- W98347858 abstract "This case study presents the main findings from the community of Chawama, in Lusaka, Zambia, part of a four city comparative project in countries experiencing economic stresses in the 1980s, which aims to help policymakers design more effective locally-based solutions. The research concerns the strategies adopted by the urban poor to reduce vulnerability and prevent impoverishment. Labor, Social and Economic Infrastructure, Housing, Household Relations (also associated with inequalities), and Social Capital are treated as assets buffering the poor against vulnerability. The key findings of the Chawama study show: (1) Poor households frequently respond to declining real income by mobilizing additional labor -principally women's labor, and in the poorest households, children's labor; (2) The decline in public spending diminished social and economic infrastructure, impeding the poor's household incomes, as they are unable to substitute more effective but expensive private services for inferior and time-wasting public services; (3) The use of housing as a cushion against severe poverty was affected by the regulated Zambian land market, which forced young residents unable to afford the rent to move in with relatives, increasing the households' dependency ratio and decreasing their per capita incomes. Housing did provide important opportunities for home-based enterprises, allowing home-bound women to contribute to household income; (4) Economic stresses increased the prevalence of extended households headed by women, who, because of their disproportionate share in adjusting to adverse economic circumstances, were less able to respond to new income-generating opportunities; and (5) Social relations within communities were strained by households forced to focus on their own survival; and escalating crime and violence forced isolation and reduced community participation." @default.
