Livelihood capitals have a clear influence on livelihood development. As for the livelihood results, it has been pointed out in the analysis of the poor households that the ability of people to escape poverty depends especially on the access to livelihood capitals. This study aims to analyze the impacts of livelihood capital on poverty among mountain people who depend on forests through human capital, social capital, natural capital, physical capital and financial capital. This research employs the model of binary regression function. Independent variables x1, x2, …, xn are targets of livelihood strategy, vulnerability context, and livelihood capitals. These variables were selected to be included in the original model with dependent variable Y as poor and non-poor households. This study surveys households living in upland areas, near forests, and households of ethnic minorities. The results show that,out of the poor household rate, nearly 4% are newly-poor households or those falling back into poverty. Therefore, the government needs to pay more attention to this disadvantaged group and implements policies such as education and training policies, credit support policies, policies to support forest development, and payment for forest environmental services in the context of emerging countries like Vietnam.

Background: Ethiopia is among the poorest countries where land degradation caused livelihood problem to its inhabitants. The livelihood of rural communities in Ethiopia is seriously threatened by land degradation. Land is the major natural resource that economic, social, infrastructure, and other human activities are undertaken on. Thus, land resources play an important role in shaping rural livelihoods, and lack of sustainable land management practices leads to land degradation. Thus, this study aimed to analyze interlink between land degradation and livelihood of rural communities in Chilga district, Northwest Ethiopia. It also addresses the factors which influence income diversification for livelihood of households in the study area. Result: The result depicts that the major causes of land degradation are both natural and anthropogenic. Land degradation and livelihood are negatively interlinked with each other. The livelihood of the majority of the population in the study area is dependent on subsistence agriculture both farming and animal husbandry with low diversification. The survey result showed that more than half (69%) of the sample households have farm size of less than 2 ha, nearly one third (31%) have 2.0-2.5 ha, and insignificant number of farmers have more than 2.5 ha. More than 80% of the respondents pointed out that land degradation has impacts both on crop yield and livestock production. Most of the explanatory variables such as gender, age, education level, farmland size, and family size have statistical significant influence (at P < .01 and P < .05 levels) for income diversification of households, while marital status on the other hand is not statistically significant though it has positive relation with income diversification in this study. Conclusions: Our results suggest awareness should be created in the community about the livelihood diversification mechanisms which enabled them to engage in different income-generating activities and comprehensive watershed management should be implemented.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between single-person households & Beneficiary of National Basic Livelihood and recommendation on alcohol consumption, and counseling on drinking problems for adults 19 years of age or older. Methods: In this study, excluding missing values, the association between the single-person household & Beneficiary of National Basic Livelihood and recommendation to refrain drinking alcohol, counseling for drinking problems was analyzed by using the chi-squre test and logistic regression analysis. Results: In the case of non-single person households, compared to single-person households, the recommendation rate to refrain drinking alcohol was 1.519 OR (Odds Ratio [OR]: 1.159 , p-value <.0001). meanwhile, in the case of Beneficiary of National Basic Livelihood, the recommendation rate to refrain alcohol consumption was higher by 1.414 OR (OR: 1.414, p-value: 0.011), and the drinking problem counseling rate was also higher by 2.257 OR (OR: 2.257, p-value: 0.026) compared to non-beneficiary group. Discussion & Conclusion: Based on the 2016-2019 National Health and Nutrition Survey, this study investigated the associaiton between single households & Beneficiary of National Basic Livelihood and recommendations to refrain alcohol, and counseling on drinking problems. Compared to the Beneficiary of National Basic Livelihood group, single-person household group has recently been classified as a socially vulnerable group, but it is not applicable in the policy category. If policy and institutional measures for treatment are provided, it is expected that the problem of alcohol abuse can be reduced.

As economic crisis has deepened mass unemployment and widespread destitution since the end of 1997, the Korean society is now underway of social disorganisation. It is thus widely accepted that National Basic Livelihood Programme, which reformed the existing public assistance programme, is urgently needed to relieve low-income families from extreme poverty. It is in this regard that this paper purports to review the debates on, and to suggest the feasible schemes for the National Basic Livelihood Programme. For this purpose, chapter two critically reviews government's comprehensive counter-measures against mass unemployment, and chapter three examines main points of the National Basic Livelihood Act. Chapter four compares "programme-centrad approach" and "basic living approach", and duly suggests feasible schemes for the National Basic Livelihood Programme.

