The purpose of this paper is to carry out an empirical analysis of the link that exists between microfinance and poverty alleviation. The analysis is driven by literature searches on empirical works done by different researchers in different contexts. Qualitative research methodology was adopted, following a desktop approach. An empirical literature review took a centre stage in this investigation. An analysis of empirical works shows that microfinance enhances poverty alleviation despite the challenges such as the Indian Andhra Pradesh crisis. The paper is limited to a review of empirical sources of literature. A field survey, supported by an econometric analysis would have helped to generate robust results. This paper attempts to bring together the empirical works that were done in different contexts to shed light on the important relationship between microfinance and poverty. Many research works on microfinance depend upon personal anecdotes, thus this present paper attempts to compile the scattered empirical findings on microfinance and poverty alleviation.

Purpose: Thisstudy aimsto explore the mechanism by which poverty alleviation labelsinfluence purchase intentionsin the e-commerce environment, as well as the role of mediating factors within this process. Research Design, Data, and Methodology: The research employs a questionnaire survey method, targeting a sample of 1668 consumers in Anhui Province, China. It focuses on understanding the impact of poverty alleviation labels on e-commerce platforms and the involvement of mediating factors like capability trust, benevolence trust, and honesty trust in this relationship. Results: The results indicate that poverty alleviation labels on e-commerce platforms significantly enhance consumers' purchase intentions. Regression analysis validates the positive impact of poverty alleviation labels on purchase intentions, capability trust, benevolence trust, and honesty trust, revealing the existence of mediating effects. Conclusions: The study provides empirical support for e-commerce poverty alleviation marketing, emphasizing the importance of focusing on and strengthening consumer trust in products. It offers profound insights for both academic research and practical operations in related fields. However, the research is limited to Anhui Province, and future studies could consider expanding the sample size to gain a deeper understanding of regional and cultural variations. Additionally, further research is encouraged to explore the applicability of the findings to other sales channels.

The multidimensional poverty index is an indicator system established for defining and evaluating poverty, to understand poverty in dimensions beyond just monetary scarcity. Based on income, education, health, living standards, and social dimensions, this article measures and analyzes the level of multidimensional poverty in Xinjiang using the AlkireFoster method, with cross-sectional data obtained from a 2022 survey. Probit model is constructed for regression analysis, further considering the impact of education on enhancing feasible capabilities and alleviating multidimensional poverty at the post-poverty alleviation era. The data shows that many people still face significant challenges from the perspective of multidimensional poverty; the decomposition results of each dimension show that education contributes more to the multidimensional poverty; the regression analysis results show that the higher the education level, the lower the multidimensional poverty; heterogeneity analysis revealed that the inhibitory effect of education on multidimensional poverty is greater for females than males, and the poverty reduction effect of education mainly concentrates on middle-aged and older individuals. This article is meaningful for exploring strategies to alleviate multidimensional poverty in ethnic minority regions in frontier areas in the new era, accelerating regional economic development, and achieving shared prosperity.

본 연구는 OECD 선진자본주의 10개국 공적연금의 노인 빈곤완화효과를 복지체제를 감안하여 이중차분을 통해 분석하였다. 자료는 유럽의 고령자 패널인 SHARE(waveI~II)와 미국의 HRS(2004~2006)이다. 단순 이중차분 분석결과, 연금을 계속 수급하지 못하는 노인의 빈곤율은 악화되지만, 연금수급자의 빈곤율은 급감하였다. 이중차분을 통한 공적연금의 빈곤완화효과는 45.6%로, 기존의 pre/post방식의 빈곤완화효과보다 다소 크다. 하부집단으로 보면, pre/post 접근으로 측정한 보수주의 체제의 정책효과는 이중차분에 비해 과소평가되고, 사민주의와 자유주의는 과대평가되었다. 이중차분 회귀분석결과, 경제성장률은 유의한 영향을 미치지 않지만, 공적연금은 노인의 빈곤완화에 기여하는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 복지체제에 따라 공적연금의 빈곤완화효과가 다르다. 자유주의 체제에 비해 보수주의와 사민주의체제 공적연금의 빈곤완화효과가 큰 것으로 볼 수 있다.

