Poverty creates disability and disability creates
poverty. People with disability are often among the
poorest of the poor. In Bangladesh most people with
disabilities live in the rural areas. They, and
sometimes also their families, are often excluded
both from their communities and from development
initiatives. To know the poverty situation of the
selected area, we first calculated the poverty line
income to determine the poor and non-poor. Since we
didn t have the data on food and non-food items to
calculate the Tronqvist price index which was needed
to calculate the poverty line income, we updated the
poverty line income used in HIES-2005 survey by the
rate of inflation of the respective year. To measure
the inequalities we used the Lorenz ratio. To
calculate the intergenerational mobility of household
land ownership and household food security we used
Markov Chain techniques. We also used Generalized
Estimating Equation to measure the risk of being
disabled due to any of the causes we found such as,
Filariasis, Goiter, Asthma etc. This book will be
helpful for those who are interested to research on
disability, also on poverty.
