There are 2421 internally displaced people who were displaced from the Somali Regional State due to the interethnic conflict that occurred between the Oromo and Somali ethnic groups living around the borders in the eastern part of Ethiopia and settled in Adama city and Sabata town. The objective of this paper is to determine the social consequences of conflict-induced internal displacement on internally displaced people and host communities. Data collection methods were quantitative and qualitative data collection methods. The quantitative data collection method was survey questionnaires administered to 384 household heads. The qualitative data collection methods were key informant interviews, focus group discussion, and observation. The data were analyzed using logistic regression and linear multiple regression. The consequences of conflict-induced internal displacement on house rent, healthcare service costs, educational fees, student dropout, and student enrollment are analyzed using linear multiple regression. On the other hand, the consequence of conflict-induced internal displacement on social disintegration is analyzed using logistic regression. Internal displacement significantly affects the price of house rent (<i>B</i> = 0.262, <i>p</i> < 0.01), affects healthcare service costs (<i>B</i> = 0.262, <i>p</i> < 0.01), and is significantly related to social disintegration at <i>p</i> < 0.01. Internal displacement and student enrollment significantly affect educational fees (<i>B</i> = 0.233, <i>p</i> < .0.01, and 0.785, <i>p</i> < 0.01, respectively) and internal displacement, student enrollment, and educational fees significantly affected student dropout (<i>B</i> = 0.107, <i>p</i> < 0.01, <i>B</i> = 0.853, <i>p</i> < 0.01, and <i>B</i> = 0.096, <i>p</i> < 0.01, respectively). The findings show that conflict-induced internal displacement severely disrupts the social fabric of communities and makes the task of rebuilding lives and reintegrating more challenging after displacement. The findings also revealed that internally displaced people have no access to social services such as health, education, and potable water, are living in congested and overcrowded camp settings, are affected by discrimination and marginalization from the host community, and are affected by psychological trauma. The social consequences of conflict-induced internal displacement on internally displaced people are homelessness, social disintegration, poor health, loss of education, and psychological trauma. On the other hand, the social consequences of conflict-induced internal displacement on host communities are changing gender roles and age-related responsibilities and expectations complementing changes in the structure and function of social networks, the agency of displaced people, their social empowerment and new for","PeriodicalId":51927,"journal":{"name":"Global Social Welfare","volume":"7 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138536849","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}

This study quantified the extent and examined the determinants of vulnerability to rural multidimensional poverty using the Chaudhri (2002) approach and the generalized ordered logit model respectively. Data were gathered from 415 random rural households in 2021 in southern Ethiopia. The study showed that the levels of rural multidimensional poverty and the vulnerability to rural multidimensional poverty are 72.3 and 84% respectively. This suggests that vulnerability is more widespread compared to current poverty. Besides, 66 (15.90%), 220 (53.10%), and 129 (31.08%) households are non-vulnerable (<span>(V<0.50)</span>), moderately vulnerable, and extremely vulnerable (<span>(Vge 0.56)</span>) to future poverty respectively. About 276 (66.51%) and 97(23.37%) households are in chronic, and transitory rural multidimensional poverty. Of 349 vulnerable households, 129 (36.96%) of households are extremely vulnerable to future poverty. Of 173 extremely poor households, 167 (96.53%) households are extremely vulnerable to future deprivation. Female-headed households are more extremely vulnerable compared to male-headed households. Regression results highlighted that land size (β = − 3.07, <i>t</i> = − 4.65, <i>p</i> < 0.001), tropical livestock unit (β = − 0.67, <i>t</i> = − 4.32, <i>p</i> < 0.001), credit (β = -3.93, <i>t</i> = − 3.69, <i>p</i> < 0.001), mobiles per household (β = − 0.58, <i>t</i> = − 4.21, <i>p</i> < 0.001), extension visits (β = − 0.33, <i>t</i> = − 3.81, <i>p</i> < 0.001), death of animals (β = 2.21, <i>t</i> = 3.37, <i>p</i> < 0.001), age of household head (β = − 0.17, <i>t</i> = − 4.84, <i>p</i> < 0.001), being male-headed (β = − 0.88, <i>t</i> = − 2.15, <i>p</i> < 0.01), and crop failure (β = 1.38, <i>t</i> = 3.91, <i>p</i> < 0.001) are significantly affecting vulnerability to rural poverty. Hence, rural poverty reduction strategies need to aim not only to reduce current or ex-post poverty but also to prevent ex-ante or future poverty. The findings underscore the importance of promoting access to rural land, credit, extension services, irrigation, information technology, and education to reduce vulnerability to future deprivation of rural households.</p>","PeriodicalId":51927,"journal":{"name":"Global Social Welfare","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-10-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138536856","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}
