▼ Persistent poverty is a serious problem in Georgia. Education, especially postsecondary education, could be the key to breaking poverty cycles and putting Georgia’s youth on track to build the wealth they need to get out of poverty and stay out. Teachers are information brokers, role models, and strong supports for students from low-income backgrounds (Ellis & Lane, 1963, Peters, 2008). This puts teachers in a unique position to affect change in the lives of these students by encouraging them to pursue some form of education beyond high school (Choy, Horn, Nunez, & Chen, 2000). However, to appropriately advise students, teachers need accurate and up-to-date college knowledge. This survey study examined the perceptions high school teachers in selected persistent poverty counties in Georgia had about their college knowledge and to discover how often these teachers shared this college knowledge with the students they taught. The sample for this study was 257 high school teachers who teach in selected persistent poverty counties in Georgia. Seventy-seven point eight percent of the desired sample participated in the study. Survey research revealed that the majority of teachers perceived that one of their roles as a high school teacher was to assist students in making informed decisions about postsecondary education and careers. However, college and career guidance was incorporated into only 41.4% of teachers’ teacher preparation programs. Teachers’ major source of college knowledge information was the Internet. They possessed the most college knowledge and shared most frequently information about their state’s high school graduation requirements. They knew least about and least frequently shared information about the transfer of postsecondary education credit. There was a high positive correlation between teachers’ college knowledge and their frequency of college knowledge sharing. Analyses determined that there was no statistically significant difference in teachers’ college knowledge or frequency of college knowledge sharing based on their teaching area. Details revealing the college knowledge of these teachers are shared. Recommendations to increase teachers’ college knowledge are also provided. Advisors/Committee Members: Myra Womble.

▼ Abstract provided by author; The purpose of this study is to investigate the levels of poverty in Babylon informal settlement community in Windhoek. Babylon was selected as a case study, since Babylon was amongst the first informal settlement areas to be established in Windhoek. Poverty is a multi-dimensional phenomenon, and it is characterised by lack of power, exposure to risk, malnutrition, high mortality rate, low life expectancy, and insufficient access to socio-economic services, and opportunities for income generation; The principal research objectives of the study were:1)To determine the prevailing conditions of poverty of the people living in the Babylon informal settlement community in Windhoek. 2)To identify ways on how to alleviate the poverty of the people living in the Babylon informal settlement community in Windhoek; The target population consisted of people living in Babylon informal settlement community. The sample size was 150 heads of household. Out of 150 heads of households, only 100 heads of household were available for interviews. The data was collected with the aid of two instruments, namely a questionnaire and semi structured interviews which were presented in one form of participatory poverty assessment discussions. The data of the study was analysed as follows: issues were arranged in a logical order, and specific issues were clustered into discernable themes, that gave meaning to the data obtained; The study concluded that even if poverty were to be totally eradicated, there is still a need to ensure sustainability. The study further found that there is a need to undertake action research and policy review which cut across the economic, social and ecological dimensions for the purpose of sustainable development. Economic challenges are associated with the manner in which society produce and consume goods and services; The study recommends that, a Poverty Reduction Strategy for Namibia be reviewed and centred on the 'basic needs' approach of poor people. This approach emphasizes the importance of the involvement and participation of the people in the process of needs identification. Poverty alleviation should be attainment through the provision of health services, education, housing, sanitation, water supply and adequate nutrition. Improvement of basic services should become an integral component of long term sustainable poverty alleviation strategies of these households. Advisors/Committee Members: (advisor), (advisor).

▼ This dissertation uses data from the 2006 American Community Survey and Decennial Census 2000 to analyze trends and determinants of poverty among Mexican Americans and Mexican immigrants in the Southwestern United States. The chapters include: 1) an Introduction; 2) a Literature Review with sub-sections on many issues related to these populations; 3) a discussion of Data and Methods including a section on the Development of a Proxy Variable for Undocumented Status; 4) Results for Mexican Americans (Individual Level); 5) Results for Mexican Immigrants (Individual Level); 6) Multilevel Results; and 7) Conclusions and Future Research Directions. The introduction and literature review will provide a background and overview of the research, as well as the analysis of poverty at the individual and contextual level (i.e. the Super-PUMA level). Data and methods are then discussed relative to all the analyses to be undertaken in the dissertation. In addition, specific emphasis in this chapter will be placed on the methodology pertaining to the development of the undocumented proxy variable. In Chapter IV data are analyzed at the individual level through the use of logistic regression. Special attention is placed on variables pertaining to ethnicity, citizenship status, and years spent in the US, among others, in order to predict the likelihood of Mexican Americans being in extreme poverty, one hundred percent poverty, and low-income. The focus is then narrowed in Chapter V to Mexican immigrants with special attention given to the effect on poverty of undocumented status. In Chapter VI, independent variables at the contextual level are used to predict poverty in conjunction with those used at the individual level; these include the percentage of persons in poverty, concentration of Mexican immigrants, and the relative presence of various industries. The findings confirm that both individual level and contextual level predictors are key in the determination of poverty for Mexican Americans and immigrants. In the conclusion, discussion is given to the fact that many studies have focused on the individual level predictors of poverty; this research goes one step further in that it examines poverty not only with respect to individual predictors, but also group level variables.

