“…A binary probit assessment of the effects of attrition on the estimates from the data indicates that it is not significant for the current analysis (the results of the probit regression can be provided upon request from the authors). This matches many other similar studies that found evidence for no serious attrition bias in developing countries (Bhatta and Sharma, 2011;Falaris, 2003;Lohano, 2011). Thus, we made use of the balanced data over the three years.…”

“…Other studies from Nepal also confirmed this trend. Using the national representative household survey, Bhatta and Sharma (2011) found a decline in consumption poverty incidence between the years 1995/1996/2004, and Joshi et al (2012 report a substantial drop in income poverty incidence between the years 2004 and 2007 in far-western rural hills of Nepal. This increase in the number of non-poor was matched by a decrease in stochastic non-poor and stochastic poor households.…”

“…In Nepal, the gap between the wealthy and the poor is ever increasing and while living conditions in the cities have improved and the middle class is slowly growing, the poorest of the poor remain locked in dire conditions (Bhatta and Sharma 2006). The occasional stories of poor students from rural Nepal who receive scholarships to study abroad remain rare and few.…”

This paper reviews the findings of a participatory research project conducted with Nepali high school and university students. It examines the feelings and motivations of those students who leave the country in pursuit of higher education, and those who intentionally, or due to circumstances, stay in Nepal. An analysis of the latter is particularly important to the shifting discourse on higher education to the global South. This study promotes the inclusion of those students, and institutions, of higher education in developing nations who have been excluded from the discourse on globalization.

“…The choice of the variables follows those used by Bogale, Hagedorn and Korf (2005). Bhatta and Sharma (2006) also used the same variables when determining poverty in Nepal. Since the study is about quantifying the help of NGOs, the help of NGOs was added as a variable of interest.…”

Extended households, usually in the form of an elder or grandparent, have always provided a safety net for orphaned children. However, the high rates of HIV (AIDS) infection, unemployment and poverty have weakened their capacity to fulfil this vital role. The majority of extended households live in poverty and, therefore, lack sufficient resources to care for these children. In addition to receiving government social grants, some extended households are also receiving financial and non-financial assistance from local non-governmental organisations (NGOs). These local NGOs provide basic needs such as food, clothes and medical care to orphans living in extended family units. Little has been done to quantify their economic impact. This paper, therefore, investigates the economic impact of NGOs in improving the well-being of vulnerable orphaned children living in extended households in Soweto. Using Foster, Greer and Thorbecke's (FGT) poverty indices, we found that the help of NGOs was statistically significant in reducing of poverty in such dwellings. The results of FGT are supported by those of the logit econometric model.
