Income inequality
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.
What is poverty???
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.
Income Inequality presentation
Income inequality has increased in both rural and urban areas of India according to the Gini coefficient. The Gini coefficient for rural India increased by 13% and for urban India by 15%, indicating rising disparities in income, expenditure, and savings patterns between rich and poor. Higher-income states and larger cities have significantly higher average incomes compared to their population shares. Factors contributing to rising income inequality in India include unequal distribution of assets, differences in growth rates across states and sectors, and lack of adequate work opportunities for those without assets.
Income inequality
This document discusses various measures used to analyze income inequality and poverty. It defines income inequality as the unequal distribution of income across members of an economy. The Lorenz curve is introduced as a graphical representation of income distribution. Measures of poverty discussed include the headcount index, poverty gap, poverty gap index, and Foster-Greer-Thorbecke index. These measures provide ways to quantify levels of poverty and income inequality within and between populations.
poverty
Poverty is general scarcity or the state of one who lacks a certain amount of material possessions or money. It is a multifaceted concept, which includes social, economic, and political elements. Poverty in Pakistan has fallen dramatically, independent bodies supported estimates of a considerable fall in the statistic by the 2007-08 fiscal year, when it was estimated that 17.2% of the total population lived below the poverty line
Reduced inequalities
This document discusses reducing inequality. It defines social inequality and lists several types, including political, income/wealth, opportunity, treatment/responsibility, membership, gender, racial/ethnic, age, and health inequalities. Facts show inequality increased 11% in developing countries from 1990-2010 and most people live in unequal societies. Inequality can harm growth beyond a threshold. Reducing inequality involves programs supporting youth outcomes across academic, social, behavioral and economic domains through fighting poverty and elevating lower incomes rather than restricting top incomes. Common policies across countries include early childhood development, universal healthcare, education, conditional cash transfers, rural infrastructure and progressive taxation. Simulations show reducing inequality faster than current global growth rates may be needed to end
Inequality, Economic Growth and Development
The document discusses inequality, economic growth, and development. It covers several topics: Kuznets and income inequality; real income growth in the USA and top income shares; a global perspective on inequality between 1988-2008 showing rising incomes for the middle class in China and India. It also discusses the root causes of inequality like less progressive tax systems and market failures in education and housing. Strategies to reduce inequality include investing in education, pursuing inclusive pro-poor growth policies, and microfinance. Overall, the document examines inequality from various economic perspectives and proposes approaches to promote shared prosperity across populations.

Unemployment in Bangladesh: Challenges and prospects
Unemployment is a major problem in Bangladesh due to its large and growing population. Each year, many students graduate from universities but the government fails to generate enough jobs to meet demand. Unemployment occurs when people are able and willing to work but cannot find employment. There are several types of unemployment including seasonal, frictional, and structural. Currently, unemployment is estimated at 30 million people in Bangladesh and is projected to reach 60 million by 2015. High population growth and lack of skills and job opportunities are key contributors to unemployment. Minimizing unemployment will require expanding vocational training, improving education, promoting self-employment and reviving small industries.
Inequality in Pakistan
The document discusses inequality in Pakistan across multiple dimensions such as income, assets, access to services, education and gender. It notes that the richest 18 million people in Pakistan consume 1.5 times as much as the poorest 72 million. Inequality traps exist that prevent upward mobility, with only 9% of those born to the bottom income quintile making it to the top quintile as adults, while 52% of those born rich remain rich. Reducing inequality will require policy reforms like improving tax collection, increasing public services spending, enforcing minimum wage and undertaking land reforms. However, tackling inequality in all its forms will be an ongoing challenge.
5 Characteristics Of Developing Countries
Developing nations typically have 5 key characteristics: 1) widespread poverty where basic needs cannot be reliably met; 2) a large percentage (50-70%) of the workforce in agriculture, which is unreliable due to poor soil/tools/conditions and results in food shortages; 3) scarce capital both physical (tools, infrastructure) and human (education, skills); 4) limited imports due to low exports after meeting local needs with natural resources; and 5) rapidly growing populations which further strains limited resources.
Poverty
This document discusses poverty in India. It defines poverty as the inability to afford basic human needs like food, shelter and education. Poverty has been a long-standing problem in India and was intense during the colonial era. There are two concepts of poverty - absolute poverty refers to inability to consume a minimum number of calories, while relative poverty compares income levels. Rural poverty affects agricultural laborers and the landless, while urban poverty affects slum dwellers. Government measures to reduce poverty include rural employment programs, training for self-employment, subsidized food and loans for small businesses.
Unemployment
This document discusses unemployment, including its definition, measurement, types, causes, and rates in Pakistan. It defines unemployment as people who are without work but actively seeking employment. There are four main types of unemployment discussed - frictional, seasonal, cyclical, and structural. Frictional unemployment results from transitions between jobs, seasonal from industries that vary by season, cyclical from insufficient aggregate demand in the economy, and structural from mismatch between worker skills and job requirements. Causes and measures to address unemployment are also reviewed.

Multidimensional Poverty Index
The Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) provides a comprehensive measure of poverty by considering multiple deprivations across three dimensions: education, health, and standard of living. The MPI identifies anyone as multidimensionally poor if they are deprived in at least 30% of weighted indicators. Half of the world's poor according to the MPI live in South Asia, with India home to the largest number at over 400 million. Within India, states such as Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, and Jharkhand have very high levels of multidimensional poverty.
