이 연구는 한국복지패널 2006~2015년 자료를 이용하여 사회보장급여의 빈곤완화효과를 분석하였다. 분석결과 사회보장급여는 빈곤갭을 상당한 정도로 감소시키는 것으로 나타났다. 국민기초생활보장, 공적연금, 기초연금 등의 제도가 비교적 큰 빈곤완화효과를 거두고 있는 반면 장애수당, 산재 고용보험, 보육 등의 빈곤완화효과는 이에 비해 훨씬 작은 편이다. 사회보장급여액과 빈곤완화효율성이라는 두 요소가 빈곤완화효과의 크기를 결정한다. 최근 사회보장제도의 확대에 따라 빈곤완화효율성은 대체로 감소하였으나 사회보장급여액이 더 크게 증가했기 때문에 빈곤완화효과는 점차 커졌다. 사회보장제도의 빈곤완화효과를 높이기 위해서는 선별주의적 제도의 단점을 극복하면서도 효율성을 도모할 수 있는 방법을 모색할 필요가 있다.

This article aims to measure the impact of economic growth and urbanization on poverty reduction in Vietnam, and verify whether economic growth and urbanization will help reduce poverty rates. Data for this study are tabular data related to growth, urbanization and poverty at the provincial level for the period of nine years, from 2006 to 2014 provided by the Vietnam General Statistics Office and the Vietnam General Department of Customs. The level of economic growth and urbanization mentioned in the study is reflected in such indicators as GDP value, exports value, imports value, urbanization rate and employment rate. The authors used logistic regression models with fixed-effects and logistic regression models with random effects. With 5% confidence level tested by the Chi-Square test of Hausman trial with the fixed-effect model, research results show that: (1) factors with significant negative impact on the poverty rate include imports value, urbanization rate and, employment rate; (2) factors that do not affect the poverty rate include exports value and GDP value. Based on the research results, this study proposes a number of policy recommendations to help promote economic growth, to sustain the urbanization process, and to contribute directly and positively to poverty reduction in Vietnam.

The relevance of the research is due to the fact that the issue of poverty is one of the most acute social problems of the beginning of the third millennium. The phenomenon of poverty is widespread in third world countries as well as it is observed in relatively developed countries. Poverty rates in Latin America are threatening. Consequently, the issue of social and economic inequality in these countries has become extremely acute. The purpose of the research: to identify the causes of poverty and social inequality and substantiate the main directions of poverty reduction in third world countries. The research methods: comparative analysis; index method; systematization; grouping; generalization. Results. The classification of the causes of poverty has been carried out and the directions of its overcoming in the countries of Latin America on groups of indicators have been defined, namely: 1) political; 2) economic; 3) demographic; 4) regional-geographical; 5) social; 6) qualification; 7) personal. Based on the Net Domestic Product indicator, a comparison of economic indicators of the studied countries has been carried out. It has been revealed that from 1990 to 2018 income inequality increased in 52 of 119 countries studied, and decreased in 57 states. Inequality has increased in the world's most populous countries, particularly China and India. In general, countries with growing inequality are home to more than two-thirds (71%) of the world's population. Trends in the distribution of income in the world have been investigated by applying the Gini index, the high level of which is observed in Latin America (Colombia 48,9%, Panama 46,1%, Chile and Mexico 45,9%). The forecast of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on this issue has been outlined; the ways of its impact on the economies of the countries have been studied. As a result of the study, the main directions and mechanisms of the strategy for poverty reduction and social inequality in the third world countries have been identified. The implementation of the poverty reduction strategy presented in this academic paper may have a positive impact on the economic situation of the population of Latin American countries.

The multidimensional poverty index is an indicator system established for defining and evaluating poverty, to understand poverty in dimensions beyond just monetary scarcity. Based on income, education, health, living standards, and social dimensions, this article measures and analyzes the level of multidimensional poverty in Xinjiang using the AlkireFoster method, with cross-sectional data obtained from a 2022 survey. Probit model is constructed for regression analysis, further considering the impact of education on enhancing feasible capabilities and alleviating multidimensional poverty at the post-poverty alleviation era. The data shows that many people still face significant challenges from the perspective of multidimensional poverty; the decomposition results of each dimension show that education contributes more to the multidimensional poverty; the regression analysis results show that the higher the education level, the lower the multidimensional poverty; heterogeneity analysis revealed that the inhibitory effect of education on multidimensional poverty is greater for females than males, and the poverty reduction effect of education mainly concentrates on middle-aged and older individuals. This article is meaningful for exploring strategies to alleviate multidimensional poverty in ethnic minority regions in frontier areas in the new era, accelerating regional economic development, and achieving shared prosperity.

