“…The second concept reflects relative poverty, the essence of which is manifested in the fact that the category of the poor in a population includes those who cannot provide for themselves the standard of living prevailing in the territory of a particular country (Dunn, 2017). This deviation in the poverty assessment methodology is called deprivation; it characterizes the insufficiency of one's own resources to achieve the prevailing consumption standards in society and reflects the non-monetary parameters of household life (Bhuyan et al, 2020). The list of deprivations was determined by the originator of this approach, English scientist P. Townsend, in the 1970s (ReStore, 2021).…”

“…Poverty definition concepts and measurement tools are constantly being modified under the influence of economic, social, political, and institutional factors (Bhuyan et al, 2020). For example, the problem of poverty in Russia stands out with strong regional differentiation in scale and profile (Federal State Statistics Service, 2021).…”

“…When it comes to poverty, in most cases, it means daily malnutrition or, even worse, fasting, which threatens human life and health (Bhuyan et al, 2020), as well as the lack of funds for education and basic social services, which lead to a tendency toward a person's isolated lifestyle and social discrimination, etc. (Pascual-Sáez et al, 2019).…”

This study aims to econometrically assess multidimensional poverty in Russia with regard to the quantitative and qualitative parameters of the population’s life-sustaining activities. Russia’s partial integrated poverty indices were constructed based on a combination of quantitative and qualitative parameters characterizing the possibilities of satisfying needs in the main spheres/sectors of human values. The indicators that affect the poverty level in the country were determined using linear regression models. The available time lag in the regression models enabled us to make a short-term forecast of changes in the poverty level in Russia. The proposed approach to assessing the national poverty level considers monetary indicators related to the level of income of the population, the affordability of services necessary to meet human needs, and the presence of opportunity costs, which imply sacrificing a person's free time to ensure the material wellbeing necessary for life

“…Due to the substantial impact of street vending activities on the economy, some scholars in the Asian context such as India (Anjaria, 2006;Bhowmik & Saha, 2012;Bhuyan et al, 2020), Philippines (Recio & Gomez, 2013), Indonesia (Timothy & Wall, 1997), and in the African context such as South Africa (von Holy & Makhoane, 2006), Ghana (Asiedu & Agyei-Mensah, 2008), Malawi (Kayuni & Tambulasi, 2009), Kenya (Onyango et al, 2012) and Tanzania (Mramba et al, 2015) have drawn their attention on the various issues of street vendors and street vending business activities. However, studies on street vendors have often overlooked the challenges faced by street vendors.…”

Street vending has persisted for centuries and pervasive across the globe since it plays a remarkable role in fulfilling customer needs in the context of the informal economy. In the contemporary business context, authorities have not paid sufficient attention towards street vendors. The paper addresses the specific features of street vending in the context of Sri Lanka, various challenges faced by street vendors and possible courses of action for the empowerment of street vendors. Accordingly, location issue with lack of infrastructure, less support from the government, insecurity and unstable conditions, slow growth, lack of financing opportunities and less support from banks were identified as major challenges faced by street vendors in Sri Lanka. Proper location and infrastructure development, assurance of security including a specific insurance scheme and financial assistance are proposed to empower street vendors to enhance their performance.

Climate change and consequent variations in temperature pose a significant challenge for sustaining wheat production systems globally. In this study, the potential impact of rising temperature on wheat yield in the north Indian plains, India's major wheat growing region, was analyzed using panel data from the year 1981 to 2009. This study deviates from the majority of the previous studies by including non-climatic factors in estimating the impact of climate change. Two temperature measures were used for fitting the function, viz., Growing Season Temperature (GST) and Terminal Stage Temperature (TST), to find out the differential impact of increased temperature at various growth stages. Analysis revealed that there was a significant rise in both GST as well as TST during the study period. The magnitude of the annual increment in TST was twice that of GST. Wheat yield growth in the region was driven primarily by increased input resources such as fertilizer application and technological development like improved varieties and management practices. Most importantly, the study found that the extent of yield reduction was more significant for an increase in temperature at terminal crop growth stages. The yield reduction due to unit increase in TST was estimated to be 2.26 % while rise in GST by 1◦C resulted in yield reduction of 2.03%.