Incomeinequality
The document discusses income inequality and the Occupy Wall Street movement. It defines income inequality as the uneven distribution of income among a population. In the U.S., the gap between rich and poor has grown significantly over the past 30 years. Occupy Wall Street protested in 2011 against social and economic inequality and the control large financial institutions have. The movement drew attention to the fact that the top 20% of Americans control over half the country's wealth. Income inequality is a global issue and the gap between rich and poor continues to widen both in developed and developing nations.
POVERTY IN INDIA
This document discusses poverty in India, including its causes and the government's efforts to address it. It notes that while India has experienced high economic growth, large scale poverty remains a major issue, with over 350-400 million people living below the poverty line. Poverty is more prevalent in rural versus urban areas. The document outlines reasons for rural poverty such as population growth, illiteracy, the caste system, and lack of access to resources and opportunities. It also discusses urban poverty and the government's various programs aimed at reducing both rural and urban poverty. In conclusion, it emphasizes the need for effective implementation of anti-poverty policies and avoidance of political clashes that could undermine such efforts.
Poverty
The poverty line is used to determine whether a person or family can meet their basic needs. It is usually calculated based on the total cost of essential resources needed for survival. Definitions and thresholds of the poverty line vary between countries and regions. For example, in India the official poverty line is lower in rural areas compared to urban centers.
Causes and Effects of Poverty
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and the poverty cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that the poor have little concern for the future or engage in self-defeating behaviors. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health problems, accidents, and missed school. Poverty also increases stress levels in families. The cycle of poverty refers to how poverty can span generations as those in poverty lack the resources to escape it.
Poverty
This document discusses concepts related to poverty, including definitions of poverty lines and methods for measuring poverty. It outlines several key causes of poverty, such as low economic growth, population pressure, unemployment, and outdated social institutions. Finally, it lists some measures that can be taken to reduce poverty, like accelerating economic growth, reducing income inequality through legislation, controlling population growth, and improving quality of life for the poor.
Unemployment
This document discusses unemployment in South Africa. It begins by defining unemployment as having no job despite being able and willing to work. There are four main types of unemployment: frictional, structural, cyclical, and institutional. Causes of unemployment include poor governance, corruption, lack of job creation, and catastrophic events. Effects of unemployment include psychological issues, poverty, substance abuse, health problems, and negative family impacts. The document presents statistics on unemployment rates in South Africa and innovative solutions such as reorienting education, volunteering, entrepreneurship, and community work.
Poverty in Pakistan
Poverty in Pakistan is a growing concern, as nearly one-quarter of the population was classified as poor as of 2006, though this declined to 17.2% by 2008. Some key causes of poverty in Pakistan discussed in the document include lack of education and job skills, materialism weakening social bonds and support systems, division of agricultural land reducing farm viability, and dishonest and irresponsible behaviors undermining the economy. Poverty carries significant health, educational, and social risks, especially for children and homeless families. The document argues that poverty will not end without economic and political reforms that promote equality, transparency, environmental sustainability, and basic human rights for all people worldwide.
Effects of poverty
Poverty is defined as a lack of material possessions necessary to live a decent quality of life. In the Philippines, over 22 million people, more than one-fifth of the population, live below the national poverty line. Poverty has negative impacts on health and development, as those living in poverty experience worse physical and mental health outcomes and are at higher risk for unhealthy behaviors. Poverty also affects children's growth and development both physically and cognitively. While some believe poverty can be overcome through hard work alone, reports show many Filipinos work hard yet remain in poverty due to unstable socioeconomic conditions.
Inequality in Pakistan
This document discusses inequality and recommendations to reduce inequality in Pakistan. It notes that inequality traps exist that allow the rich to remain rich through lack of upward mobility and issues with the education system. Gender inequality is also discussed. The document provides recommendations from experts to reduce inequality such as implementing land reform, enforcing tax collection, increasing the minimum wage, and increasing access to education and vocational training. It argues that the government can play a role in leveling the playing field and reducing inequality through tax reforms such as decreasing exemptions and increasing compliance.
Measures to reduce income inequality
This document outlines several measures that could be used to reduce income inequality:
1) A progressive tax system where tax rates increase with income could generate government revenue to fund services for low-income groups like healthcare, housing, and education.
2) Transfer payments like child support and disability payments that are made without an exchange of services increase the income of underprivileged households.
3) Subsidies for education can promote equal access and increase graduation rates, helping to reduce future inequality.
Child poverty
Child poverty is a serious issue globally. Over 1 billion children worldwide live in poverty without adequate shelter, water, health services, or immunization. Poverty negatively impacts children's development and health, with poor children being twice as likely to have stunted growth. Living in poverty also takes a psychological toll on children and parents, adding stress and sometimes leading to disrupted parenting. If child poverty is not addressed, it risks perpetuating an intergenerational cycle where the children of poor children become poor themselves, negatively impacting communities and societies. Addressing child poverty requires action and inspiration to change conditions for children worldwide.
POVERTY_GROUP-8.pptx
The document discusses poverty, including its definition, types (absolute and relative), characteristics, causes, effects, and impacts on society. It notes that poverty means a lack of basic needs and opportunities according to the UN. There are also discussions of determining the poverty line, characteristics of those in poverty such as living in rural areas and relying on agriculture, and some measures that can be taken to reduce poverty such as increasing access to education, healthcare, and economic security.