본 연구의 목적은 사회보장급여가 빈곤완화 효과성과 효율성에 미치는 영향을 분석하는 것이다. 이를 위하여 2019 가계금융복지조사를 활용하여 공적연금, 기초연금, 양육수당, 장애수당, 기초생활보장지원금, 근로장려금, 기타 정부보조금 등 7개 급여의 빈곤완화 효과성과 효율성을 분석하였다. 분석결과, 첫째 빈곤율 감소측면에서 사회보장급여는 전체가구의 빈곤율을 6.8%p 낮추었고, 빈곤율 감소에 가장 크게 기여하는 급여는 공적연금으로써 이는 특히 남성노인에게서 명확하다. 둘째, 빈곤강도 감소 측면에서 노인세대 남성가구에게는 공적연금이, 노인세대 여성가구주에게는 기초연금이, 근로세대 여성가구주에게는 기초보장이 가장 크게 기여하고 있었다. 마지막으로 빈곤완화 효율성 측면에서, 사회보장급여 중에서 약 33% 정도가 빈곤격차를 줄이는데 기여하는데, 여성가구주의 빈곤완화 효율성은 57.6%, 남성가구주는 24.3%로써, 사회보장급여가 여성가구주에게는 빈곤격차 완화 기능을, 남성가구주에게는 가구소득 보충 기능을 주로 하는 것이 발견되었다. 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 본 연구는 사회보장 급여 효과성의 다각적 검토, 빈곤완화 효과성과 효율성을 동시에 높이는 전략으로써 다양한 빈곤상태 발굴, 여성노인을 대상으로 한 기초보장 확대, 사회보장급여의 목적과 핵심 대상과의 연결 등을 제안하였다.

이 글은 기초연금 인상만으로는 세계적으로 높은 한국의 노인빈곤율을 해소하기 어렵다는 점을 실증분석을 통해 밝히는 것이 목적이다. 패널자료를 이용하여 기초연금 인상대안 별로 빈곤완화효과를 추정한 결과 기초연금은 한국 노인의 절대빈곤을 완화하는데는 상당한 기여를 할 수 있는 것으로 분석되었다. 하지만 기초연금을 지금보다 2배 이상 인상해도 국제적 노인빈곤 기준인 상대빈곤율을 완화시키는 효과는 매우 제한적인 것으로 분석되었다. 이러한 분석을 근거로 이 논문은 기초연금의 정책목표는 사회적으로 합의된 절대빈곤의 해소에 두어야 하며 상대빈곤의 해소는 소득비례연금인 국민연금의 소득대체율 조정을 통해서 이루어져야 한다는 점을 주장한다.

The poverty level in Buru Regency is still high, despite the relatively stable economic growth. For this reason, the purpose of this study was to (1) Identify the leading commodity in each district in Buru Regency; (2) Analyze the effect of road infrastructure and leading commodities on poverty. The findings show that the most sparsely populated district is Fena Leisela, with mangoes as the leading commodity. Pineapple, langsat, apple rose, cabbages, cashews, coffee, cashew, melon, and watermelon are the leading products in Air Buaya, Batabual, Waplau, Lolong Guba, Lilialy, Waelata, Namlea, Kaiely Bay, and Waeapo, respectively. Additionally, the results also indicate that road infrastructure and leading commodities have a significant effect on poverty alleviation in Buru Regency. It means that improving infrastructure and increasing leading commodities production reduce poverty in the region. Good road infrastructure can promote connectivity between regions so that it can accelerate and expand economic development. The provision of infrastructure that encourages connectivity will reduce transportation costs and logistics costs to increase product competitiveness and accelerate the economic movement. When the road infrastructure in Buru Regency improves and new roads are built, it can improve transportation access, it will reduce the living cost for the poor and increase income, and open up opportunities for the poor to benefit from economic growth.

The objective of this study is to examine and provide guidelines for regional governments, communities, and the private sector in planning and implementing poverty-reduction activities that are more effective, efficient, and targeted. Besides, this research's specific aims are: 1) increasing the rate of regional economic growth through optimization of potential sources of local income, 2) increasing per-capita income, and 3) reducing poverty, unemployment, and social-economic inequality of the community. The study was conducted in North Morowali District, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia, in 2018-2019. The research approach used quantitative and qualitative descriptive analysis. Data sources include sources from the Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and Regional Statistics. The results of this study are based on the Millennium Development Goals (MDG's) indicators that there are four priority scales in poverty reduction, namely, Health and Infrastructure (Priority I), Education (Priority II), Food stability (Priority III), and Population and Employment (Priority IV). Therefore, as a solution to poverty alleviation strategies, the cost approach through regional economic optimization and local income sources and community empowerment factors are essential. Apart from that, the involvement between elements (government, organizations, society, universities, and institutions) is expected to continue as an effort to realize poverty reduction can be optimally overcome.

Accesses to lands, houses, the Internet and other utilities are regarded as basic human needs to escape poverty and are required to recognize the relationships between the digital divide and socio-economical inequality. The digital divide might not be a single technical disparity, but stems from a complicated mixture of economic and socio-technical symptoms of inequality. There is growing awareness of scrutinizing causal mechanisms between the digital divide and poverty since combating poverty could be a primary step to mitigate the digital divide. In this paper, the Hexad model is proposed to explicate poverty interpretation by using 6 parameters as a major tool for partly assisting in poverty monitoring system in connection with land information. A solution model of the Internet is suggested to break the digital divide. It expounds a conceptual framework and new idea for poverty management to notify spatio-temporal locations of poor actors and geography of the digital divide when efforts of poverty eradication hinge on understandings of geographic location of digital disadvantaged groups through parcel-based land information.
