“…Azeem et al compared the ex-post poverty and the ex-ante vulnerability to poverty of households and considered that most vulnerable households could be accurately identified through ex-ante measures of vulnerability to poverty [29]. Omotoso et al focused on the issue of child poverty and believed that vulnerable "non-poverty-stricken" children were more vulnerable to poverty than children living in chronic poverty [30].…”

The COVID−19 pandemic has significantly impacted the economy and livelihoods of people worldwide. To analyze the impact of the pandemic on material conditions, income levels, health conditions, industrial development and employment opportunities of farmers in China’s rural areas, especially poor areas and explore whether farmers can achieve stable poverty eradication during the COVID−19 pandemic, we interviewed 2662 farm households in poverty−stricken areas of China and used the multidimensional poverty measurement model, three−step feasible generalized least squares and propensity score matching to analyze data. We achieved the following results. First, the overall level of multidimensional poverty vulnerability index (MPVI) of the surveyed households was low and the MPVI of each dimension varied significantly. The MPVI of households in the treated group was higher than that of the control group. Second, COVID−19 increased farm households’ vulnerability to multidimensional poverty in poverty−stricken regions; MPVI increased by 27.9%. Third, COVID−19′s impact on various dimensions differed: the greatest impact was on the vulnerability to health deprivation, followed by industrial development, employment and income deprivation. However, the pandemic slightly reduced the vulnerability to material deprivation. Finally, we proposed various measures in response to the impact of the pandemic to assist farm households in poverty−stricken areas.

“…The empirical literature on poverty analysis has shown that determinants of vulnerability to poverty are country specific (Haughton and Khandker 2009 ). Hence, this necessitates an analysis of the education and vulnerability to poverty nexus in South Africa (Omotoso et al 2020 ). However, regardless of the type of approaches used the nexus remains negative.…”

This study examines the relationship between education and poverty vulnerability in South Africa by using the disaggregated approach. The study uses the National Income Dynamics Study dataset captured from 2008 to 2017 of a balanced panel consisting of 10,800 South African households. We applied batteries of econometric techniques. The results reveal a significant negative relationship between education and vulnerability to poverty especially to those whose future consumption lies below the food poverty line. Therefore, policymakers should use education as a tool to reduce poverty vulnerability by increasing its quality so that students can compete fairly in the global labor market.
