Abstract AR
تستعرض هذه الورقة بعض الدراسات التصورية حول قضايا الفقر و المناهج المختلفة لتعريفها، و قياسها، و أسبابها الأساسية، و أساليب البحث التجريبي المستخدمة.
و تنقسم الورقة إلى خمسة أقسام، حيث يتعرض الأول و الثاني و الثالث منها إلى المناهج المستخدمة لتعريف الفقر و قياسه و الآثار المترتبة على الحد من الفقر.
بينما يتلقى تعريف الفقر و قياسه قدر كاف من البحث و المناقشة، فإن الأسباب الأساسية للفقر لم تبحث بنفس القدر إلى حد ما.
و يستعرض القسم الرابع بعض الدراسات حول أسباب الفقر متضمنة قضايا النمو الاقتصادي و عدم المساواة.
و يختص القسم الخامس بالأساليب التجريبية المستخدمة في بحث الفقر و تقديره بما في ذلك مزايا و مساوئ كلا المنهجين الكمي و الكيفي المستخدمين في بحث الفقر.
و تنتهي بالملاحظات الاستنتاجية بعد استعراض الدراسات حول الفقر.
Abstract EN
This paper reviews some selected conceptual literature on poverty issues and the various approaches to its definition, measurement, underlying causes, and empirical research methodologies used.
The paper is divided into five sections of which the first, second, and third deal with approaches to the definition and measurement of poverty and implications on poverty reduction.
While poverty definition and measurement have received sufficient research and discussion, the underlying causes of poverty have been rather under researched.
The fourth section reviews some of the literature on the causes of poverty including issues of economic growth and inequality.
The fifth section is devoted to empirical methodologies adopted in poverty research and poverty assessment including advantages and disadvantages of both quantitative and qualitative approaches to poverty research.
The paper winds up by concluding remarks after reviewing the literature on poverty.
