Abstract

Studies of poverty relief in the industrialised world typically focus on the role of the state. On the other hand, discussion of social security in less-developed countries often focuses on the role of private rather than public safety nets (see, for example, Ahmad et al., 1991). Private, or ‘inter-household’, transfers may significantly change consumption possibilities. Townsend (1994), for example, finds changes in household consumption in three poor Indian villages to be little related to changes in the households’ own incomes or other relevant characteristics, once having controlled for average village consumption. The implication is that households within the villages provide substantial support to one another.
