Abstract
ABSTRACTThis article unravels the nature and causes of inequality and riskiness of poverty in Bangladesh. Using the Household Income and Expenditure Survey of 2010, the authors attempt to unmask the factors responsible for deprivation and discrimination in Bangladesh. The authors have constructed a probit model and run mean test to check which factors are significant in determining poverty status. Contrary to general belief, the authors find that the gender and religion do not play significant role in determining the poverty status of households. However, other factors such as age, rural-urban distribution, education, marital status, disability, remittance, region, and so on have noteworthy impact on poverty condition.
