Rural development aims to improve the quality of life for rural populations. It is a multi-disciplinary field that involves improvements in areas like agriculture, infrastructure, education, and health. The document discusses various concepts related to rural development, including the stages of economic growth in traditional societies, preconditions for development, the take-off stage where self-sustaining growth begins, and later stages of maturity and mass consumption. Poverty remains a major challenge in the Philippines, though economic growth has helped reduce rates in recent decades. Creating more jobs and opportunities for the poor is key to accelerating poverty reduction.
This document discusses poverty in India. It defines poverty as the inability to meet minimum living standards for health, food, and efficiency. The document outlines the poverty line in India and trends showing poverty has decreased but many remain in poverty. Causes of poverty include rapid population growth, lack of capital and jobs, agricultural issues, social factors like the caste system, and unequal distribution of resources. The government has implemented various measures to reduce poverty such as employment programs, programs to acquire productive assets like loans for small businesses, and other programs focused on basic needs, education, housing, and infrastructure development.
- The document discusses migration push and pull factors, with push factors being reasons people leave an area like lack of services or poverty, and pull factors being reasons people move to a new area like higher employment or better services.
- It also addresses population growth issues in LEDCs, noting high birth rates balanced by high death rates in Stage 2 of the demographic transition model. Urbanization is increasing in LEDCs due to migration, high birth rates, and declining death rates.
The document discusses rural poverty in India. It defines poverty and outlines the poverty line used in India. It then lists several factors that contribute to poverty, including rapidly rising population, low agricultural productivity, underutilized resources, and unemployment. The document also suggests suitable measures to address poverty, such as providing employment opportunities, minimum needs programs, social security programs, developing small industries, and land reforms. It concludes by outlining some key poverty alleviation programs implemented in India.
The document discusses concepts of economic development and underdevelopment. It defines economic development as achieving sustainable growth in income per capita to expand output faster than population growth. However, this definition fails to consider issues like poverty, inequality, and unemployment. Development is also defined sociologically as industrialization, economic growth, and improved living standards. Countries that have not achieved these objectives are considered underdeveloped. Economic development encompasses both quantitative and qualitative progress, including improvements in quality of life, health, education, and other social indicators measured by indexes like the Human Development Index.
Poverty is the lack of basic human needs such as clean water, nutrition, healthcare, education, clothing, and shelter due to the inability to afford them. About 1.7 billion people live in absolute poverty. Historically, poverty has been reduced through economic growth which increases production and makes more wealth available. Investments in modernizing agriculture and increasing crop yields have also been important in reducing poverty, as three-quarters of the world's poor are rural farmers.

