“…The mean household income of female respondents = RM927.70 (USD224) (SD=RM614.25 (USD148)) which was lower than the mean household income of the male respondents = RM1059.39 (USD255.37), SD=RM605.01 (USD145.84) (Table 03). These findings are supported by many studies that rural women are poorer than rural men (Zain et al, 2018;DOSM, 2017;HLPE, 2014;Zainalaludin, 2010). The mean household income for both male and female respondents in this study was lower than Malaysia PLI (2019) which was RM2208, (USD532.34) per month.…”

This paper aimed to measure the vulnerability type that predicts the likelihood of the respondents in poor category of household income by sex-disaggregated data. The respondents were sampled in Peninsular Malaysia (n=322)). They suffer from at least one out of six types of vulnerability asked in the questionnaire. HO1 (no type of vulnerability predicts male in poor category of household income), and HO2 (no type of vulnerability predicts male in poor category of household income) were tested through Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) Model respectively and rejected. Both models were fit and significant (p<0.05) to predict the male and female respondents in poor category of household income. BLR Model 1 (male respondents) significantly predicted Handicapped Male and Single Father, with 3.60 times and less than 93.9 percent of the likelihood respectively for them to be in poor category of household income. For BLR Model 2 (female respondents), Single Mother and Handicapped Women predicted 16.15 times and 72.5 percent less of the likelihood respectively for them in the poor category of household income. This paper concludes the vulnerable women are poorer than the vulnerable men, and the handicapped men and single mothers are the poorest in freshwater fisheries communities.

“…Hal ini disebabkan oleh tanggapan mereka bahawa pendidikan tidak menjadi begitu penting, selain daripada keadaan prasarana yang tidak lengkap telah mendorong mereka untuk terus memilih bekerja sebagai nelayan berbanding melanjutkan pendidikan. Kajian Zain et al (2018) juga mendapati bahawa faktor utama komuniti nelayan tidak melanjutkan pendidikan adalah disebabkan oleh ekonomi keluarga yang rendah. Tambahan pula, ibu bapa terpaksa memanfaatkan tenaga anak-anak mereka untuk membantu meningkatkan pendapatan dan mengurangkan beban keluarga.…”

“…Bagi mereka yang mempunyai pendidikan hingga tahap persekolahan menengah, adalah sukar untuk mereka mendapatkan tempat dalam pekerjaan profesional. Selain itu, beberapa faktor lain seperti masalah yuran sekolah (Zain et al, 2018) dan kesedaran terhadap kepentingan pendidikan (Zebua et al, 2017) mempunyai pertalian dengan faktor kemiskinan komuniti nelayan di Tanjung Dawai. Oleh yang demikian, mereka lebih cenderung untuk melibatkan diri dalam pekerjaan dan kurang berminat untuk mencapai kemahiran akademik.…”

Kemiskinan sering kali berlaku terutama kepada mereka yang tinggal di kawasan luar bandar meskipun terdapat pelbagai bantuan yang telah disalurkan oleh pihak kerajaan. Hal ini turut berlaku kepada komuniti nelayan luar bandar yang tinggal di Tanjung Dawai, Kedah. Isu kemiskinan ini secara tidak langsung telah membawa kepada pelbagai cabaran hidup yang kompleks dalam kalangan komuniti nelayan tersebut. Oleh itu, objektif kajian ini adalah untuk meneroka cabaran hidup miskin yang dialami oleh komuniti nelayan di Tanjung Dawai. Kajian ini menggunakan kaedah kualitatif melalui temu bual mendalam yang melibatkan seramai 15 informan dalam kalangan ketua isi rumah nelayan yang dipilih secara rawak. Lokasi kajian telah dijalankan di Kampung Nelayan. Data daripada temu bual mendalam telah dianalisis dengan menggunakan analisis kandungan. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa komuniti nelayan mempunyai lima cabaran hidup miskin iaitu kesukaran menampung perbelanjaan harian, kesukaran melanjutkan pendidikan, kesukaran memiliki aset, keperluan melakukan pekerjaan sampingan dan ancaman gejala sosial. Kajian ini berupaya memberikan gambaran yang lebih jelas agar pihak berkepentingan lebih memahami cabaran hidup miskin yang berlaku dalam kalangan komuniti nelayan, seterusnya dapat merangka strategi yang holistik untuk pembangunan sosioekonomi mereka. Hal ini selari dengan agenda Matlamat Pembangunan Lestari (SDG) yang meletakkan elemen "No poverty" sebagai sasaran pertama yang perlu dilakukan oleh setiap negara bagi mengurangkan kadar kemiskinan dalam kalangan masyarakatnya.

Fishing is categorized as a low-income economic sector, especially in developing countries. The amount of fish disembarkation is highly seasonal, and the price is fluctuating, mostly due to fish migration, wind direction, involvement of commercialized fishing cartels, government interventions, and others. Most hardcore fishermen depend solely on their catch to support their families, thus, contributing to the instability of their monthly income. This situation makes fishermen as those living under the poverty line. It is a rare occasion when fishermen are also involved in entrepreneurial activities. Therefore, this study is proposed to identify the challenges that hinder fishermen from getting involved in entrepreneurship activities, which can improve their standard of living. It is also meant to recognize and leverage the potentials that fishermen possess so that they can be groomed to be successful entrepreneurs in the future. Data for this study were collected through interviews with the Chairman of the Fishermen Association and selected fishermen and fisherpreneurs in Terengganu, Malaysia. Studying them in detail using a qualitative (interview) approach allows the development of a practical business model that can help fishermen enhance their standard of living. The study is also expected to be regarded as a starting point for other future research efforts to help fishermen get involved in business ventures.
