Poverty is a complex social problem, therefore handling must be complex. This paper aims to uncover the real conditions of the poor in South Sulawesi using resource grounded. Research shows that poor people in South Sulawesi forced to live in slum housing or live in a cramped room, inadequate sanitation, and no proper health standards. They work in the informal sector as a handyman bentor, pedicab drivers, masons, fishermen, or agricultural labourers. This has resulted in their income is very low, the average median IDR5.218 per day per person or IDR36.526 per day per family, while the expenditure of the poor at IDR6.147 per day per person or at IDR43.031 per day per family. Low income causes a very low level of education. The long -term problem, if it is down to the next generation, will be very dangerous for the survival of their families in particular and the next generation in general.

Malnutrition is primarily due to poverty, a manifestation of social injustice with inadequate distribution of resources and services within and between countries. By limiting the capability of poor people to improve their economical and social status, malnutrition helps to perpetuate this situation. A change in developmental policies taking more into account the improvement of living conditions of the poor is needed to correct this social problem.

Interviews with 60 parents of children attending a rheumatic fever clinic showed confusion and many unrealistic beliefs about the disease and its long-term effects, about recurrences, and about the rationale for the prophylactic program. The parents' all-pervading anxiety about heart disease and death led them to impose or continue restrictions contrary to medical advice, even on children with normal hearts. The mothers' lack of understanding correlated with their level of education and a number of social and environmental factors. One group of families with a clearly defined pattern of social characteristics-almost entirely Negro, on public assistance, with a low educational level, a very low income, and a high degree of family disorganization-stood out because of its lack of understanding about the disease and about its prophylactic treatment. The responses of Negro mothers on public assistance as well as those with higher educational and income levels were similar in several respects and differed from those of Caucasian mothers. On the basis of what the mothers reported, communication about the disease was remarkably poor between physician and parent, parent and child, and physician and patient.

Concentration Of Poverty

During the 1990s, local and federal urban policymakers, neoliberal politicians, and advocates for the poor came to a broad consensus: the geographic concentration of low-income, minority residents in public housing projects located in the inner city constitutes the fundamental problem facing US cities. Accordingly, to solve the problems allegedly associated with the spatial concentration of poverty, public housing, which concentrates low-income people in the inner city, must be demolished and the residents relocated. In this paper I argue that such federal public housing policies are based on a conceptually inadequate understanding of the role of space and of spatial influences on poverty and on the behavior of poor people. The use of spatial metaphors such as the ‘concentration of poverty’ or the ‘deconcentration of the poor’ disguises the social and political processes behind poverty and helps to provide the justification for simplistic spatial solutions to complex social, economic, and political problems.

AbstractThis article analyses Venezuelan antipoverty programmes under the presidency of Hugo Chávez, the leader of the ‘Bolivarian Revolution’ (1998–present). Support for poor people has become the government's trademark since the creation in 2002–03 of a series of emergency social programmes, the Missions. These programmes attend to the basic needs of low-income individuals in terms of nutrition, health and education. The Missions are characterised by a pattern of institutional bypassing which makes their long-term institutionalisation difficult. Do the Missions really introduce a break with previous social policies? To answer this question, we first analyse the evolution of the Venezuelan social state. Second, we review the development of the Missions, especially the MissionVuelvan Caras, nowChe Guevara, an active labour market programme. Third, we provide an assessment of the Social Missions and identify ruptures and continuities with past social assistance policies. The main contention is that the Missions exhibit a strong pattern of path dependency, despite the ideological and discursive ruptures that have attended the presidency of Hugo Chávez.

In this article the socioeconomic profile of the employed population in the informal sector of the municipality of Villavicencio (Colombia) is determined, and for this, the data obtained from the Great Integrated Household Survey GEIH (2015-2018) are used and a probit model is applied. It is concluded that being a woman, having a low level of education, earning low income, being single, working more hours per week, not having a work contract, not having a retiree plan, belonging to the subsidized health regime, increase the probability of being in the informal labor market.

Significance In August, it asked the IMF for a USD1.75bn credit under the Extended Fund Facility. This will come on top of the USD504mn approved by the IMF for emergency financial assistance in May. Costa Rica's problems stem from a combination of long-term weaknesses and the short-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. Impacts The tourism sector will be slow to recover, further hurting the economy and the fiscal position. Insufficient support for the informal sector will leave much of the country’s workforce struggling. Poverty will probably increase as the government struggles to expand social programmes to protect low-income households.

Micro Insurance

Abstract Issue/problem It is recognized that is very important to have an instrument to mitigate risks and reduce the vulnerability of poor and low-income households, especially in disasters. Health risks are often identified by the poor people as the greatest and costliest risks they face. Millions of people worldwide fall into poverty as a result of excessive healthcare costs because the state doesn’t provide them health insurance. Health problems not only impact household budget, but also reduce the productivity and reduce the opportunity for growth. Therefore the reform of social systems poses a considerable challenge. Description In order to remedy the situation, global actors like World Health Organization (WHO, International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Bank (WB) advocate for a special category of insurance, health micro-insurance (HMI), as a medium term solution for health care financing, that tends to access equitable and quality health care. HMI was created to promote insurance coverage among economically vulnerable sections of society. It is one of the potential ways that might provides the protection of low-income people against specific perils in exchange for regular premium payment proportionate to the likelihood and cost of the risks involved. Results As a health care financing mechanism, HMI has a short history, but offers the following benefits: it can improve the access of certain vulnerable populations to healthcare, develop more suitable services, facilitate the participation of civil society and limit fraud, educate populations about social security. Lessons This instrument has not been conceptualized to compete or replace public social protection. Rather, it is most effective when embedded into a comprehensive social protection framework which includes informal, private and other risk management strategies of preventive measures, mitigation and suitable coping strategies. Key messages HMI can mitigate the risks of population and groups, ill health and provides hope that the poor will receive reliable and adequate access to affordable health care. HMI can be seen as a tool for better public health in vulnerable and poor communities.

Tax Regulation

The system of taxation of personal income in Ukraine does not allow fully implementing the principle of social justice, which is regulated by the Tax Code of Ukraine. This is because in many cases, the taxpayers’ solvency is not taken into account when setting tax rates. The Ukrainian legislation does not regulate the list of poor people, and there is no clear compensatory mechanism of assistance to these social groups. As a result, the number of poor people is growing and, therefore, the social tension is increasing in Ukraine. The article focuses on the poor performance of Ukraine in various indices of socio-economic development, which results in the growth of poor people. There was no clear legislation to classify the poor in Ukraine. A list of poor people is offered. The main directions of poverty reduction in European countries are analyzed. Attention is drawn to the poor status of poverty reduction in Ukraine through tax policies, due to the poor implementation of the Poverty Reduction Strategy by the executive authorities. The instruments of tax regulation of low-income population in EU countries are considered, the main ones being tax rebate (tax credit), tax exemption, non-taxable minimum, and reduced tax rate. The list of instruments for tax regulation of low-income population in EU countries and Ukraine is summarized. The progressive scale of taxation of personal income is substantiated. The list of poor people is generalized. A non-taxable minimum income indicator is proposed based on the indicator used to determine the limit for applying the tax social benefit. Given the experience of EU countries, the introduction of separate instruments for tax regulation of low-income groups in Ukraine is justified.
