“…The average value of remittances per household was around R$65 (approximately 2005 US$24) for the 12 months prior to the interview 10. This underestimates the importance of family transfers in the study area, as much of the support between family members takes the form of help with labor, food, medicine, or clothing (Guedes et al 2009b). Because, however, this study focuses on the financial ability of transfers to overcome credit constraints, we exclude these other types of transfers in our analyses.…”

Out-migration and land-use change in agricultural frontiers: insights from Altamira settlement project

2011

One of Daniel Hogan’s lasting impacts on international demography community comes through his advocacy for studying bidirectional relationships between environment and demography, particularly migration. We build on his holistic approach to mobility and examine dynamic changes in land use and migration among small farm families in Altamira, Pará, Brazil. We find that prior area in either pasture or perennials promotes out-migration of adult children, but that out-migration is not directly associated with land-use change. In contrast to early formulations of household life cycle models that argued that aging parents would decrease productive land use as children left the farm, we find no effect of out-migration of adult children on land-use change. Instead, remittances facilitate increases in area in perennials, a slower to pay off investment that requires scarce capital, but in pasture. While remittances are rare, they appear to permit sound investments in the rural milieu and thus to slow rural exodus and the potential consolidation of land into large holdings. We would do well to promote the conditions that allow them to be sent and to be used productively to keep families on the land to avoid the specter of extensive deforestation for pasture followed by land consolidation.

In this paper the theoretical tradition of coping strategies and capital portfolios is used as the basis for adaption and combination of existing methodologies to analyze well-being in rural households. Special attention is given to comparisons among different contexts. First we estimate a multidimensional measurement of poverty based on fuzzy logic for two areas of rural frontiers: Nang Rong, Thailand, and Altamira, in the Amazon Basin in Brazil. To enable a cross-contextual comparison we calculated a second estimate using a subset of shared measurements in the two areas. The findings suggest that the pattern of responses on a range of numerous key variables -including education, income and demographic dependency ratio -is robust for the model specification. It is concluded that comparative generalizations, useful in formulating cost-effective public policy interventions across contexts, could be satisfactorily identified in many situations. More generically, this approach provides researchers and policymakers with a framework for understanding the interaction of contexts with the subjective construction of well-being. The understanding of this interaction is useful for distinguishing stable corollaries of poverty from those that are volatile across contexts. IntroductionThe concept of poverty has received renewed theoretical attention and revision in recent years (SEN;1985, 1999KAKWANI;SILBER, 2008a;ALKIRE, 2007). The result has been the emergence of a large literature seeking to identify specific dimensions of poverty that are argued to better capture the complex paths to well-being than existing unidimensional measures of monetary income (BIBI;2005). However, the literature on Multidimensional Poverty (MDP) presently does a poor job of acknowledging the new challenges that highinformation measures of MDP present to comparative cross-contextual studies of MDP. Using these more refined and data-intensive measures has the potential to reduce the ability to assess and compare poverty across contexts for reasons that range from mundane but important restrictions imposed by data collection and the use of secondary data sources to significant questions about the meaning, relevance, and significance of various dimensions to the overall assessment of poverty across contexts.Methodologically, differences across the data sets used in studies of MDP -in data collection strategy, rigor, and substantive purpose -create a host of challenges, some of which are error-related, and others of which take on theoretical importance. Based informally upon our own experience in attempting to construct high-information MDP measures for comparative work, the relationship between the number of indicators used in an MDP measure and the availability of that measure (or taking it to the next level, of any measures of a given dimension) in all study areas is a negative one. In short, the likelihood that all relevant measures exist across all comparison contexts is low, and any success in obtaining such a match is due mostly to good fortun...

“…A aplicação empírica do GoM na área das ciências sociais tem-se resumido à construção de perfis e análise de prevalências. Alguns estudos recentes avançaram utilizando o método para definição de hierarquias (GARCIA et al, 2007; GUEDES et al, 2009a, bcd). O modelo GoM, no entanto, ainda possui potenciais inexplorados nas áreas de ciências sociais aplicadas, como a análise de prognósticos (MANTON et al, 1994).…”

“…O método GoM vem sendo amplamente utilizado na demografia latino-americana, em especial entre os demógrafos brasileiros (SAWYER et al, 2002; DRUMOND et al, 2007; MELO, 2007; ALVES et al, 2008; GUEDES et al, 2009a, 2009bc, 2009c). Os trabalhos que utilizam o GoM têm em comum contextos em que encontrar estruturas implícitas nos dados é essencial, ou seja, estruturas que revelem os padrões de ocorrências conjuntas de valores específicos de variáveis – grupamentos (MIRANDA-RIBEIRO et al, 2007; GUIMARÃES et al, 2008).…”

O método Grade of Membership (GoM) tem sido cada vez mais utilizado por demógrafos brasileiros e tem a vantagem de possuir um parâmetro que mensura a heterogeneidade individual, com base nas correlações não-observáveis entre as categorias de resposta das variáveis de interesse, gerando um medida do grau de pertencimento de cada indivíduo a perfis extremos. Alguns autores, contudo, chamam atenção para questões importantes na calibragem dos modelos finais que utilizam o programa GoM versão 3.4, como o problema de identificabilidade – soluções múltiplas para parâmetros estimados. Neste artigo, é sugerido um procedimento capaz de identificar um modelo final com solução única que descreva os tipos puros mais fidedignos à base de dados, em uma tentativa de otimização. Para ilustrar esse processo, utilizou-se uma base de dados correspondente a um levantamento econômico e sociodemográfico de uma população de pequenos agricultores residentes ao longo da Rodovia Transamazônica, no Estado do Pará. Também identificou-se a existência de instabilidade nos parâmetros estimados pelo programa GoM 3.4, sendo proposto um método de estabilização de seus valores. Com esses procedimentos combinados, os usuários do programa GoM 3.4 poderão descrever sua base de dados de forma mais adequada e responder às críticas sobre questões de identificabilidade e estabilidade dos modelos resultantes. Essas soluções empíricas são relevantes por afetarem cálculos de prevalência e de incidência de eventos de interesse, além de trazerem consequências importantes sobre o ponto e o momento corretos para intervenções de políticas públicas ou de planejamento prospectivo em análises de projeção.
