“…Una de las técnicas que más se ha empleado en este tipo de investigaciones es el uso de modelos de variable dependiente binaria, ya que permiten determinar la probabilidad de ser pobre y asociarla con la recepción de algún tipo de transferencia (Pfau y Long, 2010;Pfau y Giang, 2009;Murrugarra, 2002;McDade, 2010).…”

El objetivo de este artículo es analizar la evolución de los indicadores de pobreza en hogares receptores de transferencias privadas (remesas internacionales) y en aquellos beneficiados por transferencias públicas (Prospera/ oportunidades) para el periodo 2010-2016 e identificar cuál de estos grupos ha tenido mejor desempeño en esos indicadores para dicho tiempo. Se empleó un análisis estadístico descriptivo con información del MCS-ENIGH. Los resultados muestran una disminución mayor en los índices de pobreza en los hogares que reciben transferencias privadas en comparación con aquellos que reciben beneficios públicos en todos los años de estudio. Asimismo, los hallazgos evidenciaron un comportamiento diferenciado por tipo de transferencias en los índices de pobreza entre los sectores urbano y rural; siendo este último el más beneficiado.

“…Other studies focused more on consumption expenditures such as Runsinarith (2012); Priebe (2017); Long & Pfau (2009a); Long & Pfau (2009b); Pfau & Long (2010), who conceptualized old age poverty using Village Poverty Line and per capita expenditure. The village poverty line interprets consumption based on per capita expenditure on food and non-food consumption which is based on the formula proposed by (Foster et al, 1984).…”

Poverty eradication remains a top priority for policymakers around the world. At the same time, population aging trends indicate a strong need to understand and address poverty in later life. While there is a lot of literature on poverty, there is not much on old-age poverty. The goal of this review is to outline current empirical research on old-age poverty, identify knowledge gaps, and make recommendations for future research. Comparison analysis had been done among ten countries in ASEAN members. The findings reveal most of the old age poverty is female. While health issues are the paramount factor that affected old-age poverty. Moreover, social pension schemes and financial assistance are crucial in eradicating old-age poverty. The results of this study have implications for understanding old-age poverty in ASEAN member countries from a profile of old-age poverty, factors that influence old-age poverty, and viable eradication policies and programs in developing countries worldwide.

“…Rural–urban migration is accompanied by a significant increase in remittances from urban to rural places, thereby contributing to improving the living standards and alleviating the poverty of left‐behind family members (Duong et al. 2011; Pfau and Giang 2010; Nguyen 2009). Like in other developing countries, seasonal migration in Vietnam also plays a significant role in reducing the poverty rate (De Brauw and Harigaya 2007; Nguyen et al.…”

In this paper, we provide the first household‐level empirical multievent study of temporary internal migration as a consequence of tropical storms. In order to do, so we combine three waves of the Vietnam Household Living Standard Survey with geo‐referenced tropical cyclone data from the Best Track Archive for Climate Stewardship. Based on the resulting panel dataset, we study temporary emigration patterns evolving in the aftermath of occurring storms in the sample communes. We find robust empirical evidence in favor of a significant push effect on temporary migration. Occurring storms increase the likelihood that a household sends members to other regions in Vietnam. Storms also tend to increase the number of absent household members and absence time. Moreover, we show that occurring storms increase both seasonal and long‐term absences.
