Poverty incidence in bd
This presentation discusses the incidence of poverty in Bangladesh. It notes that while the poverty rate has dropped significantly from 44.2% in 1991 to 12.9% in 2016, rural poverty remains a major issue due to factors such as high population growth, low economic growth, and low productivity. Urban poverty is also a problem and is driven by limited job opportunities, income inequality, and lack of access to services in urban slums. The presentation examines both rural and urban poverty in Bangladesh and discusses some ways to reduce poverty rates through efforts like ensuring education, employment, reducing corruption, and empowering women.

Poverty and alliviation in Bangladesh
Poverty has been assigned as the number one problem for development of Bangladesh.
Though the country is making significant progress in the socio-economic field, poverty reduction is rather slow. This is mainly because of its high population size of 130 million (population census-2001) in an area of 1,41,000 sq. km. with a population density 840 per sq. km.
Every year, about 2 million population are adding to its population size. Country’s resources are struggling to support such increasing population.

Extreme poverty in Bangladesh: lessons, learnings and reflections
Extreme poverty in Bangladesh: lessons, learnings and reflectionsMaFI (The Market Facilitation Initiative)
Extreme poverty remains a challenge in Bangladesh despite reductions in overall poverty. The extreme poor have eroded assets, malnutrition, health issues, and exclusion from services. Standard poverty reduction strategies do not work for them due to assumptions about capacity and opportunities that do not apply. A new approach is needed that combines subsistence support, safety nets, health care, education to break intergenerational poverty cycles. Social protection including unconditional transfers is imperative for the most vulnerable. A pro-poor political settlement is needed to fund prevention, protection and promotion through expanded taxation.Assignment on Poverty Alleviation in Bangladesh
The document defines and discusses poverty from several perspectives. It notes that poverty involves lack of basic needs like food, shelter, and healthcare. Poverty can be absolute, involving deprivation of basic needs, or relative, defined based on economic inequality in a given location. The document also classifies poverty into income poverty, involving insufficient funds, and non-income poverty, where quality of life is poor despite some money due to lack of services and security. It provides statistics on poverty in Bangladesh, finding around 31% of the rural population suffers from chronic poverty with inadequate consumption and nutrition. The top reasons for poverty in Bangladesh are identified as rapid population growth and corruption among high-level officials.
Trends of poverty in bangladesh
This document summarizes poverty trends in Bangladesh based on various government reports and studies. It finds that while poverty has declined overall in Bangladesh since the 1990s, about 31.5% of the population still lives below the poverty line. Poverty is higher in rural areas and divisions outside of Dhaka have higher poverty rates. Factors perpetuating poverty include food inflation, unequal growth, income inequality, lack of education, natural disasters, and reliance on traditional agriculture with low productivity. Reducing poverty further requires more equitable income growth through job creation and modernizing the agricultural sector.
Poverty reduction trends and strategies in bangladesh
This presentation discusses poverty in Bangladesh. It begins with defining poverty and outlining different approaches to measuring poverty, including headcount ratio, direct calorie intake, and cost of basic needs methods. It then reviews the historical background of poverty in Bangladesh and trends showing a decline in poverty rates from 48.9% in 2000 to 31.5% in 2010. Causes of poverty include slow economic growth, income inequality, lack of assets and employment. Strategies to reduce poverty focus on promoting growth, social safety nets, microfinance, and addressing climate change impacts.

Poverty in World & India
Poverty is a complex problem in India with many interconnected causes. It is defined as the lack of basic human needs like food, shelter, healthcare, and education. Around 26% of India's population lives below the poverty line. Poverty disproportionately impacts agricultural laborers, lower castes, and women. While economic growth has reduced poverty, wealth is unevenly distributed and poverty remains a challenge, particularly in rural areas. The government runs various programs to alleviate poverty and improve health, education, employment, and food security. Overall, poverty is expected to continue declining as India's economy grows and more people join the expanding middle class.

Causes and impacts of poverty are also outlined. Various poverty indices like the Human Poverty Index and Global Hunger Index are explained. Strategies to address hidden hunger and malnutrition are provided.
POVERTY IN INDIA
This document is a project report analyzing poverty in India during the post-independence period. It was submitted by 4 students in partial fulfillment of their Bachelor of Arts degree in Economics at Mar Ivanios College of Arts and Science.

