Can farmland transfer reduce vulnerability to poverty among the mid-aged and elderly in rural China?

Exploring the influence of farmland transfer on poverty among the mid-aged and elderly rural households is of great value in preventing them from returning to poverty and in solving the problem of rural poverty. Based on the propensity score matching with differences in differences approach, this paper measures and compares the effects of farmland transfer-in and transfer-out on the vulnerability to poverty of the mid-aged and elderly rural households by using the tracking survey of China Health and Retirement Longitudinal Study (CHARLS) in 2015 and 2018. The findings reveal that: (1) The anti-poverty effect of farmland transfer is “asymmetric”. Farmland transfer-in can significantly reduce the vulnerability to poverty of the lessee households, but farmland transfer-out has no such effect. (2) Obvious regional and household differences exist in the anti-poverty effect of farmland transfer. The anti-poverty effects of farmland transfer-in in the eastern and central regions are higher than in other regions. The greater vulnerability to poverty is associated with the more obvious anti-poverty effect of farmland transfer-in. These results benefit the government to strengthen the reforms related to farmland transfer and anti-poverty.

Multidimensional poverty and depression among with and without Disabilities

Abstract Background Traditionally, poverty has been measured based on an individual income, however it is now accepted that income gives too narrow a view of an individual's overall living standards and other indicators of living standards are needed. Multidimensional poverty measures are a useful tool for policymakers in order to identify target populations for policies aiming to improve equity and reduce chronic disadvantage. Methods We analyzed the Korea Welfare Panel Study, a nationally representative survey. Poverty variables were selected based on monetary and non-monetary categories. The six poverty dimensions were income, education, housing, medical care, social relationships, and employment. Depressive symptoms were measured using the Korean version of CES-D-11. Results All dimensions of poverty and depression had higher rates in people with disability than non-disabilities in the order of income (+33.1%p), education (+27.2%p), social relationships (+9.7%p), and medical care (+6.5%p). Depression rate was also higher for people with disability (p < .0001). The factors influencing depression of people with and without disability by multidimensional poverty were somewhat different. The disabled and non-disabilities with poverty of social relationships were equally more likely to have a depression (aOR=7.33, <.0001, aOR=3.85, <.0001), however, the non-disabled with medical care poverty were more likely to have a depression (aOR=6.76, <.0001) than without medical care poverty, and the disabled with employment poverty were about 3 times more depressed (aOR=3.67, <.0001) than with employment poverty. Conclusions This study suggest that access to various aspects of life, as well as income support, should be considered in policy making for resolving the poverty problems and mental health among people with disabilities. Key messages • There were disparities in the prevalence of multidimensional poverty and depression in the people with disabilities, especially those with severe disabilities. • The main factors influencing depression of people with disability by multidimensional poverty were social relationships and employment poverty.
