摘要：This paper presents the empirical findings on the participatory poverty and its causes among rural household in Bahawalpur Division, Punjab (Pakistan). It is based on primary data collected through household survey. Multistage random sampling technique was used for data collection and 600 household from two districts of Bahawalpur division were selected. An ordinal Logit regression approach was used to estimate the factors affecting the participatory poverty of rural household. Participation in Punchiat, relation with local governance, access to announce price by Government (for inputs) and access to support price by government (for outputs) were used as the proxy of participatory poverty. The estimates revealed that gender of head of household, household accessories, assets and property, average education of household, occupation of agriculture, household income and occupation of services reduce the participatory poverty among rural households.
