Abstract

What are the causes of poverty? And why is poverty so widespread in the world? To answer these frequently asked questions, there are several factors to consider when it comes to the aspects that contribute to the causes of poverty. Factors such as economic, political, institutional and cultural aspects can all influence the case. As can be seen in Cambodia, the last decade has seen significant economic growth and poverty reduction, accompanied by numerous structural policy changes. However, a significant wealth and income gap still exists between the country's lower and upper classes, while the sudden onset of the COVID-19 pandemic has devastated Cambodia and pushed many people into poverty. Additionally, rural and low-income families face challenges accessing services and jobs, necessitating the focus on improving public institutions' capacities for effective resource management and responsible service delivery. This article hopes to provide valuable information to future researchers on poverty alleviation policies in Cambodia and the factors that contribute to urban-rural poverty.

Abstract

This study examined how income is distributed among rural households and the different sources that contribute to it, as well as their role in addressing income inequality. It used the Gini coefficient to assess the impact of rural household income and other sources of income on income equality in 16 villages in Chub commune, Tboung Khmum district, Tboung Khmum province, Cambodia. It was found that income from farm activities accounts for 68.78% of total income, and the income distribution is slightly unequal based on the Gini index and Lorenz curve (0.166614239; 0.169607843; 0.022865854). This suggests that diversification of income sources has influenced equality, highlighting the importance of households being able to diversify their income sources to achieve wealth equality. Access to resources such as inputs and finance could help improve income equality among rural families. The study highlights the need for policymakers to focus on the provision of productive resources and access to financial resources such as loans, as these can generate significant living income and potentially help prevent inequality in rural communities. Furthermore, the study revealed that non-farm and other activities contributed to the variation in income equality, accounting for 31.22% of the total income of rural households. The Gini index for non-farming income was 0.082741477; 0.176054916 compared to farming income, indicating slight inequality in household income.
