This study examines the polarization of profit sharing in paddy cultivation in the tradition of the people of Aceh as an effort to alleviate poverty. This study, as the empirical or juridical sociological legal research, examines the behavior of law or operation of law in society. The study uses fiqh muamalah approach and obtains data through interviews and literature study. This study concludes that the pattern of profit sharing on the cultivation of paddy fields is categorized into a muzāra'ah aqd, which has rules specified in fiqh muamalah and promotes mutual assistance. However, traditionally, the people of West Aceh, Pidie, and Aceh Jaya utilizing leasing in managing paddy fields tend not to fully operate in accordance with the muzāra'ah aqd. This is due to the operational costs needed for the management of the fields have to be provided by the tenant farmers without financial contributions from the landowners at all. This method can easily allow the landowners to exploit the labor of tenant farmers as the tenants do not have other options aside from cultivating the land. As a result, tenant farmers find it difficult to get out of the shackles of poverty. Therefore, it takes effort to help the farmers out of poverty. It is expected that the government plays a role in the forms of the provision of aids such as seeds, fertilizers, medicines, harvesting machines, and rice threshers, with the goal to reduce expenditure costs of management and thus, the farming revenue will increase and farmers' well-being will be achieved.

AbstractChildren and young people's (CYP) life chances depend heavily on family resources. This paper reports a rapid review of qualitative/mixed method studies about Universal Credit undertaken with CYP in the UK; subsequently expanded to include additional descriptors of economic disadvantage. Sixteen studies were reviewed; narrative synthesis was used to explore themes. Most recruited CYP with experience of economic disadvantage; none explicitly reported perspectives of CYP experiencing disability or rurality. Findings show growing up in poverty has significant, negative impacts on health and well‐being, causing feelings of exclusion, shame and unfairness; raising important questions about the adequacy of welfare support in the UK.

The issue of poverty has been faced for a long time. In Indonesia today, East Java is the most significant contributor to the poor people. With various policies that the government has implemented, the issue of poverty remains unsolved. This study, therefore, discusses the causality relationship between education, inequality, and unemployment toward poverty in East Java. Using secondary data from the Central Statistics Agency of Indonesia (BPS), we estimated dynamic panel data of cities and regencies in East Java from 2012 to 2017. Employing the Granger causality approach, it was found that education has a one-way relationship with inequality and a two-way relationship with unemployment. In addition, poverty has a one-way relationship with all the variables used. In the long term, education has a negative correlation with poverty. According to our findings, both the government and the private sector need to expand more job opportunities and improve education for the poor as both sectors significantly reduce poverty in the long term.

The level of income can be directly inferred from the level of education, making education an important variable as a key determinant of better livelihoods and poverty alleviation. However, in most developing countries education is not accessible to all. In Ghana - although basic education is largely free - for secondary education this was not the case until recently. Hence, the high tuition fees and other scholarly expenses continue to be a burden on parents and guardians. The problem was further compounded when government subsidies to upper secondary institutions were delayed. It is not surprising that the government has decided to provide this service as a public good to the benefit of all. In the 2017/2018 academic year the government began an educational reform policy to fully absorb the cost of Senior High School and vocational education for any student who qualifies. Seeing this as a form of benefit to households, this study provides an analysis of the effect of the reform on household poverty and inequality. Analysis is based on the Ghana Microsimulation Model which has the Ghana Living Standards Survey - Round 6 as its base input data. Results provide policy makers with some good ex-ante evidence on the extent to which the reform is contributing to lessening the burden of vulnerable households.