▼ The study used 2014 Kenya Demographic and Health Survey data to provide a detailed analysis of fertility and poverty rates in Kenya. Poverty rates were calculated using Multidimensional Poverty Index in order to compute groups of population who are poor and non poor as measured by deprivation rates. The overall objective of the study was to investigate the relationship between fertility and household poverty while the specific objectives of the study are; to investigate the effect of fertility on household poverty and probability of households with high fertility entering into poverty. These objectives were achieved through critical analysis of various indicators at the household level. Some parts of the country have recorded increase or stalled rates of poverty and it is important to understand regional poverty dynamics and its determinants. In regional comparison, multidimesional calculations of poverty showed that many households were still deprived of education, health and standards of living at different degree. In health deprivation, Central region was least deprived at 17%, followed by Western region at 20% and Nyanza region at 30%. Eastern region was mostly deprived at 33%. In education deprivation, Central region was least deprived at 4% while Eastern region was mostly deprived at 11%. Nyanza and Western regions had deprivations of 10% and 8% respectively. In standards of living deprivation, Central was least deprived while Eastern region had the highest deprivation levels. The result also showed that fertility is positively related with household deprivations whereby giving birth to one more child will increase the household deprivations in the three components. Households with high fertility are more likely to enter into poverty at 1.024%. From the analysis, the positive relationship of fertility and household poverty shows that many households still live in poverty; hence fertility is still a challenge to the country‟s economic development. Therefore argent intervention policies should be enhanced to reduce fertility. The study shows that majority of deprived households were in Nyanza, Eastern and Western regions, therefore intervention measures are required in these regions. The government should improve education system so that households can acquire quality education for economic development. The government should also enhance health provisions and strongly advocate for modern contraceptive use to reduce fertility.

▼ The research paper opens with the evolution of the Millennium Development Goals as a development framework. Having considered the evolution of the Millennium Development Goals, the paper then focuses on the socio-economic and political huddles that will make the realization of the Millennium Development Goals in Southern Africa sub region elusive and insurmountable. The study deliberately uses South Africa as a case study primarily because of her geo-political and economic position in the region. The Republic South Africa is the dominant power south of the Sahara. This paper challenges the existing conviction and rhetoric that depict South Africa as the only notable country south of the Sahara that will indubitably meet the Millennium Development Goals and targets by 2015. The paper draws attention to apparent neglect of the worsening social inequalities, the country's dual economy system, socio-economic and institutional costs of HIV and AIDS as well as neo liberal economic policies that have worsened social disparities in the country. This paper, posits that despite South Africa's economic and political achievements since 1994, the country face intractable socio-economic challenges that will turn the ambition of accomplishing the Millennium Development bleak and elusive. Economic growth alone will not propel the country into sustainable development. The government needs to consider other indicators of development such as employment, health, education, lack of technical skills as well as the growing income inequalities. The paper also looks at the socio-economic and political frameworks that have been devised to propel the country into sustainable development. More emphasis is also alluded to South Africa's system of governance with more emphasis on the role of municipalities in economic development as well as the realization of the Millennium Development Goals. Regional governments are at the heart of sustainable social, economic and political development in South Africa. Provincial governments and ·municipal administration administer social service delivery in their areas of jurisdiction. By in large most of these basic services administered by regional governments such as water, health, housing and social grants are key indicators of the Millennium Development Goals. The paper finally looks at the prospects of achieving the Millennium Development Goals in the region as well as global commitment to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals. In conclusion the research study outlines the findings and recommendations.

▼ Early Childhood Development (ECD) has become a priority sector within South Africa, particularly in respect to ensuring equity and high quality of care for the youngest members (ages 0 to 5 years old) of the population. South Africa is also burdened with high levels of poverty, inequality and unemployment as well as unequal levels of service delivery and public provision of infrastructure. Given the recent development and request for feedback on the provisional ECD policy, there would be a benefit to examine the current state of this draft policy, its respective white papers, and its national and international mandates as well as to understand their relationship to South Africa’s context of poverty. Furthermore, child poverty remains a major concern in the country, particularly in respect to the geographical and living conditions where children live, study and play. This paper wishes to bring to light literature on poverty and, from a multi-dimensional lens, understand how early childhood development provision, whether it be through its programming or the physical centres themselves, are affecting the lives of children, particularly those within households living in urban poverty. ECD are intended to provide children with a safe facility to stay and with some standards of conditions which would allow children to learn and improve their skills. ECD also provides parents with the ability to leave their children in safe places so that they can work or learn. The proximity of ECD centres, their costs, the staffing and their physical conditions influence the choices of parents to leave their children at an ECD centre. The ECD centres within informal settlements are also explored in this paper, given the need for further understanding of such physical infrastructures within a municipality’s planning. Planning for ECD centres within the ‘grey areas’, such as informal settlements or those located in traditional land, can be problematic, especially for ECD managers or principals in gaining access to much needed ECD resources through the appropriate departments. Those parents who have limited and erratic income stream are provided with inadequate choices which may put a mother and/or father in difficult situations of child care. The ECD policy would benefit poor households, particularly those living within informal settlements, through understanding the conditions of the poor and their limitation of choices in ECD centres. In understanding their limitation, government could help provide a more meaningful policy which caters to their needs.

