“…In summary, good academic backgrounds are essential to escape poverty (Giovetti & McConville, 2020;Awan et al, 2011). Women related to FFES are usually associated with full-time housewives and are entirely dependent on their husbands for their livelihood (Bahtiar et al, 2021;Wei et al, 2021;Wahab et al, 2018;Islam, 2008), and half of the rural women did not belong to a cooperative society (Mukaila et al, 2022). The high majority (95.4%) of the MORW in the B40 group of household income category have a mean household income of RM1857.20 (SD= RM1761.73) (Table 02).…”

“…According to Thandar et al (2020), women usually participate in agriculture activities and the formal and informal sectors. However, their roles are often ignored and undervalued, and they are mainly not employed and work for free because they depend on their husband for a living (Wahab et al, 2018;Yeo, 2007). Consequently, many women are poorer than men in fisheries society (Siason et al, 2002).…”

This paper mainly aims to predict socioeconomic indicators of matured and older rural women (MORW) (≥40 years old) in Kuala Krai, Kelantan, from the B40 household income category. The respondents were involved in three types of value-chain activities in the freshwater fisheries economic sector (type of FFES) -trader, processor, and operator. The data consist of n=223 and 31.39 percent MORW respondents in the B40 household income category. Among MORW respondents, the mean age=52.57 years old (SD=8.153 years old). The highest distribution rate among females is trader type of FFES (29.46%), and the highest distribution rate among male respondents is operator type of FFES (42.34%). Three significant (p<0.05) predictors were obtained -educational background, types of FFES, and marital status. The 'no schooling and primary school', married status, and trader type of FFES predict 6.431-time, 3.326-time, and explain less than 98.8 percent likelihood, respectively, of MORW in the B40 household income category. The predictors of MORW in the B40 household income category are 'no schooling and primary education', married, and trader type of FFES. In Kuala Krai, married and MORW in the B40 household income category must be given extra focus in the poverty eradication programs.

“…In Malaysia, rural elderly people are usually associated with poverty (Masud & Zainalaludin, 2018). Among the reasons are the retirement age (Mohd et al, 2017), rural women are usually housewives (Wahab et al, 2018;Islam, 2008), and women tend to get lower pay than men especially in masculine economic sector (Jajri, 2012;Klasen et al, 2011;Welnnerholm, 2002;Buvinic, 1997) during their productive age.…”

“…In masculine FAES, single mothers in freshwater community are usually old single mothers, thus they have less ability to work. Many rural single mothers are also highly dependent on their ex-husband through the alimony income (Wahab et al, 2018;Holvoet & Chiambeng, 2011). Therefore, they are highly vulnerable to poverty (Masud & Zainalaludin, 2018;McGuire, 2015).…”

This paper aimed to measure the vulnerability type that predicts the likelihood of the respondents in poor category of household income by sex-disaggregated data. The respondents were sampled in Peninsular Malaysia (n=322)). They suffer from at least one out of six types of vulnerability asked in the questionnaire. HO1 (no type of vulnerability predicts male in poor category of household income), and HO2 (no type of vulnerability predicts male in poor category of household income) were tested through Binary Logistic Regression (BLR) Model respectively and rejected. Both models were fit and significant (p<0.05) to predict the male and female respondents in poor category of household income. BLR Model 1 (male respondents) significantly predicted Handicapped Male and Single Father, with 3.60 times and less than 93.9 percent of the likelihood respectively for them to be in poor category of household income. For BLR Model 2 (female respondents), Single Mother and Handicapped Women predicted 16.15 times and 72.5 percent less of the likelihood respectively for them in the poor category of household income. This paper concludes the vulnerable women are poorer than the vulnerable men, and the handicapped men and single mothers are the poorest in freshwater fisheries communities.
