While Kerala has been hailed for its development in social sectors, the available data show the remarkable finding that Kerala’s morbidity is the highest in India. Literature reveals two major streams of argument for this, one questioning the comparability of the reported rates of morbidity and the other admitting that the higher rates of morbidity actually represent the situation.  The present study analyses the pattern of morbidity in Kerala, tries to analyse the morbidity pattern and finds out the reasons for highest morbidity in highest Monthly Per Capita Consumption Expenditure (MPCE) group and lower morbidity in ST households. The paper argues that the prevalence of lifestyle diseases among highest MPCE group is one critical reason for the high morbidity rates in Kerala. It also proposes urgent interventions on behalf of the government that can effectively counter the high rates of infectious diseases among ST households.

Education is one of the most important aspects in a person's life because it will affect his life for the better in the future. They will have the opportunity to get a better job, better marriage and so on. However, in developing countries, poverty is still one of the factors that prevent poor households from accessing education for their children. Therefore, it is necessary for the government to provide accessible education by poor households. One obstacle for governments to provide educational services is the cost of providing them. Therefore, in this research will be simulated the transfer of fuel subsidy for the provision of education services using the SUBSIM analysis tool. Based on the scenario built, it was found that the most enjoying the price of education services decline was the poor households with the highest 20% per capita consumption expenditure. They had higher education expenditure compared to other households. Therefore, the challenge of the government is how to encourage poor households to  send their children for higher education

The analysis showed that there has been an increase in the welfare of the people of East Java. This is indicated by an increase in the amount of non-food expenditure is higher than food expenditure. Factors affecting household food expenditure in East Java are GRDP per capita, inflation rate, rice prices, and non-food expenditure. Based on these results it is suggested that the government needs to maintain the stability of prices of goods and services to avoid inflation because inflation will reduce public consumption and have implications for the economy of East Java.

The study investigated some aspects of food security situations in the Rewa district presently facing a very serious poverty and hunger situation. The study explores some significant factors influencing the food consumption pattern in the Rewa district using primary survey data covering 200 households. An empirical investigation applying multiple regression analysis revealed that per capita consumption of food or food consumption expenditure was positively influenced by age, educational level of household head and also by factors like ownership of household and access to LPG. Size and scheduled caste identity of the household, as well as access to PDS, affected negatively the food consumption pattern. The study helped to identify the barriers required for food availability at the household level in the district.

The purpose of this paper is to assess the welfare status and analyze the impact of participation in farm package programs on the welfare of smallholder farmers. We used three round panel data of 789 households from the Eastern zone of Tigray, and the fixed effect instrumental variable method was employed in the estimation. The study found that consumption expenditure, income, and asset per capita of the households increased across the survey years. The participation of households in the integrated package programs has a positive and statistically significant impact on the consumption expenditure and calorie per adult equivalent, but not the income and asset per capita of the households. Also, affects the consumption expenditure per adult equivalent of the married households. To enhance the welfare of the beneficiaries, the provision of the package programs should align with the local resource endowment, focus on youth, widowed and divorced households and the government should prioritize and limit the number of packages that households can participate in.
