
• The number of credit of MFIs and members of SHGs with outstanding loans to banks are computed and each state’s share to the country’s total micro finance clients has been worked out.
• The intensity of penetration of microfinance (MPI) has been computed by dividing the share of the state in microfinance clients by share of population. Intensity of penetration of microfinance among poor (MPPI) has been derived by dividing the share of the state in microfinance clients by share of population. Since the microfinance clients are in the numerator, a value of more than 1 indicates that clients acquired are more than proportional to the population. Higher the score, i.e. more than 1, the better is the performance. Lower the score from 1 which is the par value, poorer is the performance on the state

    The most widely used poverty measures of Foster-Greer- Thorbecke (FGT) do not show when poverty might be eliminated. But, in this section we will try to answer for the question how long are they going to stay in poverty? following Morduch, (1998) approach which is based on Watts poverty index and FGT class of poverty measures.

  • We Need a New Way to Measure Poverty

    1689 Words  | 4 Pages

    Poverty in the United States is one of many difficult problems handled today. In 2010, 15.1% of the American population was living below the poverty threshold. But, how did the government calculate the poverty rate? The United States government uses the Orshansky poverty thresholds, which uses family budgets to determine if the family is above or below the poverty threshold. The current United States poverty measure is an absolute, headcount measure using family income as its scale of resources. However, many would agree that the poverty measure is flawed and that the poverty measure overstates how many people are really in poverty. This is a problem because resources government programs uses to help the poor can unevenly distribute. Therefore, I would like to propose a different poverty measure. In this paper, I would like to argue for a poverty intensity measure that is relative, with earnings capacity as the scale of resources and counts the household as the unit of analysis. First, I will discuss more about the flawed U.S. poverty measure; second, I will explain the four components necessary for poverty measures; third, I will make my proposal against the current measure and conclude about the two poverty measures.

    Most people feel that they should help the needy in some way or another. The problem is how to help them. This problem generally arises when there is a person sitting on the side of the road in battered clothes with a cardboard sign asking for some form of help, almost always in the form of money. Yet something makes the giver uneasy. What will they do with this money? Do they need this money? Will it really help them? The truth of the matter is, it won't. However, there are things that can be done to help the needy. Giving money to a reliable foundation will help the helpless, something that transferring money from a pocket to a man's tin can will never do.

    MD was introduced by FYFSC as a response to the service gap in marriage enhancement for the non-religious. The use of group work as an intervention technique is an alternative method for empowerment as compared to individual casework. This is because social workers are able to teach members through the processing of group dynamics. Moreover, it also enables members to work on their perceived isolation of having to face their problems alone.
