Modeling the long-term relationship between transportation, economic growth, poverty and environmental degradation in Tunisia

The transportation sector plays a crucial role in driving economic development, reducing poverty, and contributing significantly to environmental impacts. While there have been numerous studies exploring the interconnections among transportation, economic development, and environmental degradation, there hasn’t been extensive research on how poverty affects transport-related CO2 emissions in the Tunisian context. This study aims to address this gap by analyzing the complex relationship between poverty, economic growth, energy consumption in road transport, urbanization, trade openness, road infrastructure, and environmental degradation in the Tunisia's transportation sector from 1980 to 2020. To estimate the long-term relationship between these variables, we use the ARDL bounds test approach. The result of VECM Granger causality test indicates a feedback between road infrastructure, road energy consumption, and transport emissions in both the short and long term. Moreover, our study identifies a bidirectional causality between poverty and transport emissions, emphasizing the importance of poverty alleviation strategies that consider environmental consequences. Our research also reveals a feedback between poverty and road transport infrastructure, as well as between transport emissions and economic growth. These results provide a comprehensive overview of the factors influencing CO2 emissions in the transport sector and their relationship with poverty. They offer a valuable insight to the field of energy and environmental studies, serving as guidance to policymakers, researchers, and practitioners engaged in promoting sustainable transportation practices in Tunisia.

Exploring the Impact of Rural Development Programs on Poverty Reduction in Chinese Counties: A Panel Data Analysis

In the backdrop of Chinas monumental challenge in poverty eradication, this study provides a critical evaluation of the rural development programs, particularly the targeted poverty reduction policy of 2013 which aimed at specialized interventions for 832 national poverty-stricken counties. Utilizing the Difference-in-Differences (DiD) methodology, the paper analyzes panel data from the China Statistical Yearbook (Township) between 2010 to 2019, contrasting the advancements in these designated counties against those not specifically targeted. Our findings reveal that, while the 2013 policy has made positive strides in enhancing the disposable incomes of residents in these counties, disparities persist. City-specific determinants emerged as key influencers, necessitating a tailored approach to future poverty alleviation strategies. The research underlines the success of Chinas poverty reduction efforts, whilst stressing the need for sustained, adaptive, and region-specific initiatives for more holistic and comprehensive poverty eradication in the future. Policymakers are thus advised to engage in continual policy introspection and refinement, acknowledging the intricate challenges and diversities within the nation.

Poverty eradication continues to pose a significant global challenge, impacting millions and hindering sustainable development. Effectively addressing poverty necessitates comprehensive strategies that extend beyond merely tackling economic disparities, emphasizing the need to empower communities for active participation in their development. In rural Uganda, poverty alleviation remains a critical issue. This study explored the effectiveness of the community empowerment approach in reducing poverty within the Bwera, Karusandara, and Karambi sub-counties of Kasese District in Uganda. Grounded in community development theory, the research employed a quantitative approach using both correlation and survey research designs. Researchers selected a sample size of 130 respondents from a target population of 192 through stratified random sampling and simple random sampling techniques. They gathered primary data using structured questionnaires and analyzed the data with descriptive and inferential statistics via SPSS version 26. Findings from simple linear regression and correlation analyses revealed a significant positive relationship between community empowerment and poverty alleviation (t=2.805; P=.006; r = 0.446; p < 0.01; p < 0.05). The study illustrates a substantial positive connection between community empowerment and poverty alleviation, demonstrating that enhancing community capacity leads to better poverty outcomes. Policymakers should prioritize community empowerment initiatives as a central strategy for poverty alleviation, promoting local participation and resource access to improve sustainable development outcomes. This study’s significance for policymakers lies in its evidence that community empowerment is essential for effective poverty alleviation, informing the development of targeted strategies that enhance local participation and resource access, ultimately fostering sustainable and impactful poverty reduction efforts.

