WHAT IS POVERTY???
4
POVERTY
…is the shortage of common things, such as food, clothing, shelter, & safe drinking water; all of which determine the quality of life.
It may also include the lack of access to opportunities, such as education & employment, which aid the escape from poverty & allow one to enjoy the respect of fellow citizens.
5
TYPES OF POVERTYTYPES OF POVERTY
6
TYPES OF POVERTY
Extreme Poverty
Moderate Poverty
Working Poor
when someone
needs to live on less than US$1 a day.
when people need to live
on less than 2 such dollars a
day.
World Bank says….
In the ‘developed world’ this does not
apply. They have a job, but do not earn enough
money. They need to spend a lot of that
money for living expenditures; so that at the end of the day, little
is left.
7
POVERTY IN MALAYSIA
Controversial economic issue.
Government policies to address poverty, such as NEP (1976 RMK-3) have been met
with political protest.
8
Rapid economic growth rates contributed significantly to poverty reduction.
9
Overall incidence of poverty = decreased 5.7% (2004) to 2.8% (2009)
10
11
The impact is most critical on the urban poor, the near poor, and migrant workers.
12
13
Absolute Poverty Def;
1. The absence of enough resources (such as money) to secure basic life necessities.
2. A condition characterized by severe deprivation of basic human needs, including adequate food, safe drinking water, sanitation facilities, health, shelter, education, information, & access to services.
3. Synonym for extreme poverty.
14
Measured; Poverty Line Income (PLI). Households whose gross monthly incomes were
below half the PLI = Hardcore poor. Quantifies the number of people below a PLI. PLI is independent of time & place. To be absolute, the line must be the same in
different countries, cultures, & technological levels. Should look only at the individual's power to
consume & it should be independent of any changes in income distribution.
Absolute Poverty……continue
15
Poverty Line Income (PLI)
Def; minimum level of income deemed necessary to achieve an adequate
standard of living in a given country.
Determining; finding the total cost of
all the essential resources that an average human adult
consumes in one year.
Adjusted each year.
Useful as an economic tool
In developing countries, the
most expensive of these
resources is typically the rent
required to live in an
apartment.
The definition of Poverty Line Income; has been disputed.

2000 68 1,695,759 37.95
20
It is clear that we need a realistic PLI based on our current economy. Example; If PLI RM1,000=8.6% categorized as poor,
which is different to the 3.6% decided by government.
Based on Household Expenditures Census (2004-2005), Average urban household needs RM2,503 per month. Average rural household needs RM1,209 per month. Roughly, one household needs RM1,200-RM1,500 per
month.
So, the PLI decided by the government is not realistic.
21
Relative Poverty Def;
Inequality between groups. Proportion of household earning in incomes < 1/2 the mean/median
income.
Measured; income disparity ratio of income groups ethnic urban & rural.
In this system, if everyone's real income in an economy increases, but the income distribution stays the same, then the rate of relative poverty will also stay the same. Example; households with an accumulated income < 50% of the median
income are living in poverty.
22
Causes of Urban Poverty
Multi-dimensional ; structural, institutional & cultural
factors.
Inefficiencies in management due to
shortages in technical & managerial skills.
Limited access to employment opportunities.

24
Why Poverty Occurs?
Recession.
Economic inequality.
Shocks of food price (poor people spend a greater portion of their budgets on food than rich people).
25
GOVERNANCE Weak rule of law can discourage investment & thus perpetuate property. Poor management of resource revenues can mean that rather than lifting
countries out of poverty, revenues from activities such as oil production/gold mining, actually leads to a resource curse.
Failure by government to provide essential infrastructure worsens poverty. Poor access to affordable education traps individuals & countries in cycles
of poverty. High levels of corruption undermine efforts to make a sustainable impact
on poverty.
26
HEALTH CARE Poor access to affordable health
care. Inadequate nutrition in childhood. Disease; AIDS, malaria, etc…
27
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS Erosion.
Climate change.
28
29
Demography factors, such as fresh water, minerals, energy, etc.
Overpopulation ;Lack of access to birth control methods.
Crime in white-collar & blue-collar areas.
Cultural causes;e.g.,war. Discrimination on
gender, age, race, etc.
DEMOGRAPHICS & SOCIAL FACTORS

Strategic Action Plan For Urban Poverty
Direct Relief
Strategies of Poverty
Reduction
Def; efficient & fair government, less corrupt, & working for the long-term,interests of the nation
as a whole.
Decide the target to be achieved by all executants’ agencies.
These strategies have to be gender sensitive, pro-poor, participatory, & specific.