▼ With the transition to a democratic society, one of the challenges to emerge was to provide economic freedoms for all – that is, freedom from isolation, freedom from powerlessness, freedom from hunger, and freedom from poverty. Fighting poverty has always been high on the agenda of the democratic government since the transition. Numerous measures and policies were instituted aimed at reducing poverty. Researchers initiated serious efforts to try and understand the nature and extent of poverty, through various studies being conducted. Many of these studies focused only on money-metric measures, despite the fact that poverty is a multidimensional concept. What has resulted are various poverty-measurement methods producing different results on the extent of poverty. In addition, certain aspects of these money-metric approaches have serious shortcomings. The fuzzy sets approach addresses many of these shortcomings, as it is a multidimensional approach. Few studies have used this approach to measure poverty in South Africa. This thesis plans to use this method to analyse poverty levels and trends in South Africa, focusing on multidimensional, non-money-metric poverty. Data from Census 1996, Census 2001 and Community Survey 2007 will be used for the study. From the results of the analysis it was established that there is some divergence in the findings of money-metric approaches and those of fuzzy sets. A key result to emerge is the difference in poverty trends over the period 1996 – 2007. Most studies reviewed in Chapter Three that used the money-metric approach showed that poverty trends were upward in the 1990s, before a downward trend took place in the 2000s. This took place irrespective of the survey data used. The non-money-metric poverty trends derived in this chapter, however, show a continuous downward trend over the period. The overall mean deprivation in South Africa has declined since 1996. For people residing in provinces such as Limpopo, the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, they are more likely to be poor under the fuzzy sets approach. This may be an indication of inadequate service delivery and the extent to which recent government measures to address poverty have been successful or not. In terms of race, blacks still have the highest mean deprivation, but enjoyed the biggest decline of mean deprivation between 1996 and 2007. Finally, mean deprivation for female-headed households in South Africa was also higher than for male-headed households over the period. Advisors/Committee Members: Yu, Derek (advisor).

▼ Remittances to sub-Saharan Africa have steadily been on increase in recent decades. However, the full socio-economic benefits of remittances to some countries, such as Tanzania are far from clear. Consequently, the importance of this economic phenomenon in Tanzanian society is rather inconclusive, because their effects on poverty reduction and development in Tanzania are based largely on evidence from the regional area (i.e. sub-Saharan Africa) and from other developing countries. This study has examined the perceived and actual effects of remittances on poverty reduction and development in Tanzania from the viewpoint of Leicester-based Tanzanian diaspora and the remittance receivers’ in Tanzania. The study was, therefore, based in two places, Leicester (United Kingdom- UK) and Tanzania. It adopts an inductive approach to enquiry for which both qualitative and quantitative data were collect from the three case studies: The first case study is Leicester-based Tanzanian diaspora (the remittances senders), the second case study is remittance receivers in Tanzania (the remittances users), and third case study is Tanzanian government officials (i.e. researchers, policy makers and regulatory bodies). The significance of this study is that it is a two-way process conducted from the remittance senders’ (the Leicester-based Tanzanian diaspora) and remittance the receivers’ perspectives (the remittance users in Tanzania). The study, therefore, involve tracking of remittances from Leicester to Tanzania. The study provides better insight and understanding of the effects of remittances on poverty reduction and development in Tanzania. It help to understand how best to harness diaspora and remittances through the understanding of diaspora’s capabilities and interests, as well as types of remittances sent to Tanzania, channels of sending, and any obstacles that hamper the effectiveness of remittances on poverty reduction and development in Tanzania. The study also offers insight into why the Tanzanian diaspora continues to remit. Amongst other reasons, it includes the retained belief in the Ujamaa ideology (family-hood or brother-hood). In turn, this adds significant contributions on the theories of migration and development, and motives to remit. The overall finding of this study is that remittances remain important to Tanzanian society, because they help to increase the amount of disposable money for spending on education, health, consumption, business formation, and investments. Unlike other international aid, remittances go directly to receivers. Thus, remittances tend to have immediate and direct effects on the livelihoods of the receivers. Remittances received from Leicester, therefore, help to improve the quality of lives of the recipients. Hence, they help to reduce depth and severity of poverty on the receiving communities. Nevertheless, the findings of this study clearly show that from a developmental perspective, one of the major challenges to the effects of remittances on poverty reduction and development in Tanzania is…
