Due to the lack of progress in reducing the rate of poverty in Ethiopia, a map of marginality was created for the region to survey the state of poverty. [4] In Marginality as a Root Cause of Poverty: Identifying Marginality Hotspots in Ethiopia, Gatzweiler defines marginality as "an involuntary position and condition of an individual or group at the margins of social, political, economic ...

Especially among the poverty-stricken rural population, the livelihood of most Ethiopians depends on agriculture. Although it is a country with "significant agricultural potential because of its water resources, its fertile land areas, and its large labor pool," this potential goes largely undeveloped. [ 7 ]

Famines in Ethiopia have occurred periodically throughout the history of the country. The economy was based on subsistence agriculture , with an aristocracy that consumed the surplus. Due to a number of causes, the peasants have lacked incentives to either improve production or to store their excess crops; as a result, they lived from harvest ...
The depth of poverty is the 'gap' (G) between poverty and the poverty line (M1 = H x A x G). [12] M2: This measures reflects the incidence, intensity, depth of poverty and inequality among the poor (the squared gap, S) (M2 = H x A x S). [13] M0 can be calculated with ordinal and cardinal data. Cardinal data are required to calculate M1 and M2. [14]
Solutions or plans for reduction of poverty often fail precisely because the context of a region's poverty is removed and local conditions are not considered. The specific ways in which the poor and poverty are recognized frame them in a negative light. In development literature, poverty becomes something to be eradicated, or, attacked. [20]
The depth of poverty is the average 'gap' (G) between the level of deprivation poor people experience and the poverty cut-off line. M1 = H x A x G. Adjusted Squared Poverty Gap (M2): This measure reflects the incidence, intensity, and depth of poverty, as well as inequality among the poor (captured by the squared gap, S). M2 = H x A x S.
