“…As a result of UNDP's work, several researchers have started contributing to the measurement and estimation of multidimensional poverty (Chakravarty and D'Ambrosio 2006: Jayaraj and Subramanian 2010; Alkire and Foster 2011; Mishra and Ray 2013). The deprivation index is considered to be a tool to study the pattern and degree of socioeconomic disparities (Drukker et al, 2003;Sarkar et al, 2014). Deprivation can be associated with higher urbanization and inequality in a particular region as these factors are likely to increase family disruption, stress, societal crimes, and violence resulting in a breakdown of social cohesion.…”

“…More often, looking at the variation in deprivation over space or societal groups is a rst step in depicting the social or economic inequalities. The susceptibility in the process of development can be spatially explained by studying the patterns of deprivation in the sub-regions (Sarkar et al, 2014). It is obvious that the higher the deprivation and the inequality level within a society, the worse the quality of life of the population in the same society.…”

This paper uses the recent approach of multidimensional deprivation measures and their association with urbanization and inequality to have a comprehensive regional-level analysis of the living conditions in Manipur. The study is based on the simultaneous analysis of various rounds of the two data sets namely, the National Sample Survey (NSS) and the National Family Health Survey (NFHS), and conducted by using the decomposable deprivation measures both at the regional disaggregated level and across socio-economic groups. The results do not show a significant relationship between deprivation and inequality and poverty. In contrast to the traditional expectation of a higher concentration of deprived people in remote/rural areas, the Poisson Regression analysis observed a clear indication of a higher concentration of deprived population in the urban areas. A higher prevalence of female-headed deprived households is also observed in the study. The Imphal-West district replaced Tamenglong in 2015-16 to be the most deprived district in Manipur. STs are found to be the most deprived category in the state in 2011-12 and is replaced by OBC in 2015-16. The factors like district, sector, education of the household head, and MPCE are significant (p = 000) in explaining the level of deprivation. However, the study does not get strong evidence for caste to impact the degree of deprivation in Manipur. Jel No: I30, I32, P36

Deprivation is a measure of relative disadvantage socially, economically, and politically that represent a clear picture of the ineffectiveness of various developmental policies leading to resource polarization in a particular sub-group of the population. It means the exclusion of a particular section of society or individuals from certain welfare enhancing facilities. In this paper, multidimensional deprivation in a North-Eastern state, Manipur and its change over time has been examined by using the most recent approach to find out its functional relation with relevant factors. The analysis is done by using different rounds of the two data sets namely, the National Sample Survey and the National Family Health Survey in India. Deprivation measures are decomposed both inter-regionally and across socio-economic groups. The findings of the study do not show any significant relation of deprivation with inequality and poverty. Unlike the traditional expectation of higher remote/rural concentration of deprived people, the poisson regression result points to a higher urban concentration of deprived people. Female-headed households are found to be more deprived. Regionally, the Imphal-West district overtook the Tamenglong District in 2015-16 and became the most deprived district in Manipur. Scheduled tribes (STs) are the most deprived social category in 2011-12 and other backward community (OBC) overtook them in 2015-16. The factors like district (spatial variation), sector, education of the head of household, and Monthly Per Capita Consumer Expenditure have significant impact on deprivation level in Manipur.

“…In addition, another factor that prevents households from escaping the poverty trap is socioeconomic deprivation. This is defined as the lack of social and economic benefits that are considered basic necessities of a society or community or in a broader sense of a region (Sarkar et al, 2014: 272–273). Accordingly, the Human Development Report (HDR) (2000) states that human poverty is a major obstacle to attaining a decent standard of living and realising human rights (HDR, 2000: 33).…”

Human Development and Food Sovereignty: A Step Closer to Achieving Food Security in South Africa’s Rural Households

Food security strategies are determined by the prevailing realities within households and communities. Therefore, it is not surprising that in South Africa agricultural transformation is an important food security strategy. This article examines the role of human development and food sovereignty in fostering conditions that enable rural households to enhance their food security capabilities. Using an in-depth analysis of literature, national, regional and international instruments, this article takes its departure from the fact that subsistence agriculture is an effective strategy for improving household food needs when implemented within the broader human rights framework of human development. The results reveal that agriculture has the potential to increase household food security if appropriate agricultural technologies and productive resources such as land are made accessible to households. Further, for agriculture to attain optimal efficiency as a food security strategy, policies on agrarian transformation should be implemented within broader social development programmes.
