Overview

Multidimensional analysis examines poverty drivers in SAARC economies, revealing implications for policy improvements.

Key Points

  • The aim is to investigate the drivers of poverty reduction in the SAARC region and assess factors impacting inequality.
  • Analyzed data from seven SAARC countries (2000-2022) using econometric techniques: FMOLS and Difference GMM.
  • Employed variance decomposition and causality analyses to explore long-term poverty dynamics.
  • Examined relationships between governance quality, financial inclusion, and gender-based inequality.
  • FMOLS results indicated that poverty decreases with higher gender parity in education and labor markets (negative correlation).
  • Difference GMM revealed that poor governance and income inequality significantly contribute to increased poverty (positive correlation).
  • Findings suggest interventions in financial systems and governance can improve poverty outcomes and align with SDGs 1, 5, 10, and 16.
