Food security measurement in a global context
What have we learned from two decades of research on household food security
What have we learned from two
How much does the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program alleviate food insecurity? Evidence from recent programme leavers
Objective To estimate the effect of the US Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) on the food security (consistent access to adequate food) of recipients, net of the effect of the self-selection of more food-needy households into the programme. Design The food security of current SNAP recipients and recent leavers is compared in cross-sectional survey data, adjusting for economic and demographic differences using multivariate logistic r…
How adequately are food needs of children in low-income households being met
Does interview mode matter for food security measurement? Telephone versus in-person interviews in the Current Population Survey Food Security Supplement
Objective To assess whether interview mode (telephone vs. in-person) affects the results of surveys that measure food security. Design Responses given by households interviewed by telephone and in-person in recent US Current Population Survey Food Security Supplements (CPS-FSS) were compared. Statistical methods based on the Rasch measurement model were used to assess whether response patterns differed between the two interview modes. Multivariat…
Food Insecurity Is Associated with Adverse Health Outcomes among Human Infants and Toddlers
Does It Cost Less to Live in Rural Areas? Evidence from New Data on Food Security and Hunger
Rural-urban differences in the association of food insecurity and hunger with income suggest that the cost of living is substantially lower in rural than in urban areas. This implies that the official poverty rate overstates rural economic hardship compared with that in urban areas. Geographic differences in cost of living implied by the association between food insecurity and income provide some validation of the cost of housing adjustment propo…
Homeless Children and Their Families in New Hampshire
Twenty case studies of homeless students and their families in New Hampshire reveal that homelessness is a problem in rural, as well as urban, areas. Homelessness for two-parent families came in the wake of economic reverses, while for singleparent families the precipitating event was family disruption. Homeless schoolchildren were found to suffer serious setbacks both academically and socially, including exhaustion, lack of time and a place to d…
Migration and the Spatial Concentration of Poverty1
Current Population Survey data are used to estimate the effects of migration of the poor and nonpoor on the spatial concentration of poverty among five categories of counties defined by county poverty rates and, separately, among nonmetropolitan high-poverty areas, central city high-poverty areas, and other areas. During the 1981-1984 period studied, migration patterns of both the poor and nonpoor consistently reinforced pre-existing poverty conc…
Natural resources and persistent rural poverty
A general framework relating rural poverty to natural resource extraction and production is proposed. Five natural resource use regimes, differentiated by the relationship of the national economy to local natural resources, are identified: subsistence resource use, commercially exploited open access resources, small holdings, industrial ownership of resources, and public ownership of resources. These use regimes variously affect the royalty/groun…
Socioeconomic Heterogeneity of Mining-Dependent Counties1
Recent typologies of U.S. counties differentiated by sustenance base suggest that mining-dependent counties are characterized by levels of socioeconomic well-being slightly above national averages. However, striking regional differences in well-being among mining-dependent counties are masked when such counties are considered as a single category. Comparison with nonmetropolitan nonmining-dependent counties in the same states reveals that the dif…
