{"title":"Visual Self-Representations of Households Living in Situations of Economic Vulnerability","authors":"Juan Carlos Revilla Castro, Marta Romero-Delgado","doi":"10.1080/10875549.2023.2261679","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1080/10875549.2023.2261679","url":null,"abstract":"ABSTRACTNegative social representations of poverty and people living in situations of economic difficulty are still highly prevalent in society. Poor people are commonly viewed as passive, lazy, morally deviant, and, as distinct from the general population, undeserving of social assistance. These representations are grounded in individualistic explanations of social phenomena that ignore structural factors and make the subject responsible for their circumstances. This, in turn, impedes the development and implementation of social processes that might reduce exclusion. Although research on self-representations of poverty is limited, they tend to express far greater complexity and depth of meaning. These counter-representations can be understood as a reaction to negative social images, as a reconstruction of an alternative positive image, and as a claim to dignity as full members of society. Carried out within the framework of a European project, this study analyses the self-representations of households living in situations of economic vulnerability in two Spanish case studies (one urban and the other rural). The study employed an ethnographic methodology and is based on photographs taken by the study participants (21 households) and in-depth interviews. The fieldwork was conducted between 2014 and 2015. The results show that the study participants’ representations of themselves and their social world diverges greatly from social stereotypes. On the one hand, photographs taken in the intimate and private space of the home represent significant economic vulnerability. On the other, images taken in public spaces show people going about their everyday lives in a way that emphasizes resilience, normality and dignity, as well as a sense of belonging to the local community and a vindication of their rights as citizens. The findings have clear implications for social policy and manifest the importance of giving space to the voice of people living in situations of economic vulnerability.KEYWORDS: Economic vulnerabilitypovertySpainvisual sociology AcknowledgmentsThe authors are indebted to Spanish RESCUE Team for insightful discussions on crisis, vulnerable people, agency and poverty.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available on request from the corresponding author.

Poverty-growth semi-elasticity estimates suggest that the more the percentage point rise in growth, the more poverty would deteriorate. Results further suggest that the expected poverty incidence generated by 1% of growth is less than the expected poverty incidence when growth is either 5% or 10% or more. A major finding is that the estimates of poverty-growth semi-elasticity are highly responsive to marginal changes when choosing among poverty indices.KEYWORDS: ElasticitygrowthhouseholdNigeriapovertysemi-elasticitysurvey data AcknowledgmentsThe author hereby acknowledges the contributions of anonymous and independent expert reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions on the manuscript.

A structured literature review (SLR) was employed, collecting 955 articles from the Scopus database spanning from 1990 to 2022. The data was analyzed using bibliometric analysis tools and Excel. The paper explores the significant and conceptual aspects of the published literature on poverty alleviation and eradication. Additionally, it highlights the global issues faced by humanity, such as poverty alleviation and eradication, their origins, and implications. The study also provides potential directions for future research in this field by examining the poverty alleviation and eradication strategies employed by China and the USA. The significance of this study lies in the need for further research on the factors limiting efforts toward poverty alleviation and eradication from a global perspective. These findings can serve as a foundation for global anti-poverty initiatives and offer insights into reducing poverty in underdeveloped and developing nations worldwide.KEYWORDS: Bibliometric analysisliterature reviewpoverty alleviationpoverty eradication Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).","PeriodicalId":46177,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Poverty","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135926495","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Without stable employment, people struggle to become economically self-sufficient. Transitional, paid work may give people job skills to help them obtain and maintain employment. This study examined four employment social enterprises, which provide paid transitional work for people facing employment obstacles. Eighteen months later, those experiencing transitional work had better outcomes in terms of employment status and income, and this effect is the same across race/ethnic and gender groups. The benefits persisted even during the economic crisis created with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic.Keywords: economic self sufficiencyformer incarcerationhomelessnessmental illnessopportunity youthtransitional employment Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Supplementary materialSupplemental data for this article can be accessed online at https://doi.org/10.1080/10875549.2023.2259877Additional informationFundingThis work was funded by REDF and RTI International.