Study on the Effectiveness of Public Participation in Urban and Rural Grassroots Governance Based on a Big Data Platform

Abstract Urban and rural grassroots governance is the cornerstone of the modernization of national governance, and strengthening effective public participation is also the continuation and sublimation of the strategy of poverty alleviation. This paper utilizes gene structure for expression, constructs the RMUGS model, and then constructs a three-level retrieval algorithm based on the various levels of the model to analyze big data on the results achieved by public participation in urban-rural grassroots governance in Z town of Guangdong province. Town Z has been able to achieve good results in urban-rural grassroots governance, as shown in the data analysis results. Significant results have been achieved in the improvement of infrastructure, with the overall degree of improvement reaching more than 75%, and the highest improvement of public lighting reaching 90% of the degree of improvement. The number of people actively participating has gone up from 60.33% in 2020 to 77.95% in 2022, with general residents without positions experiencing the greatest increase. The above data analyzed by the RMUGS model clearly shows that public participation in urban and rural grassroots governance has a very high degree of effectiveness, which provides effective directions and ideas for future grassroots governance.

Emprego fora da fazenda e pobreza multidimensional: evidências empíricas da bacia do rio Amarelo na China

ABSTRACT: As an essential way to enhance farmers’ self-development ability, off-farm employment plays an indispensable role in farmers’ multidimensional poverty reduction in many countries. Employing a survey of 1926 farmers in five provinces of the Yellow River Basin in China, this paper examined the multi-dimensional poverty reduction effect of off-farm employment and the heterogeneous influence of different dimensions of off-farm employment (modes, levels, distances and frequency). The results showed that (1) although absolute poverty in the income dimension was largely eliminated in the Yellow River Basin, the poverty in social resources, transportation facilities, employment security were the key bottlenecks restricting farmers’ self-development. (2) The province with the best multidimensional poverty reduction effect for non-farm employment was Shaanxi, with the largest contribution to employment security. (3) Improving off-farm employment level, distance and time can significantly alleviate the multi-dimensional poverty of farmers. Therefore, to lessen the multi-dimensional poverty of farmers in the Yellow River Basin, it is necessary to focus on the governance of multi-dimensional key poverty-stricken areas, such as the middle and upper courses of the Yellow River, adopting multidimensional poverty alleviation strategy of off-farm employment according to local conditions, working on the farmers’ deficiencies in social resources, mobility, employment security, and deepening the effect of off-farm employment on benefiting farmers and helping the poor.

The Impact and Challenges of Poverty Alleviation Strategies on Wealth Gap Between Urban and Rural: Take Guizhou Province as An Example

Over the past 40 years since the initiation of reform and opening-up in China, both urban and rural economies have experienced rapid growth, leading to a significant improvement in the production levels and living standards of the people. However, it is equally important to recognize that the income gap between urban and rural residents has been continuously widening, particularly pronounced in economically less developed regions. Therefore, in order to mitigate the various economic and social challenges brought about by severe income inequality, the central and local governments are working collaboratively to optimize income disparity through poverty alleviation policies. This paper will take Guizhou Province, a chronically impoverished province in western China, as an example to explore the historical evolution of various poverty alleviation policies, the actual benefits in terms of income inequality reduction, relevant challenges and shortcomings, as well as potential lessons that can be drawn from this experience.

Poverty alleviation schemes for high escaping poverty probability: Contract-only, compensation, and capacity-building

