“…(2) There is a positive and significant correlation between indicators related to the increase in poverty (VPR and VPG) and that related to the increase in rural population (VRP). This type of relationship has been previously described in other studies carried out in depressed territories, where the population finally migrates to escape poverty [89][90][91][92][93]. (3) Demographic characteristics are correlated between them.…”

The relationship between the forest sector and the well-being of people that depend on it for their economic livelihoods in rural areas is of strong interest in forest policy. In this sense, Chile has developed a forest policy that has had positive impacts, particularly on economic and productive aspects, but also negative impacts, such as the reduction of natural forest area, biodiversity, and provision of ecosystem services, as well as the increase in social conflicts and land abandonment. However, there are few studies that have evaluated the impacts of forest policy on rural population and development of the territory. Therefore, the objective of this research is to evaluate the impacts of Chilean forest policy on rural communities, particularly in terms of demographic variables and indicators of community well-being. The study area corresponds to the Bio Bio and Ñuble Regions (Chile), and the analysis includes productive, demographic, socioeconomic, and educational characteristics of population. The results show that the forestry policy implemented was able to generate a significant increase in the proportion of forest area. However, when this increase is mainly of the type of exotic forest plantations, it is associated with a demographic and socio-economic detriment of the population in some counties of the study area.

“…This study employs Indonesian household survey data taken from The National Social and Economic Survey (Susenas) 2017 conducted by the Central Bureau of Statistics of Indonesia (Badan Pusat Statistik). Susenas is a large-scale nation-wide cross sectional representative survey capturing the conditions of the social economy in all regions within Indonesia (Pratomo, 2018). Susenas data consists of approximately 300,000 households spread out across all 34 provinces and 514 cities and regencies in both rural and urban areas within Indonesia (Badan Pusat Statistik, 2017).…”

This study's contribution to literature is presenting empirical evidence on the impact of financial inclusion, meaning elimination of barriers to accessing financial services, on poverty at the household level in developing countries, using Indonesia as a case study. This is a significant problem for developing countries such as Indonesia, which faces high poverty, even though it has achieved rapid financial development. Using the Binary Logistic (Logit) model and data from approximately 300,000 households from the 2017 Indonesian National Social and Economic Survey (Susenas), this research reveals that financial inclusion decreases households' probability of absolute poverty. Furthermore, financial inclusion can compensate for a lack of assets, a limited number of non-agriculture occupational opportunities in rural areas, and low education levels of household heads. In addition, financial inclusion has the potential to reduce incentives for poor, low-skilled rural people to migrate to urban areas in search of non-agricultural employment opportunities. Policy recommendations based on the results found are twofold. First, for people who are vulnerable to poverty, financial inclusion should be enhanced, especially for poor women-headed farming households in rural areas. Second, for policy-makers concerned with urbanization of low-skilled poor migrants, enhancing financial inclusion in rural areas is needed to help reduce urbanization pressures.

Poverty is a critical social problem in numerous countries. It is a result of many aspects and has been addressed worldwide for a long time. In this study, we construct the multidimensional poverty index (MPI) for migrant workers in China based on Amartya Sen’s capabilities approach. Using the Chinese Family Panel Studies (CFPS) data during 2014–2020 and the Alkire–Foster methodology, our study examines the multidimensional poverty of migrant workers using static to dynamic analyses. The results show the following: (1) The multidimensional poverty of migrant workers shows a general decreasing trend over time. (2) Over one third of migrant workers are in severe multidimensional poverty. (3) The in-work poverty of migrant workers is serious, which is reflected in the indicators of employment security, housing provident fund, labor contract, and labor union. (4) Approximately 30% of migrant workers’ multidimensional poverty is persistent. It is difficult for them to rid themselves of persistent poverty by their own effort. This study suggests that the government should pay more attention to poverty reduction and capability improvement for migrant workers.
