“…Findings from multivariate analyses are inconsistent, and including both associations (Savarimuthu et al, 2009) and no association (Gausia et al, 2009). Low or no educational opportunity is associated with poverty in early life, creating a pathway of intergenerational transmission of poverty (Harper et al, 2003;Moore, 2001). We know, for example, that female education is strongly associated with fertility, and higher levels of unwanted fertility are associated with poorer mental health outcomes for women, including suicide (Brockington, 2001).…”

Poverty and postnatal depression: a systematic mapping of the evidence from low and lower middle income countries

This study systematically maps, assesses and aggregates research relating to postnatal depression (PND) and poverty in low and lower middle income countries (LLMICs). Our search of 12 databases yielded 2,202 articles, of which 47 items from 17 countries were included in our mapping. We highlight mechanisms for the relationships between poverty and PND in LLMICs. The research base on the relationships between poverty and PND in LLMIC is limited, but has recently expanded. It is dominated by studies that consider whether poverty is a risk factor for PND. Income, socio-economic status and education are all inconsistent risk factors for PND. Clues to better ways of framing and capturing economic stress in PND research is found in the qualitative studies included in our mapping. Evidence focuses overwhelmingly on individual-level analyses. To understand the scale and implications of PND in LLMICs, research has to take account of neighbourhoods, communities, and localities.

“…Studies of intergenerational transmissions of poverty distinguish between factors operating at different levels, such as individual-and community-level factors (Engle, 2012), householdlevel and extra-household-level factors (Bird, 2007) or private and public transmissions (Harper et al, 2003). We apply the categorisation of individualistic and structural factors (Qi and Wu, 2016) in explaining overlap or mismatch of monetary and multidimensional child poverty, while recognising that in practice these factors are often so interlinked that they do not form distinct processes per se (Engle, 2012;Harper et al, 2003).…”

An expanding evidence base suggests that children experiencing monetary and multidimensional poverty are not the same. This article breaks new ground by providing a unique mixed methods investigation of drivers of child poverty mismatch in Ethiopia and Vietnam, considering the role of measurement error and individualistic and structural factors. The analysis capitalises on large-scale secondary quantitative panel data and combines this with purposively collected primary qualitative data in both countries. It finds that factors at the household and structural level can mediate the effects of monetary poverty in terms of multidimensional poverty and vice versa, but that the size and sign of these effects are specific to place and time. The policy mix aiming to reduce all forms of child poverty need to be targeted on the basis of a multidimensional assessment of poverty and reflect the complex and contextspecific interactions between determinants of child poverty.Une base de données croissante suggère que les enfants qui connaissent une pauvreté monétaire sont différents de ceux qui connaissent une pauvreté multidimensionnelle. Cet article ouvre une nouvelle voie en fournissant une analyse unique sur les facteurs entrainant un déséquilibre de la pauvreté infantile en É thiopie et au Vietnam, en utilisant des méthodes mixtes et en considérant le rôle de l'erreur de mesure et des facteurs individualistes et structurels. L'analyse s'appuie sur des données d'un panel quantitatif secondaire à grande échelle et les combines avec des données qualitatives primaires recueillies délib-érément dans les deux pays. Elle constate que les facteurs au niveau des ménages et de la structure peuvent agir comme médiateurs des effets de la pauvreté monétaire en termes de pauvreté multidimensionnelle et vice et versa, mais que le taille et le signe de ces effets sont spécifiques au lieu et au temps. Le dosage des politiques visant à réduire toutes les formes de pauvreté infantile doit être ciblé sur la base d'une évaluation multidimensionnelle de la pauvreté et refléter les interactions complexes et contextuelles entre les déterminants de la pauvreté infantile.

“…It makes person conscious about their rights, responsibilities and obligations with respect to themselves, their family to society and largely to nation. Education, even at a basic level, is not only about livelihood and technical skills but more importantly provides social connectedness or aptitude which enables one to access key resources to alleviate poverty [10]. The basic education in almost compulsory irrespective of gender in our country.…”

Dropout from school impedes development as it imposes human creativity and potentiality. It is the root of all backwardness. Rural communities are more backward particularly in Bangladesh, where the dropout rate is high. Parental decision to drop out their child from primary education does not depend upon gender but depend upon their economic status. Poverty influences the parents to withdraw their children from school. Studies on dropout in primary level, particularly Bangladesh, are inadequate however. The results of the study further suggest that girls were more likely to be out of school compared to their peer boys counterparts, indicating gender disparity in formal education. Results of the multivariate analysis reveal that individual as well as household level attributes are important determinants of school dropout. Age, sex, parent`s education and occupation, residence and land ownership pattern were found to be highly significant predictors in determining dropping out from school among the rural children of Bangladesh.