The document discusses the differences between economic growth and development. While growth refers simply to an increase in production, development encompasses improvements to human welfare and quality of life. It also examines various measures of growth, like GDP, and issues with only using these to assess development. Urbanization is presented as both driving growth but also creating problems if not managed sustainably. Population increases are framed as putting pressure on resources if not balanced with development.
Good Governance For a Better Tomorrow: Year-End Philippine Economic Briefing ...Arangkada Philippines
A presentation by the Philippine Economic Team and the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas Governor at the Year-End Philippine Economic Briefing on March 6, 2012
The document discusses the potential role of the African diaspora as a "fourth wheel" in megacommunities aimed at addressing issues on the continent. It argues that diaspora members represent a significant untapped resource due to the large sums of money sent back in remittances, which in some cases exceed foreign aid and contribute substantially to GDP. While remittances show their ongoing connection, they also indicate potential for increased foreign direct investment that could fuel economic growth if African countries create an environment welcoming diaspora participation and integration. Fully utilizing diaspora expertise, networks, and resources could help accelerate development progress in Africa.
The document discusses poverty in Pakistan. It defines poverty as lacking financial resources for a minimum standard of living. Over half of Pakistan's population lives below the international poverty line of $1.25 per day. Poverty rates have decreased from around 90% in 1987 to 66% in 2013 but many challenges remain. Major causes of poverty include poor government policies, corruption, low education rates, and high unemployment. Proposed solutions include ensuring equal rights and access to necessities for all, redistributing land, and creating jobs through improved policies.
This document summarizes a study on poverty transitions in rural Bangladesh between 1996-97 and 2006-07. It finds that while poverty declined substantially over this period, some households remained chronically poor. Initial characteristics like education levels and assets affected poverty status, as did common shocks like illness and death of earners. Life histories revealed that dowry payments combined with health expenses sometimes pushed households into chronic poverty. The study concludes there is still work to do in increasing education, building assets, and providing protection from risks like illness through mechanisms like microinsurance.
CBSE Class IX Social Studies ECONOMICS Poverty as a challengePranav Ghildiyal
Poverty is the lack of basic human needs like nutrition, healthcare, education, clothing and shelter that people are unable to afford. It is a major challenge due to causes like corruption that are increasing. Vulnerable groups have a high risk of falling into poverty. However, poverty can be reduced through joint efforts of people and the government, including existing schemes that provide aid, employment opportunities, and setting poverty lines.
This document is a project report submitted by Manoj Thadani to the University of Mumbai for their Master of Commerce program. The report examines trends in migration within India. It includes an introduction, definitions of migration, different types of migration, causes of migration, reasons for migration, key findings from the Indian NSSO survey on migration from 2007-2008, and a conclusion. The NSSO survey found that around 30% of Indians are migrants, with most migration occurring within states rather than between states. It also analyzed patterns of intra-state, inter-state, rural-urban migration and reasons for migration.
劉遵義 Income inequality under economic globalisation(final) 20150414Andy Kuo
The document discusses income inequality under economic globalization. It examines how globalization and technological changes have contributed to rising income inequality within and between countries. While globalization has helped lift many people out of poverty, it has also been a factor in increasing national income disparities and declining wages in some developed countries. The Gini coefficient is presented as a common measure of income inequality, with higher values indicating greater inequality.
This document discusses poverty and related economic issues in India. It provides statistics on poverty lines and rates of poverty in rural and urban areas. Key points include:
- India has a large poor population, with over 20% of the world's poorest people despite having 17.5% of the global population.
- Poverty is most prevalent in certain states like Bihar, Jharkhand, and West Bengal.
- Both relative and absolute measures are used to define and measure poverty.
The document discusses whether population is an asset or threat for growth in India. It notes that India has a large population that provides benefits like a large pool of talent and labor. However, it also faces challenges of population density, unemployment, poverty, and environmental hazards if resources are not properly managed. The conclusion is that population itself is not the problem; rather, mismanagement of resources is the key issue. If resources are well-managed, India can benefit from its demographic dividend, but it must learn from countries like Israel and Singapore to do so effectively.
Your (urban) or not (rural) but our poverty in indiaSureshramanan01
The document discusses poverty in India, defining it as inadequate access to food, shelter, health, education, and vulnerability. It outlines that poverty has many dimensions including income, security, education, and health. It provides the daily calorie requirements used to define the urban and rural poverty lines. It compares urban and rural poverty, noting that rural poverty is often due to agricultural failures while urban poverty can be exacerbated by rural migration. The document also discusses where most of India's poor population lives and common causes of poverty such as low agricultural productivity, corruption, and unequal income distribution. It provides population and poverty statistics for India and proposes solutions like boosting agriculture and motivating youth involvement to alleviate poverty.
This document summarizes three major economic problems in India: poverty, unemployment, and inflation. It defines each problem and discusses their causes and some measures taken by the Indian government to address them. Poverty is defined as a lack of basic needs and over 50% of Indians lack proper shelter, sanitation, or a nearby water source. Unemployment is higher in urban versus rural areas and structural unemployment is a challenge. Inflation can spur growth if mild but high inflation is problematic; India experiences different types of inflation from various causes. The government uses policies like credit control, increased taxes, and price controls to reduce inflation.
Urban poverty is a multidimensional issue that affects people's living conditions, access to basic services, and vulnerability. It exists worldwide to varying degrees. Common causes of urban poverty include overpopulation, natural disasters, illiteracy, unequal income distribution, lack of job growth, and rural-to-urban migration in search of livelihoods. Dimensions of urban poverty include limited assets, inadequate public infrastructure and services, lack of legal protection, lack of political voice, exploitation, and limited access to employment, health, and education. The National Slum Development Program aims to upgrade infrastructure and services in slums, but it only targets about half of slum settlements. Reports find that urban poverty is increasing as more people migrate
Poverty is a complex challenge that involves more than a lack of income. The document discusses different aspects and definitions of poverty, including the World Bank's description of poverty as lacking basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare and education. It also examines relative and absolute poverty, with absolute poverty measuring minimum calorie intake and consumption against the poverty line. Data shown indicates that in India in 2000, the most vulnerable groups to poverty included scheduled tribes, urban casual laborers, and rural agricultural laborers. The document also lists some government schemes aimed at alleviating poverty in India.
The document discusses various definitions and conceptualizations of poverty. It defines poverty as a lack of basic needs like food, shelter, and income, as well as a lack of access to opportunities and social inclusion. Poverty is multidimensional and can be defined and measured in both absolute and relative terms. The document also discusses causes, effects, and types of poverty.
The document discusses income inequality, which is the gap between rich and poor in terms of wealth and income distribution. It provides data on income inequality ratios between the richest and poorest 10% of populations in various countries. Income inequality varies between societies, economic systems, and over time. There are various ways to measure economic inequality numerically, including Lorenz curves and Gini coefficients. The document then discusses some of the key causes of income inequality like changes in labor markets, globalization, technology, and tax policies. It also discusses some of the impacts and trade-offs of income inequality.
Globalization and poverty are controversial issues. While globalization can lead to economic growth through increased trade and investment, it also widens inequality gaps and disproportionately impacts developing regions. Globalization promotes the interests of developed nations over poorer ones, making them more reliant on unstable foreign industries and employment. However, globalization itself is not the sole cause of poverty and, if implemented carefully and inclusively, it could still help develop nations compete internationally. The relationship between the two phenomena is complex with reasonable arguments on both sides.
Economics: Poverty, Inequality & Development Lilliene Alleje
The document discusses various methods for measuring poverty and inequality, including Lorenz curves, Gini coefficients, and the Multidimensional Poverty Index. It also examines the relationship between economic growth, inequality, and poverty reduction. Key growth typologies include traditional sector enrichment, modern sector enrichment, and modern sector enlargement. While growth may initially worsen inequality according to Kuznet's hypothesis, policies like progressive taxation, asset redistribution, and direct transfers can help address poverty and inequality.
Financing for development - SDG11 housing for allPATHIK KAPADIA
India faces challenges providing adequate housing and infrastructure due to rapid urbanization. 20% of India's population lives in urban areas, increasing the strain on cities. 15% of urban residents live in slums lacking basic needs. To elevate living standards and empower all citizens, sustainable and affordable housing is needed. While the government is working to improve slum settlements and create smart cities, current efforts are insufficient for India's large population. Additional funding sources like public-private partnerships, municipal bonds, and multilateral loans are needed to accelerate progress towards the UN's sustainable development goals of inclusive, safe cities. All sectors of society must contribute to solve India's housing crisis.
Poverty in Pakistan affects about 24% of the population and is higher in rural areas. There are different types of poverty including absolute poverty, relative poverty, situational poverty, and generational poverty. Poverty is caused by factors like failed government policies, corruption, unemployment, lack of investment, and environmental issues. Measures to reduce poverty include controlling inflation, improving agriculture and industry, providing more education funds, and increasing capital formation. Unemployment is also a major problem leading to financial issues and increased burden of debt. Overpopulation puts pressure on resources and contributes to rising poverty levels.

