Regional Poverty and Its Determinants in Iran

Household data were used in this study to measure regional poverty
and its determinants separately for ten defined zones in rural and urban
areas in Iran in 2005. The non-parametric approach was used to
estimate poverty lines for each zone and the effect of poverty determinants
on poor and non-poor households was studied applying probit
models. The findings indicate that poverty rate, gap, and intensity are
higher in the urban areas. Family size, level of literacy, and asset ownership
are amongst the various determinants of poverty. In general,
the success of antipoverty programs depends highly on recognition of
regional differences.
