Poverty dynamics in urban and rural households

Abstract

The author used discrete-time event history methods to study poverty and non-poverty survival time of urban and rural households. To analyse there were used nonparametric estimators of hazard function and logit models, which are discrete-time survival models. On the basis on conducted analysis it can be concluded that rural households survive shorter in non-poverty and simultaneously longer in poverty than urban households. Besides, urban households have more chance of poverty exit and less chance of poverty entry than rural households.

Spatial Differentiation of Poverty in Polish Voivodships

“…In turn, objective poverty is caused by rapid changes, such as those occurring on the job market. Other distributions of poverty -due to their duration -indicate temporary and longterm poverty (Topińska, 2008;SączewskaPiotrowska, 2016).…”

“…Changes in the level of poverty are often related to the regional or local dimensions or broken down by city and village (Quintano et al, 2007;Lehtonen and Veijanen, 2012;Panek and Zwierzchowski, 2013;Molina et al, 2014;Szymkowiak, 2014;Szymkowiak et al, 2015;SączewskaPiotrowska, 2016). We distinguish poverty and social exclusion related to rural, sparsely populated, peripheral areas with poor access to services of general interest from urban environments with high population density affected by structural changes in the economy.…”