In this paper, we examine the minimum procurement price and government subsidies for the successful implementation of three Poverty Alleviation Schemes (PASs): Contract-Only Scheme (CO), Contract with Compensation Scheme (CS), and Capacity-building with Training (CT). We consider an agricultural supply chain with a pro-poor enterprise and a group of impoverished farmers who grow, harvest, and sell the product to the pro-poor enterprise, and the government decides to subsidize the pro-poor enterprise for poverty alleviation. The price of the agricultural product and the harvest output are uncertain and negatively correlated. We consider a new type of poverty alleviation objective: the poor farmer escapes poverty if their profit exceeds the poverty line (PEP) and establishes a higher probability of escaping poverty (EPP). We use real coffee and tea prices to capture the skewness of the distribution of product prices in a numerical analysis. We find that (i) the impoverished farmers would benefit from PASs, but the pro-poor enterprise would incur risks because both parties share the uncertainty of harvest output in PASs; (ii) the local government should provide subsidies to the pro-poor enterprise to implement PASs better; (iii) CT and CS have a lower bound for the procurement price as well as local government compensation; and (iv) if the product price exhibits a left-skewed distribution, then the EPP becomes crucial, and a higher procurement price is required to increase the EPP.

The Impact of Islamic Fintech on Poverty Alleviation in Indonesia: A Socio-Economic Implications

Poverty alleviation remains a critical focus in Indonesia's agenda alongside technological advancement. The establishment of an inclusive Islamic financial ecosystem, integrating digital financial services (fintech), stands as a significant initiative. However, challenges including regulatory inadequacies, complex licensing, misuse in terrorism financing, and consumer disputes plague this evolving landscape. This study investigates the impact of Islamic fintech on poverty reduction from 2005 to 2022, utilizing an Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) model. Results indicate that Islamic fintech interventions exhibit promise in mitigating poverty while strengthening the financial system. This underscores the pivotal role of the financial infrastructure in societal welfare development. Compared to mere economic growth, Islamic fintech demonstrates potential for sustained socio-economic development, particularly aiding Shariah-compliant enterprises seeking expansion. The findings emphasize the necessity of addressing regulatory intricacies to fully harness the transformative potential of Islamic fintech. This study underscores the significance of fostering an enabling regulatory environment, contributing to Indonesia's long-term socio-economic development and poverty alleviation strategies.

Unravelling the Interplay of Public Debt, Inflation and Unemployment on Poverty in Malaysia: A Comprehensive Examination

This study addresses a critical gap in the existing body of research by exploring the relationship between macroeconomic variables and poverty in Malaysia from 1992 to 2022. Employing the Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares (FMOLS) method, the research investigates the impact of three key independent variables - unemployment, public debt, and inflation - on the dependent variable, the poverty rate. The findings reveal significant insights: unemployment positively affects the poverty rate, underlining the vulnerability of unemployed individuals to poverty. In contrast, public debt emerges as a negative determinant of poverty, emphasizing the importance of prudent fiscal management for poverty reduction. Intriguingly, inflation does not exhibit a statistically significant association with the poverty rate. These results offer a valuable contribution to the limited macroeconomic studies on poverty in Malaysia, shedding light on the intricate dynamics between economic variables and poverty, and provide valuable guidance for policymakers and researchers alike in the pursuit of targeted poverty alleviation strategies tailored to the Malaysian context.

Livelihood Grants and the Case of Ultra-Poor Women Households in Bihar, India

This article presents a critical commentary on the implementation of a graduation approach-based poverty alleviation scheme for transforming the lives of poor, marginalised communities (i.e., erstwhile toddy tappers and women-headed households). It draws from a qualitative study on the working of the Government of Bihar’s Satat Jeevikoparjan Yojana or the SJY scheme in the Madhubani district of Bihar, one of India’s poorest states. It primarily argues that there is a scope of improvement on four key fronts, namely (a) asymmetry between beneficiaries’ capabilities and livelihood opportunities provided (b) streamlining the different stages of ultra-poor graduation, (c) efficient cross-checking of developments on the field by project staff and (d) proper training of these beneficiaries to account for the unintended bureaucratic slippages by the beneficiaries. Thus in so doing, it avers, that given the socio-cultural and institutional limitations within which this project works, sealing these leaks could substantially improve the efficacy of this scheme.

