DEMOGRAPHIC AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS OF POOR HOUSEHOLDS IN VILLAGES

Abstract

Poverty in the villages is an acute socio-economic phenomenon that attracts negative demographic trends affecting economic development, including the quality of human capital and living conditions. Having predicted the worsened demographic structure of the population in these areas, which is reflected in a progressive increase in the age and age of young people aged 0-17. it is necessary to identify those categories of drugs for which the highest risk of living in poverty is required. A number of sociological and statistical surveys show that poor rural households have specific age, educational and socio-economic characteristics. Research interest is to reveal what this specific is? Here valuable information is provided by the published studies on poverty at the national level and the corresponding cuts on the city-village axis (see EU-SILC, 2016, UNICEF, Word Bank). A necessary clarification: In Stratifying literature, there is no clear distinction between "family" and "household" as observed in demography or family sociology [4:35]. Speaking of a family, it is often treated as a social group that conforms to norms and values in a society that lives in a particular economic (lifestyle) and cultural context (values, norms) [1]. "Its members are under the same roof and create a home farm that can unite two, but often three generations" [5]. In stratification, we are interested in both the family and the household, and more often the object of attention is the household, insofar as it is mostly the "group carrier of the redeployed material wealth and income, as well as of a given socio-demographic status" [4:35]. It is necessary to assign to all interested persons and persons who wish to benefit from their own goals and effectiveness. On the basis of the secondary analysis of the data from the "Income and Animal Statistics" panel, the results of the long-term interviews with the beneficiaries of households and citizens will be checked of tested households. Regardless of the measures taken to date in this area, the efforts of the state institutions should continue in order to create opportunities for rural poverty reduction, in which problems related to the limited opportunities for labor are becoming more and more popular. Considering the worsened demographic structure of the population in these areas, consisting in a gradual increase in the share of elderly people and respectively in the reduction of the young people in the 0-17 age range, it is necessary that the efforts of all stakeholders are prioritized towards the following categories of persons, for whom there is the highest risk of living in rural poverty. These are: households of single parents with children and large households; Unemployed households; households where household members have low or no educational level and households of representatives of the Roma ethnic community.
