“…In the developed world, relative income poverty lines are more often used to calculate poverty levels. 2 The idea that individuals are poor if they have insufficient income to purchase some "objective" minimum bundle of goods has a long history. In 1901, Rowntree classified families as poor if "their total earning is insufficient to obtain the minimum necessities for the maintenance of merely physical efficiency."…”

“…Social and economic determinants of health, therefore, are playing a greater part in the discourse of poverty. 2 Poverty is an important determinant of women's health and has a significant impact on the physical and mental well-being of older women. Women constitute around 70 % of the world's poor and in all regions earn significantly less than men.…”

“…However, those impacts will be experienced most by the most vulnerable, thus further widening the gap between rich and poor nations and rich and poor people. This has important implications for addressing the challenges of the Anthropocene and at the same time the challenges of poverty eradication, by which I mean the eradication of absolute poverty, the lack of "the set of resources a person must acquire to maintain a minimum standard of living for survival" [35].…”

Beyond Science and Technology: Creating Planetary Health Needs Not Just ‘Head Stuff’, but Social Engagement and ‘Heart, Gut and Spirit’ Stuff

I have been involved in studying and working within what is now called the Anthropocene for almost 50 years, and in all that time, not only have we failed to make much progress, but the state of the Earth’s ecosystems has generally worsened. Yet somehow we must create a world in which everyone on Earth has good health and a good quality of life—a matter of social justice—while living within the physical and ecological constraints of the one small planet that is our home; this is the focus of the new field of planetary health. Our worsening situation is not due to lack of knowledge, science and technology; in broad terms, we knew most of the challenges and many of the needed solutions back in the 1970s. Instead, the challenges we face are social, rooted in cultural values, political ideologies, legal and economic systems, ethical principles and spiritual/religious beliefs. Therefore, we have to move beyond science and technology and address these broader socio-cultural issues by engaging in economic, legal and political work, complementing and supplementing ‘head stuff’ with ‘heart, gut and spirit stuff’, and working from the grass roots up.

“…For instance, poverty is considered as an inadequacy of financial resources or low level of income by a household, or group of people, or individual to meet basic needs of life (Dasgupta, 1982;and Mowafi& Khawaja, 2005). This definition can be linked to poverty line where it can either be relative or absolute.…”

Poverty reduction is one of the greatest challenges facing international community and it is an invaluable requirement for sustainable development. This study was conducted to empirically examine the influence of socioeconomic as well as demographic variables on households' vulnerability to social exclusion or deprivation with more emphasis on gender inequality. The study employed binary probit regression analysis of poverty as well as Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition to examine factors responsible for inequality with respect to socio-economic fortunes among Nigerian households. Evidence from the study revealed that socio-demographic variables as well as labor characteristics are strong determinants of poverty in the country, and the findings confirmed to the theoretical propositions on causes of poverty. However, empirical results from the Oaxaca-Blinder decomposition show that female headed households are more disadvantaged in terms of socioeconomic deprivation than the male headed households. The study concluded by presenting concluding remarks and policy implications for policymakers toward poverty reduction in Nigeria.
