“…In the past, this disease was most prevalent among older females, but recent research in the country shows that 13.7% of 15–19-year-olds and 12.5% of 20–24-year-olds have been diagnosed [ 24 , 25 ]. This is most concerning since hypertension is a chronic disease which requires management through the use of medication, diet, and stress control, all of which have monetary implications which adolescents and young adults cannot afford [ 26 ].…”

Hypertension and intimate partner violence is affecting longevity and quality of life among women worldwide. In this study, intimate partner violence is identified as a risk factor for hypertension outcomes among young women in South Africa. Using a nationally representative sample of 216 (N) young women (15–34 years old) from the South African Demographic and Health Survey, this study uses cross-tabulations and logistic regression methods to identify the odds of hypertension outcomes. Results show that between 20 and 41% of 15–34-year-old women have hypertension. Further, 68% of women with hypertension experienced physical intimate partner violence. Finally, the odds of hypertension are increased if young women experience physical (OR: 4.07; CI: 1.04726–15.82438) or sexual (OR: 2.56; CI: 1.18198–5.55834) intimate partner violence. Efforts to reduce hypertension outcomes in the country should include intimate partner violence awareness and assistance.

“…A variety of statistical techniques have been developed to measure the extent of poverty/multidimensional poverty amongst a population. The most adopted approaches in South Africa are the Totally fuzzy, Factor analysis, Multiple correspondence, and the Principal components analysis (Fransman and Yu 2019). Prior to the formation of these statistical techniques, previous techniques only measured poverty based on money-metric approaches and ignored non-money metric concerns such as housing, education, and health (Fransman and Yu 2019).…”

“…The MPI is used in assessing the 'simultaneous and joint deprivation' amongst the poor, or a specific household's plight, using a specific set of parameters as a poverty indicator (Fransman and Yu 2019). Further, the MPI evaluates poverty through poverty intensity as well as poverty incidence.…”

Crafting an Endogenous Developmental Pathway for the Mgobodzi Community, South Africa

The Mgobodzi community of the Nkomazi Municipality is perceived as one of the most poverty-stricken and under-developed communities in South Africa. As an agendum to alleviating poverty, the government has employed a variety of developmental initiatives to accelerate development within this community. Despite the enormous investments and concentrated developmental interventions, little improvement has been noticed in regard to the state of poverty within this community as compared to the situation prior the kick-starting of these governmental interventions. In consonance, this study aims to propose an alternative developmental trajectory for this community through the ‘Endogenous growth theory’. The novelty of this research lies in its plausibility and dependence on insights from experienced rural development stakeholders, alongside beneficiaries of this community. The study found that the current rural development trajectory lacks crucial insights into the fundamental demands of this deprived community. The time of realism has set in for stakeholders to make more proactive interventions in addressing the awful specter of under-development and poverty epitomised amongst this community. Such realism is advocated in this research through the ‘conceptualisation of the endogenous growth theory’.

Highlighting the nexus between poverty and environment is essential to promote poverty alleviation and sustainable development. This study analyzed spatial differences and environmental factors influencing poverty incidence and reduction using spatial statistical methods and GeoDetector tools. It focused on Lijiang in the Hengduan Mountains of western China as the case area. The results indicate a notable decline in poverty incidence in most Lijiang villages during 2014–2018 under China’s poverty alleviation strategy. However, there are distinct spatial differences for both poverty incidence and reduction. The main environmental factors affecting poverty incidence and reduction are available water storage and geological hazard risks. Socioeconomic factors such as administrative unit and distance to city center also play a key role. The anti-poverty policies in various administrative units have the most significant influence. However, existing policy formulation mainly considers elevation factor in mountainous areas. This study suggests that water resources and geological hazards should also be highly considered, and not only elevation. It is imperative to promote the construction of water conservancy facilities and improve the prevention and control of geological disasters. Moreover, targeted poverty alleviation should focus on, not only policy or socioeconomic factors, but also main environmental factors affecting poverty incidence and reduction.