Cameroon, with her numerous resources, still depends on foreign aid while the rate of poverty remains high. Thus, even though historical evidence gives impetus to the impasse over role of developmental aid, from the top down approach through to development as a springboard raising states from the doldrums of poverty, it is still very difficult to draw a substantial relationship between developmental aid and poverty reduction. Against this backdrop of controversy, I find it apt to put Cameroon on a balance scale. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to critically assess the implications of developmental aid on poverty reduction and agro-rural development in Cameroon, using the RUMPI Area Development Project in the South West region of Cameroon as a case study. The study will situate and contextualize the top-down and bottom-up approaches to development within the basis of a Cameroonian perspective, using the Sachs-Easterly debate. The RUMPI Project was introduced with the objective of improving agriculture and empowering the rural woman; thereby fighting poverty within the South West region of Cameroon. Despite its criticism of the barriers to development created by corruption, political pressure and limited use of local and grass-root partnerships, the study, in assessing these failures also tries to outline vital ways in which the project can be improved upon.

The paper aims to investigate empirical causes of poverty of the Khmer ethnic people and suggest policy implication to help the Khmer ethnic people escape poverty in Tra Vinh province and the Mekong Delta. The study has been conducted with direct interviews with 300 Khmer households living in seven districts and cities in Tra Vinh province and with the use of multivariate regression. The research results show that a number of causes that affect poverty of poor households include lack of capital for production, lack of means of production, poor health and lack of labor, large families, lack of job opportunities or unemployment, and lack of willingness to escape poverty and education. Thus, there should be poverty reduction policy for the poor househlods in the coming time. Based on the current situation and regression results, the authors propose a number of recommendations: 1) Focus on preferential loan policies for poor people 2) Provide occupational training programs for improving incomes for the Khmer ethnic households 3) Build up special infrastructure in the Khmer ethnic areas 4) Focus on promoting cultural and belief institutions in areas of the Khmer ethnic people and 5) Improve and build up healthcare clinics services and facilities.

이 연구의 목적은 기초생활보장제도의 도입으로 대표되는 최근의 국가복지제도 변화가 사회성원들의 복지욕구에 대한 공적 이전과 사적 이전의 효과를 어떤 식으로 변모시켰는지를 경험적으로 분석하는 것이다. 이러한 목적을 달성하기 위해 이 연구에서는 이전 소득의 원천을 기준으로 공적 이전과 사적 이전을 구분하고, 각각의 빈곤 감소 효과를 분석하는 접근 방식을 택한다. 즉, 기초생활보장제도의 시행을 반영하고 있는 2001년도 도시가계자료를 활용하였으며, 소득의 이전을 개인 간 혹은 가족 간에 이루어지는 사적 이전과 사회보장정책을 통해 이루어지는 공적 이전으로 구분하였으며, 각각의 빈곤 감소 효과를 효과성과 효율성 지표를 활용하여 비교했다. 그 결과, 두 가지의 흥미로운 사실이 발견되었다. 첫째, 선행연구들과 마찬가지로 여전히 사적 이전이 공적 이전보다 더 큰 빈곤 감소 효과를 가지지만, 그 격차는 상당히 완화되었다. 둘째, 사적 이전과 공적 이전의 빈곤 감소 효과는 가구 유형에 따라 달리 나타난다. 공적 이전의 확대 혹은 사적 이전의 축소가 이러한 분석결과를 가져왔겠지만, 이 연구에서는 기초생활보장제도의 도입으로 대표되는 공적 이전의 확대가 더 큰 영양을 미쳤을 것이라고 가정한다. 한편, 가구유형에 따라 공적 이전과 사적 이전의 빈곤 감소 효과가 상이하게 나타난다는 분석결과는 빈곤정책의 수립에 있어 빈곤계층의 다양성을 고려하는 것이 중요하다는 점을 다시 한번 일깨우는 것일 뿐 아니라, 사적 이전으로 대표되는 연복지의 제공논리에 대한 보다 상세한 분석의 필요성을 제기한다.

지금까지 밝혀진 실증적인 성장과 분배의 관계는, 성장은 평균적으로 분배중립적으로 분배에 특정한 형태의 영향을 미친다는 실증적 증거는 없으며, 높은 부의 불평등도는 성장을 저해한다는 점이다. 한편 성장과 분배는 모두 빈곤에 이론적 실증적으로 영향을 미친다. 따라서 빈곤의 감소를 위해서는 성장과 분배의 정책적 조합이 필요하므로 성장과 분배의 이분법은 잘못된 것이다. 현 시점에서 한국이 성장과 분배의 조화를 통해 절대빈곤을 감소시키기 위해서는 세계은행에서 권장하는 빈곤감소적 성장을 추구할 필요가 있다. 한편, 절대적 빈곤과 절대적 불평등도는 음의 상관관계에 있기 때문에 양극화의 논의가 절대적 불평등도를 감소시키자는 정책으로 진행되어서는 절대빈곤의 감소를 기대하기 어려울 것이다.
