Determinanats of Poverty in agro-pastoral Household
Full text linkAbstract
Poverty is a complex, interlocked and multidimensional phenomenon. The notion of poverty is used to refer to a wide-ranging set of interrelated life chances valued differently in the world's diverse cultures. The lack of awareness and inadequate understanding of the agro-pastoral way of life among the policymakers has led to the exclusion of their particular issues from policy development. Policymakers in the past were favouring crop farming. Such perceptions are generally ill-suited to the comparative advantages of the pastoral areas and their way of life. Consequently, Somalia agro-pastoralist has experienced decades of deterrent policies and socio-political exclusion agro-pastoralist development is vital for the sustainable growth of the Somalia economy. Sustainable poverty reduction in these areas requires long-term, holistic and integrated development interventions that necessitate the communities' genuine participation and empowerment. This research is conducted in Lower Shabelle, Somalia, with specific objectives of estimating the magnitude of poverty and identifying determinants of household poverty. The study employs both primary and secondary data. A total of 160 randomly selected household heads are interviewed in person through a semi-structured questionnaire.
The data collected is analysed utilising descriptive statistics such as mean, standard deviation, and percentage. On the other hand, t and chi-square tests are used to compare poor and non-poor sample groups with respect to the explanatory variable. Besides logit regression model is also employed to identify the determinants of poverty in the Lower Shabelle. Moreover, the FGT poverty index is used to examine the extent and severity of rural poverty.
The binary logit model estimation has also identified that a total of six variables out of the eleven variables entered in the model are found to be statistically significant.
These variables include family size, livestock ownership, farm size, dependency ratio, nonfarm income, sex, age. The study shows a severe problem of poverty in the Lower Shabelle. Therefore, to mitigate this problem and improve the well-being of rural households in the study area, some of the actions to be taken should include limiting family size and creating alternative livelihood opportunities other than just agriculture
