Abstract

A conceptual framework showing the households and social implications of community low income was elicited from a qualitative and quantitative study of 75 households from a heterogeneous low income population of Maliasili Street; the study was designed to increase understanding of the experience of low community income in order to contribute to its solution. According to the respondents' description, the experience of low income is characterized by two categories of manifestations, i.e., the core characteristics of the phenomenon and a related set of actions and reactions by the household. This second category of manifestations is considered here as a first level of consequences of low income. These consequences at the household level often interact with the larger environment to which the household belongs. On a chronic basis, the resulting interactions have certain implications that are tentatively labeled social implications in this paper. Their examination suggests that important aspects of human development depend on households. It also raises questions concerning the nature of socially acceptable practices of vegetables are produced, and how such acceptability can be assessed. Guidelines to that effect are proposed.