This document reviews literature on government support for volunteering to inform future community development directions. It identifies key challenges like increasing demand for services due to population growth and aging putting pressure on existing volunteers. Engaging new volunteers is difficult as expectations have changed from long-term commitments to short-term, episodic volunteering. Community organizations are heavily reliant on volunteers but their traditional recruitment methods may not reach potential volunteers. The literature shows volunteering provides economic and social benefits but the traditional model of sustained volunteering is becoming less viable requiring government support to address these issues.

KRI Brown Bag Seminar #1 - Islamic Finance: New Tools for Innovation with Soc...KhazanahResearchInstitute
KRI Brown Bag Seminar #1 which was held on the 15 February 2017 hosted guest speaker, Professor Saadiah Mohamad, who discussed the developments in social finance and provided a case for structuring Shariah-compliant products with social impact.
Her presentation acknowledged the claim among critics that there is an inherent weakness in the present-day Islamic banking and finance industry in terms of its underdeveloped social sector. She thus explored a framework for a socially responsible investment sukuk and social impact bonds (SIB) in the social finance space, and came up with recommendations for structuring a Shariah-compliant SIB or social sukuk.
Professor Saadiah’s arguments are based on her latest journal publication “A Case for an Islamic Social Impact Bond”, under the ACRN Oxford Journal of Finance and Risk Perspectives.
This document summarizes a report on research about the future of the charity sector in Ireland over the next 20 years. It conducted interviews and surveys with various stakeholders to understand their perspectives. Key findings included a desire for change in how charities operate, the need to demonstrate impact through data, issues with regulation and funding, challenges finding qualified people, and improving public understanding and transparency. The research aims to provoke debate on expectations of charities, the role of volunteers, impacts of regulation, needs for professionalism and organizational change, the role of the state, and triggers for change within charities.
As the world gets richer we hear more and more stories about powerful modern philanthropists like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett. But is there enough giving taking place overall? Is money given to the right causes? And what are the trends in philanthropy right now?
We investigated the philanthropy sector as an internal research project to inform potential future venture development. We’re happy to share the outputs here.
Managing NPOs final paper-Managing NPOs in ChinaXintong Hou
This document discusses managing non-profit organizations (NPOs) in China. It begins with defining NPOs in China according to government regulations. It then performs a SWOT (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, threats) analysis of China's NPOs. The strengths include their focus on development and social services due to ties to the government. Weaknesses include a lack of independence and mission-driven work, as well as poor social mobilization abilities. Opportunities include more development space encouraged by the government's needs and increasing public support after the 2008 Sichuan earthquake. The main threat comes from China's political and legal environment for NPOs.

