Productivity
Productivity is an average measure of the efficiency of production - i.e. output per unit of input. The production performance can be measured as an average or an absolute income.
Productivity is a crucial factor in production performance of firms/ economic activities. Increased productivity helps raising living standards because more real income improves people's ability to purchase (i.e. higher purchasing power). Productivity growth also helps businesses to be more profitable.

Strategies for Removing the Trap
Expanding Opportunities (i.e. promoting sustainable livelihoods)
Facilitating Empowerment (enhancing access to services)
Ensuring Protection (both covariant and idiosyncratic - need to be addressed)
1104/19/23
A livelihood is sustainable when it can cope with and recover from stresses and shocks, maintain or enhance its capabilities or assets, while not undermining the natural resource base
Livelihood strategiesReduced reliance on day-labourCreating ‘livelihood ladders’Enhanced regular income from market-based IGAs
Livelihood outcomeo More income & increased well-beingo Reduced vulnerability & improved food securityo More sustainable use of NR base
Key questions: What will be transforming structures and process?What will be role of government/private sector/MFIs?

Living remains no more a daily struggle Attaining qualitative economic security. It’s a result of many
small qualitative changes in livelihoods New livelihood strategies have to contribute in increasing the
purchasing power of the households Considering heterogeneity, need further stratification within the
extreme poor Expanding economic opportunities to create ‘livelihood ladders’ Promoting high earning livelihood strategy Identifying and exploiting new income generating activities and
making markets work for the extreme poor Growth of homestead economy as a source of cash income Acquiring new skill to enhance the scale of operation

Moving Forward

• Mind-set of development agencies yet to be re-oriented toward addressing the bottom poor. Besides, they are not technically and financially equipped to address the bottom poor issues. Furthermore, they do not have sufficient trained staff to handle the issues of bottom poor.
• Absence of targeted, long-term, flexible programme for the bottom-poor
• Both government and non-government agencies are shying away from the poor of vulnerable disaster prone areas.

Conclusion PKSF attempts to expand growth-oriented market-
based activities for the poorest
Multidimensional aspect of poverty must be addressed
Making sufficient investment for enhancing human and social capital
A more focused and programmatic approach has to be undertaken
Expanding employment opportunities in both formal and informal sector is crucial
Identify and expand market linkages for the poor