Idea ; develop project Expert. Issues & development problem. Development project ; capital intensive
pattern.
Impact ; project surrounding Benefit – ‘spread effects’. Means,

This approaches Attract ; > economics. Develop rural area.
From growth pole theory Idea, French scholar. (Francois Perroux) Promote by other regional sciences. Year 1950 & 1960.
Approach effectiveness Develop area/regional. Critics on 1970. Research ; ‘spread effects’ – the benefit development
area is not as good as expected.
Top to down ……continue
43
Means, Decline area + decline & developed area + developed.
From critics, Regional sciences & planning Start focus the development ; decline area Urban @ rural area.
So, they introduce more new development concepts & strategies.
Top to down ……continue
44
Planning should focus Problem on bottom stage. & opinion local people ; > important. Know > the problem.
(Friedmann & Weaver, 1979; Stohr & Taylor, 1981)
Research shows, > focus ‘supply’ factor then ‘demand’ factor. Reasons ; attract industry & develop certain area.

Bottom to up ……continue‘Supply’ Factor
Human & original sources
Infrastructure
Environment
Perception & + value of local people
(Glasson, 1992)
‘Demand’ Factor
Play important role
Used growth regional analysis
Refer;export/outside demand Supply could not meet
demand & we must upgrade the traditional economics
pattern in a current necessities.
46
LOCAL DEVELOPMENT Coffey & Polese (1984) ; 2 aspect
1. Area/ ‘locality’ & ‘regional’. 2. Development process ; internal sources & not
external sources.
“A particular form of regional development in which “local” factors i.e., the local spirit of entrepreneurship, local firms, or local financial institutions, constitute the principal bases for regional economic growth, within a
mixed market context”.(Coffey and Polese,1984)
* Local factor; Not physical/geography characteristics, but culture-socio & people habit = Main factor determine regional growth.

Entrepreneurial Appearance & Local Firm
Determine; Entrepreneurial & their talent.
Analyze ; Potential & circumstances factors Effect entrepreneurial appearance ;important
on this stage.
If fail ; planner action only looked into project ‘top to down’.
51
Local Firm Expansion To Outside Market Encourage factors.
Positive element ; area Information expanded, Knowledge, Skill, Talent.
Increased highest entrepreneurial.
52
Monitor Appearance Regional Economics
By Local People
To make sure ; local firm, growth & development effect, benefited to local area.
A part of regional economics are monitor by local people.
53
Strength Economics Sector Appearance & Controlled By Local People
From outcome of development process & regional economics structure; local firm – can match & change regional economics
outcome.
Local development ; complement for regional approach & theory. Example; Capital & infrastructure role. Migration mechanism for economics correction. Development centre approaches. (Coffey & Polese,1985)
54
Mankind development;Important aspect,Complement ; capital fiscal investment,Basic ; local development.
Research shows; productivity power - regional,Effected by quality of people,& Migration causes - inequality of regional growth.
Strength Economics Sector Appearance & Controlled By Local People….continue
55
Perspective of Local Development In Rural Development Area
Infrastructure investment & capital subsidy - not enough ; Rural Development Area.
Should ; - Consider local development aspect (Identity, Business & People).
Development ; small industry @ rural industry- monitor by local people. - must focus > ; not encourage investment from outside industrial.
56
Aspect In Rural Development Area Effort ; increased management & productivity power.
Needs resident commitment & good leadership. Commitment;
government-resident. (give basic necessities, infrastructure, courses & allocation of enough money). private-government. This approach ; ideas from below, money from above.
(Hautamaki,1993).
Many example ; Resident involvement ; planning & application. Development project ; based on potencies. Give a better outcome ; compare others project with local area.
(Ferguson,1992)
Decline area can develop; By this approach – commitment spirit & entrepreneurial.
57
Conclusions Co-operation from parties; Government, private & Non-government
organizations.
Decreased nation poverty = 5.7% to 2.8%, by 2010.
Abolish Hardcore Poverty= by 2010.
4 factors = before set up policy & program.(Demography, life cost, PLI & allocation sources)
Development project planning;-Not only plan & provide physical facility,-But ; consider mankind development.
Planner & executants ; understand development concept & process.
Local development concept ; (Identity, Business & People)-suitable to strength the concept of Rural Development Area.