Simon Duffy was asked by the Mayor’s Greater Manchester Charity and UBI Lab Manchester to talk at a recent roundtable event on the relevance of Universal Basic Income (UBI) to the problem of homelessness.
These are the slides from that talk. In summary Duffy argued that UBI is relevant to reducing homelessness in two slightly different ways:
1. UBI would help prevent homelessness - UBI addresses the inequalities in income and housing that create the risk of homelessness.
2. UBI would help people escape homelessness - UBI gives people a vital tool which significantly helps people change their situation in times of crisis.

The document discusses reaching out to the "unreached", or those who lack access to basic human needs and rights. It notes that while over 4 billion people remain unreached, communication technologies and various organizations have helped connect some. However, more can be done to promote social, economic, and political equity as envisioned by the welfare state. Non-governmental organizations and the United Nations have played major roles in supporting the unreached, as have initiatives like corporate social responsibility. New business models also show promise in improving rural economies and quality of life through greater access to goods, services, and technologies. Overall, more coordinated and effective strategies are still needed to truly transform the lives of the unreached.
The Role of Housing Providers in Sparking and Supporting SI by Margaret BurrellSocial Innovation Exchange
This document discusses a program run by the Young Foundation, Metropolitan Housing Association, and Olmec to support migrant social entrepreneurs in London and Nottingham. Through two programs called FSISE and CLIMB, over 60 migrant social entrepreneurs received support over 12 months. Metropolitan was interested due to its history assisting immigrants. Barriers faced by migrant entrepreneurs included prejudice, unrecognized qualifications, language skills, and lack of relationships with decision makers. The program helped participants establish businesses structures, networks, and articulate their offerings to housing associations. It served as a model for housing providers to support social entrepreneurs through intermediary organizations and address social needs.
Volunteerism is a powerful force for development and capacity building globally. Millions of people volunteer every day across many sectors such as health, construction, social services, and more. The common factor among volunteers is a commitment to the public good and working for the benefit of others rather than just themselves. Volunteerism has untapped potential and can help achieve development goals through grassroots participation and empowerment. Some motivations for volunteering include spiritual fulfillment, learning new skills, gaining life experiences, and improving mental well-being. The story of volunteerism in the Philippines highlights successful conversion of former military bases into economic zones through local volunteer efforts.

Monitor indicators of genetic diversity from space using Earth Observation dataSpatial Genetics
Genetic diversity within and among populations is essential for species persistence. While targets and indicators for genetic diversity are captured in the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework, assessing genetic diversity across many species at national and regional scales remains challenging. Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) need accessible tools for reliable and efficient monitoring at relevant scales. Here, we describe how Earth Observation satellites (EO) make essential contributions to enable, accelerate, and improve genetic diversity monitoring and preservation. Specifically, we introduce a workflow integrating EO into existing genetic diversity monitoring strategies and present a set of examples where EO data is or can be integrated to improve assessment, monitoring, and conservation. We describe how available EO data can be integrated in innovative ways to support calculation of the genetic diversity indicators of the GBF monitoring framework and to inform management and monitoring decisions, especially in areas with limited research infrastructure or access. We also describe novel, integrative approaches to improve the indicators that can be implemented with the coming generation of EO data, and new capabilities that will provide unprecedented detail to characterize the changes to Earth’s surface and their implications for biodiversity, on a global scale.

Trichogramma spp. is an efficient egg parasitoids that potentially assist to manage the insect-pests from the field condition by parasiting the host eggs. To mass culture this egg parasitoids effectively, we need to culture another stored grain pest- Rice Meal Moth (Corcyra Cephalonica). After rearing this pest, the eggs of Corcyra will carry the potential Trichogramma spp., which is an Hymenopteran Wasp. The detailed Methodologies of rearing both Corcyra Cephalonica and Trichogramma spp. have described on this ppt.
