This paper reports on income status, major sources of income and determinants of
income of the ultra poor Mean per capita income was calculated to be Tk.3,385, per
annum that was even less than the estimated lower poverty line income. The
contribution of males and females to total household income was found to be 66% and
34% respectively. Variations in the male female contributions were due to differences
in the number of economically active males and females within the household,
household resource base, and sex and occupation of the household heads. The study
came up with the following conclusions. First of all differential income and its sources
for different region indicate that the effect of any similar kind of intervention would be
different for different regions. To minimize regional variations detail knowledge on
specific region would help for its further modification. Secondly, insignificant positive
contribution of external capital and NGO presence indicate that micro-credit can not
be the only alternative for their poverty eradication. Since 77% of the ultra poor were
mainly depended on wage employment, any wage-based development would be more
beneficial to them. Thirdly, high dependence on others' help indicated that in any
development programme for to the ultra poor, a provision of safety net would be
necessary. |
