Finding magnitude and Identification of factors that are strongly linked with the rural poverty
is an important aspect in developing successful strategies intended for poverty. In this study
we have also estimated poverty incidence, intensity and severity among the rural households
in Athara Hazari (one of four sub district of Jhang, Punjab Province) along with the other
demographic , social and socioeconomic factors of households that affect the poverty. The
analysis of the study carried out on the basis of primary data and the same was collected
through the structured and specifically designed questionnaires and document analysis.
Multi-stage random sampling technique was employed to select 1000 household head as
respondents from the different villages of study area. This study used poverty line Rs. 2478/-
which was calculated by the Planning Commission of Pakistan. According to the survey
conducted in 2017, 40.3% are below the Poverty line (15% people are extremely poor). Depth
and severity are 34% and 11% respectively. Majority of families were headed by farmer,
illiterate and aged persons and also all three measures, headcount index, depth and severity
of poverty were worse among these households. Results of the logistic regression suggest that
an increase in the landholding, livestock and total assets of the household have considerably
decreasing the probability of being poor in the study area.