This study was conducted to analyze the impact of industrial park development on the livelihood of people living around the industrial parks in the Central region of Vietnam. The data was collected from 394 households living around these industrial parks; using the data, the authors employed a quantification model among factors affecting the income of families living in the surroundings of industrial parks and they calculate the adaptive capacity of households to consider the impact of the development of industrial parks on people's livelihood. Research findings show that industrial park development has both positive and negative impacts on the livelihood of people living around the industrial parks. Specifically, the factors that positively affect the income of households living around industrial parks include the area of land acquired due to the construction of industrial parks, the transportation system after the industrial park has located there, and the number of jobs available when the industrial park is being built. The factor that negatively affects the income of households living around industrial parks when they are under construction is the number of unemployed laborers. The study also calculated that the adaptive capacity of the people after the industrial park development is a coefficient of 0.376.

Women are more disadvantaged than men in many fronts and this confines them to informal sector livelihood activities. Any attempt to improve women's economic status will require information on the organization, cost and returns to investment in the livelihood activities in which they predominate. This is the issue for this study which compared yield performance in artisanal fishing and fresh fish marketing. Primary data collected through multi-stage sampling method were analyzed using inferential statistics, budgeting and regression models. Empirical findings revealed that about 75.0% of fisher folks either had no formal education or acquired only primary school education while 50.0% of marketers had secondary school education. The budgeting model revealed fisher-folks' and marketers' annual net profit to be N2,882,626.00 and N640,227.00, respectively. Profit from fishing was significantly higher than that of fish marketing. At 53.2% for fishing and 40.3% for marketing, returns to investment was better in fishing. Regression model results showed the significant factors influencing returns to each livelihood strategy to include fishing ground, distance covered and years of experience. The major constraint faced by operators of both livelihoods groups was insufficient credit. Despite this, the livelihood strategies were shown to be profitable ventures which contributed to households' consumption expenditure. Organizing women informal sector operators into groups to enhance access to government support and formal credit are recommended for improving livelihood strategy performance.

이 연구는 첫째, 현대 한국사회의 신문사에 의해 발화되는 '민생'이 어떤 의미를 가지며, 그것을 지칭하는 구체적인 대상이 무엇인가를 밝히고자 했다. 둘째, 신문사에 의해서 형성되는 거대담론과 시간의 흐름에 따라 변하는 것 그리고 변하지 않는 것이 무엇인지를 고찰하고자 했다. 이를 위해 한국의 주요 종합일간지의 표제어에 '민생'이란 키워드를 담고 있는 사설들을 분석했다. 이를 통해 민생담론은 누적적으로 형성된 담론 관행이 시간의 흐름과 사회변화에 따라 변하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 정치적 관점에서는 정부별로 담론이 형성되고 전환되는 양상이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 민생을 대변한다는 암묵적인 전제하에, 정부 정치권과 저항세력에 대해 적대적이나 공격적인 진술을 정당화했다. 또한 민생담론은 한국의 민주화 세계화 과정이라는 거대한 사회적 흐름과 관계했고, 민주화의 발전과정과 함께 비판의 주된 대상이 정부중심에서 정당중심으로 변해온 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 경제적인 관점에서 민생담론이 노동쟁의, 물가, 통화증가율, 주택문제, 외환위기 등을 해결하기 위한 노력이었다면, 환란이후인 2000년대 들어서는 경제성장과 분배문제부터 양극화 문제, 일자리 창출, 비정규직 철폐 등의 문제들로 전환되는 양상을 보였다. 우리사회에 위기가 닥칠 때마다 민생경제 담론은 경제정책을 주도하는 주체에 대해 비판을 가했지만, 위기를 벗어나려는 대안의 모색이나 구체적인 분석을 제시한 것은 아니었다. 결론적으로 한국의 주요종합일간지 신문사설에 의해서 생산되는 '민생'이란 단어의 의미는, 사전적 정의로서의 '국민생활' 그 자체와 거리가 있었다.

본 연구는 국민기초생활보장법상 보충성 규정의 법 원리적 성격을 규명하고자 하였다. 보충성은 그 기능의 측면에서 적극적 의미와 소극적 의미의 양면성을 가지기 때문에 그것이 도입된 법규범의 특성에 따라 다르게 해석 적용된다. 요컨대, 그것의 소극적 의미는 국가권력의 자의적 남용을 제한하여 시민의 자유를 보장하는 것이므로 형법 등 사회통제 규범에서는 타당한 기능이 되지만, 사회보장법 특히 공공부조에서는 사회국가(복지국가)원리에 따라 국가의 개입에 의한 지원과 예방책이 요구되므로 보충성원리의 적극적 의미가 타당하게 된다. 그러므로 국민기초생활보장법상 보충성원리는 적극적 의미로 해석 적용될 때 생존권적 기본권 보장에 순기능을 하게 되며, 법적 안정성도 가지게 된다.