Farmers to urban citizens? Understanding resettled households' adaptation to urban life in Shaanxi, China

Rural to urban resettlement is a widely used poverty alleviation strategy in China's Shaanxi Province, with roughly 250,000 poor households being resettled between 2016 and 2020. This is a huge development intervention designed and implemented by the Chinese state that aims to fundamentally transform people's livelihoods, yet few studies have examined how rural people involved in these resettlements have adapted to their new urban life. This article aims to analyze this adaptation process. Based on a survey of 1285 poverty alleviation resettlement (PAR) households in Shaanxi, we examine the socioeconomic and identity transformations brought about by urbanizing poverty resettlements, paying particular attention to resettled households' heterogeneous experiences of adaptation. Our analysis complicates the picture of a managed, smooth transition from farmers to urban citizens, raising issues of identity, economic insecurity, employment opportunities, and rural land as security. Economically, in the face of increased expenditure and few savings, most households have mixed income sources, and most still retain ties to agricultural land. Different trajectories are evident among households, with uneven access to nearby off-farm employment. Socially, strong social relations are evident, but there is weak engagement in more formal community institutions. And in terms of identity, only a small proportion of households self- identified as “urban”. Our findings highlight how, in the face of rapid change, PAR households strategically float between the rural and the urban.

Socially responsible retailer’s service provision strategies for poverty and inequity alleviation in the supply chain

This paper examines the effects of a retailer’s value-added services on poverty alleviation where the retailer engages in corporate social responsibility (CSR) by considering consumer surplus. Considering two heterogeneous farmers (i.e., a poor farmer from an impoverished area with cost disadvantages and a normal farmer from a non-poverty area) selling their products through a common retailer, we develop a model to determine when a retailer bestows a uniform or differential service provision to farmers. We also examine the impact of cost disadvantage, per-unit service cost, and consumer surplus concern on supply chain participants’ profits and social welfare distribution under different service provision strategies. We find that supply chain participants’ preferences for service provision strategy are compatible when cost disadvantage and per-unit service cost are below a certain threshold. Retailer-provided services effectively increase each participant’s profit, but this may result in unequal proportions of their profits in social welfare, potentially impacting shared prosperity. The cost disadvantage negatively (positively) impacts the proportion of the poor (normal) farmer’s profit in the overall social welfare equation. However, when the retailer provides services solely to the anti-poverty (normal) product, the per-unit service cost positively affects the proportion of the normal (poor) farmer’s profit in social welfare while consistently improving the retailer’s profit proportion. In addition, higher retailer concern for consumers fosters greater compatibility in service strategy preferences. When the per-unit service cost is low and the ratio of services for the normal product is small, increasing the ratio of services can increase the profits of the poor farmer, the normal farmer, the retailer, and the consumer surplus simultaneously. The research sheds light on the potential tradeoffs and considerations required to create a more equitable and prosperous society.

Poverty Alleviation Policy Strategy Through Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) and Indonesia's Economic Resources

The purpose of this research is to examine and provide guidelines for local governments, communities, academics, and the private sector in planning and implementing poverty alleviation activities that are more effective, efficient, and on target. In addition, the specific objectives of this study are: 1) increasing the rate of regional economic growth through optimizing potential sources of regional income, 2) increasing per capita income, and 3) reducing poverty, unemployment, and socioeconomic inequality of the community. The research was conducted in Palembang City, South Sumatra, Indonesia, in the last 10 years, namely 2017-2022. The research approach uses qualitative descriptive analysis. Data sources include secondary data and Regional Statistics. The results of this study are based on the Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs) indicators, there are four priority scales in poverty alleviation, namely, Health and Infrastructure (Priority I), Education (Priority II), Food Stability (Priority III), and Population and Employment (Priority IV). Therefore, as a solution to poverty alleviation strategies, a budget approach through optimizing the regional economy and regional sources of income as well as community empowerment factors is important. In addition, involvement between elements (government, organizations, communities, universities, and institutions) is expected to continue as an effort to realize poverty alleviation can be overcome optimally.