It also includes chapters on literature review, methodology, concepts/theories of poverty, data presentation and analysis, conclusions and suggestions, and references.
Government acts to reduce poverty in india
The document discusses government policies and acts in India aimed at reducing poverty, including the Jawahar Gram Samridhi Yojana rural development program, the National Family Benefit Scheme providing funds to families that lose their primary breadwinner, the Annapurna scheme providing free food grains to senior citizens, and the Mahatma Gandhi National Rural Employment Guarantee Act guaranteeing 100 days of paid work in rural areas. It notes that while the poverty rate has decreased from 64% to 30% since the 1960s, the total population below the poverty line has not decreased as the overall population has increased rapidly.

Poverty in INDIA
Poverty is a complex problem with many causes and effects. The document defines poverty as a lack of basic needs like food, shelter, healthcare, and education. It discusses absolute poverty, which is not being able to afford minimum living requirements, versus relative poverty, which is defined in comparison to others. Common causes of poverty include population growth, underutilized resources, low agricultural productivity, and unemployment. The effects of poverty especially impact children, women, and education levels. The government of India has implemented various programs and schemes aimed at reducing poverty through rural employment, infrastructure development, and social welfare programs.
Urban poverty in bangladesh
The studies on poverty and academic research, the “urban” has not yet been a significant part of it. Rapid rates of urbanization in Bangladesh is giving rise to increasing living in urban poor settlements. The livelihoods and challenges of these urban populations are unique and diverse. Nonetheless these poor urban settlements remain often invisible and their needs unserved. Thus the impact of unbridled urbanization deepens the scale and severity of urban poverty. In Bangladesh, urban poverty is found to be neglected in reducing poverty discourses such as research, policy and action. Urban poverty reduction will be subsequently important to the ability to meet national goals for poverty reduction that means policy and action must pay more attention to the urban poor.
Urban poverty:
Urban poverty is usually defined in two ways:
i. as an absolute standard based on a minimum amount of income needed to sustain a healthy and minimally comfortable life, and
ii. as a relative standard that is set based on average the standard of living in a nation.
Narratives of urban poverty in Bangladesh describe its characteristics, painting destructive pictures that prolong negative public and official perceptions of urban poverty and prevent greater action and commitment to the urban poor. They present images of squalid living conditions in dirty and unhygienic ‘slums’, where residents are exposed to high under- and unemployment and many are engaged in social disorders, such as crime, violence, drug addiction etc.
Poverty as a challenge
1. Approximately 270 million people in India, or 27% of the population, live below the poverty line, making India home to the largest population of poor people in the world.
2. Key issues related to poverty in India include landlessness, unemployment, large family sizes, illiteracy, poor health and malnutrition, child labor, and a sense of helplessness.
3. Poverty is more prevalent in rural areas compared to urban areas and affects certain social groups like Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes disproportionately. Inter-state disparities in poverty also exist across India.

global poverty scenario
Global poverty has declined substantially but there remain large regional differences. Poverty declined significantly in China and Southeast Asia due to economic growth and investment in education. However, the decline was more modest in South Asia, including India, where poverty declined only marginally despite a reduction in the percentage of poor people. Within India, poverty remains a serious problem in certain states like Orissa, Bihar, Assam, Tripura, and Uttar Pradesh, while there has been a significant decline in other states like Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, and West Bengal.
The urban poor get poor attention
Bangladesh's massive urban sector, comprising 525 urban centres, continues to grow. The BBS reports that 21 per cent of the urban population is below the poverty line, a third of whom is extreme poor.
Book Review on "Women and Poverty Alleviation in Bangladesh"
"Women and Poverty Alleviation in Bangladesh" was published in 2009 which was written by Dr. K M Reazul Karim, Md. Mafizur Rahman and S. M Ashiqul Murshed. This presentation is aimed to review this book.
Bangladesh Conundrum
Bangladesh has displayed stellar economic performance in the new millennium, but yet its per capita income has remained abysmally low. Despite, there has been a steady improvement in its levels of many social development outcomes. Popular commentaries have drawn comparisons with India and Pakistan in highlighting the significance of Bangladesh’s development achievements.
This phenomenon has been termed as the “BANGLADESH CONUNDRUM,” and has received extensive coverage in international media outlets, such as the
Inequality
The document discusses various types of inequality in different countries. In India, it describes gender inequality and how cultural factors like patriarchy and dowry system contribute. It also discusses economic inequality in India and how growth, asset distribution, employment, and regional differences impact inequality. In the US, it outlines gender pay gaps, lack of women in management, and differences in maternity leave policies. It also discusses growing wealth inequality in the US since the 1970s. In China, it summarizes gender income inequalities, higher unemployment rates for women, and discriminatory hiring practices against women. For Bangladesh, it outlines wealth inequality between the rich and poor, causes and impacts of poverty, and gender disparities in education.
Poverty an alarming threat
Poverty is a major threat in India, with both absolute and relative forms present. Absolute poverty involves inability to meet basic needs, while relative poverty is defined by a government as falling below minimum living standards. Rural poverty is often caused by dependence on agriculture and the impacts of inadequate rainfall or irrigation. Large family sizes, caste systems, and lack of opportunities and facilities for lower castes also contribute to rural poverty. Urban poverty results from massive migration from rural to urban areas due to lack of rural employment and opportunities. Several government programs aim to reduce poverty, but its impacts have yet to fully reach those most affected. Education, employment opportunities, development of small industries, population control, agriculture development, and proper resource utilization are
Poverty citizenship 2
Poverty in Bangladesh has significantly declined since the early 2000s due to decades of economic growth, reducing the poverty rate to under 9% in 2018. However, rising landlessness and lack of access to adequate healthcare plague the rural poor. BRAC, founded in 1972, aims to alleviate extreme poverty through their "poverty graduation" plan which provides assets, training, and health services to impoverished families, helping over 90,000 families and lifting most participants out of poverty permanently. As the world's largest NGO, BRAC operates programs in 13 countries across Asia, Africa, and the Americas.
3. Demographic Characteristics of Bangladesh.pdf
The document discusses the demographic characteristics and population trends of Bangladesh. It notes that Bangladesh has a very high population density, with over 160 million people living in a small land area. Some key points include:
- The population growth rate is high at around 1.7% annually, which is attributed to social factors like lack of education and economic development as well as high birth rates and child mortality.
- Literacy rates are low at 43% and the majority of the population depends on agriculture for livelihood. Population control measures aim to improve education, family planning access, and economic development.
- Population density is extremely high at over 2,800 people per square mile due to the large population concentrated in a small

