Analyse variations for each poverty dimension between 2007 and 2011 combining data collected from questionnaires and qualitative information collected from fieldwork. TABLE 2.2. Poverty dimensions and specific criteria used in this report Poverty Specific indicators dimensions 1. Income Households listed as “poor” according to Government income poverty line in the 2006-2010 period in rural areas (average income is less than VND 200,000/person/ month) 2. Assets Households living in temporary houses, or Households with no motorbikes and cattle 3. Living conditions Households not using electricity as main lighting source, or Households using water from ponds, lakes, rivers, streams as main domestic water sources, or Households with no latrines or temporary latrines 4. Children’s Households with children aged 6 to15 not going to school education 5. Health Households suffering illnesses and hospitalized in the last 12 months and who lack access to satisfactory health services 6. Food security Households with regular food shortages (one month or more) in the last 12 months 7. Agricultural employment 8. Access to markets 9. Access to information 10. Risk management Households whose only source of employment is farming (no non-agricultural livelihood sources) Households selling no products in the last 12 months, or Households buying no agricultural materials in the last 12 months Households with no TV sets and no telephone Households facing risks that greatly affect their lives in the last 12 months Note: • Poverty indicators and the “cut-off point” for each indicator is based on the results of group discussions with local residents and officials in ten surveyed communes. • Due to the data limitation of household questionnaires in the 2007-2011 period in ten surveyed communes, illustrative data on multi-dimensional poverty used in this report do not cover important poverty dimensions and indicators (such as malnourished children, healthcare services are not affordable, social relations, gender equality, participation and empowerment...), nor present “quality” aspects of poverty criteria (such as: education quality, quality of assets, livelihood quality ...). • Data from the results of survey of repeated random sample of 600 selected households in 20 villages in ten surveyed communes in 2007 and in 2011. As for the proportion of “poor households” taken from the statistics of 2007 and 2010 (because in 2011 the Government revised the poverty line, thus unable to compare it with 2007). • Data from the questionnaires filled by 600 households are only used for illustration (the selection of sample of households in the village is on a random basis, but the selection of sample of villages and commune is purposeful
Five-year Synthesis Report Part 2: Challenges to Rural Poverty Reduction in Viet Nam General picture of multi-dimensional rural poverty at monitoring points in the last five years 67 People’s living standards at the monitoring points have improved in the last five years (Figure 2.2) Education, assets, food security and access to information have improved the most since 2007. Assets (housing, motorbikes, and cattle) and access to information (TV, telephone) have seen the biggest improvements in the last five years. Living conditions (electricity, safe water, latrines), agricultural employment, access to market (selling products and buying agricultural materials) and managing risks have improved the least. FIGURE 2.2.