Products include household goods, furniture, clothing, handicrafts, and more, utilizing locally available raw materials like clay, bamboo, jute, wood, and metals.
Importance of cottage industry
The document discusses the importance of cottage and small-scale industries in subcontinental areas. It notes that there is a shortage of capital and technical skills, making it difficult to establish heavy industries. Small-scale industries are easier to increase in number and have several advantages, including increasing industrial production and employment opportunities, especially for women; earning foreign exchange by exporting goods; utilizing industrial waste; and developing backward areas. Small-scale industries are also more affordable to establish and operate due to lower costs.
Small and cottage industries
This document provides an introduction and overview of the Bangladesh Small and Cottage Industries Corporation (BSCIC). It discusses that BSCIC was established in 1957 to support the development of small and cottage industries in Bangladesh. It provides key services like infrastructure development and technical assistance to small businesses.

Consequences of industrial revolution
The industrial revolution marked a shift from manufacturing done in homes using hand tools to powered machinery and factories. This increased labor productivity and made products cheaper. However, it also led to major environmental changes like increased carbon emissions and population growth. Technological advancements included the invention of the steam engine and increasing use of electricity. The industrial revolution resulted in social consequences such as the emergence of the capitalist system and industrial working class as well as labor exploitation and changing working conditions.
Agro forestry in bangladesh
Social forestry aims to provide economic, ecological, and social benefits to rural communities and those living in poverty. It involves local people in planning and execution of tree growing from start to finish to help environmental, social, and rural development. Agroforestry is the deliberate integration of trees and shrubs into crop and livestock operations to achieve increased economic and environmental benefits. It is practiced on individual farms and involves integrating two or more components on the same land to maximize production in a sustainable way.
Association between-variables
The document discusses various statistical methods for analyzing relationships between variables, including chi-square tests, measures of association like lambda and gamma, and rank correlation. Chi-square tests can be used to test for independence and goodness of fit between nominal or ordinal variables. Measures like lambda and gamma range from 0 to 1 and indicate the strength of association while controlling for errors. Rank correlation assesses relationships between variables when only ordinal data is available by analyzing the agreement between ranks. Cross tabulation allows investigating patterns of bivariate association through distribution analysis.
Association between-variables
The document discusses chi-square test and its properties. It defines chi-square as a non-parametric statistical test used for discrete data to test for independence and goodness of fit between observed and expected frequencies. The chi-square test has some key assumptions including independent random samples, nominal or ordinal level data, and no expected cell counts below 5. It is calculated by subtracting expected from observed frequencies, squaring the differences, and dividing by expected counts. The chi-square test can identify if there is a significant association between variables but does not measure the strength of the association.
Political Economy Constraints For Urban Development
This document discusses the political economy constraints for urban development. It identifies several wider factors that shape urbanization including large population growth, high rates of migration, and inappropriate policy making. At the governance level, there are issues of policy incoherence, institutional fragmentation, and the exclusion of urban poor from decision making. For service delivery, there are challenges around urban water, sanitation, housing, and transportation due to factors like demographic heterogeneity. Conflict and violence can also impact urban areas due to issues like rapid urban growth, social inequalities, and the inability to absorb surplus labor. The document provides examples of these constraints from the perspective of urban development in Bangladesh as well.

This presentation was provided by Steph Pollock of The American Psychological Association’s Journals Program, and Damita Snow, of The American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), for the initial session of NISO's 2024 Training Series "DEIA in the Scholarly Landscape." Session One: 'Setting Expectations: a DEIA Primer,' was held June 6, 2024.A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Incidence of poverty in Bangladesh
- 1. Welcome to the Presentation
- 2. Presented by Md. Emdadul Haque Id No. 31 Dept. of Sociology University of Dhaka
- 3. INCIDENCE OF POVERTY IN BANGLADESH
- 4. CONTENTS • Concept of poverty • Previous Condition of Poverty in Bangladesh • Present Condition of Poverty in Bangladesh • Comparison of Bangladesh with Other South Asian Countries • Causes of Poverty in Bangladesh • Effects of Poverty • Solution of Poverty • Conclusion
- 5. CONCEPT OF POVERTY • Poverty is the scarcity or the lack of a certain (variant) amount of material possessions or money. • Poverty is a multifaceted concept, which may include social, economic, and political elements. • Absolute poverty, extreme poverty, or destitution refers to the complete lack of the means necessary to meet basic personal needs such as food, clothing and shelter.
- 6. • Bangladesh is a model for developing countries. It has also been included in the lower middle income country category last year. • The GDP growth rate of Bangladesh is 7.1% and per capita GDP is $1465 (FY-2016). Increasing of GDP improves standard of living and quality of life of citizens.
- 7. But income distribution gap is increasing between rich and poor. Gini coefficient shows income inequality between the rich and poor citizens of a country. Gini coefficient of 2016 is 0.39 in our country. In 2014, this coefficient of Bangladesh was 0.31. Because of increasing imbalanced distribution of income; in 2016, Gini coefficient also increases; it is 0.39. Because of unequal distribution of income, income gap is getting wider between rich and poor.
- 8. PREVIOUS CONDITION OF POVERTY IN BANGLADESH • When it comes to the biggest challenges facing Bangladesh, surely poverty is one of the most crucial. And there is still much work to be done. • According to the latest survey results, the poverty rate in rural areas was 26.4 percent, while urban poverty was 18.9 percent. The current rate of extreme poverty is 12.9 percent, compared to 17.6 percent six years ago.
- 9. The poverty rate in the 2010 survey was 31.5 percent. In rural areas, the poverty rate was 35.2 percent and in urban areas 21.3 percent.” Bangladesh’s poverty rate has dropped 7.2 percentage points to 24.3 percent in six years, according to a survey by the country’s statistical agency.
- 10. PRESENT POVERTY CONDITION IN BANGLADESH • California’s extreme poverty rate is 16%, while that of Bangladesh was measured at 12.9% in 2016 and 17.6% in 2010. • Bangladesh’s poverty rate reduced to 24.3% at the end of the last year from 31.55% in previous years, according to a survey report.
- 11. COMPARISON OF BANGLADESH WITH OTHER SOUTH ASIAN COUNTRIES
- 12. CAUSES OF POVERTY IN BANGLADESH • Over Population • High Birthrate • Lack of Education • Unemployment • Low wage • Natural Disaster • Dowry System • Largeness of Family • Lack of Cultivable Land • Lack of Social Integration • Traditional Agriculture • Income Inequality
- 13. EFFECTS OF POVERTY • Homelessness • Severity of Disease • High Rise in Cost of Living • Poor Literacy Rate • Malnutrition • Hunger • Increasing Crime Rate • Child Mortality
- 14. • Dependency • Unemployment • Drug Addiction • Price Rise • Terrorism and Genocide • Extremism • Social Isolation • Lower Life Expectancy
- 15. SOLUTION OF POVERTY • Formulating and implementing plan at national level for crediting poverty. • Population control. • Minimizing social discrimination. • Employment generation. • Increasing production rate. • Promoting Technology. • Development of Economic System.
- 17. CONCLUSION The poverty stricken areas either do not have the available facilities, or can only afford low quality healthcare. This is a problem that is common in both the rural and urban poor. For the urban poor, the problem has worsened as they can only afford to stay in slums where there are problems of overcrowding and unhygienic living conditions.
- 18. Thank You
