Abstract
This paper examines the factors associated with different areas of livelihood security
at the household level using simultaneous equation system. The approach is novel to
identify the targeted area of intervention to improve livelihood security level of poor
households. We have used extensive quantitative data on the outcome indicators of
livelihood security and suggested programme improvement for poverty reduction
based on evidences. An increasing number of organizations are now engaged in
collecting this type of data and so would be benefitted from the methodology and
analysis in this paper. The paper is organized including – introduction, methodology of
measuring the components of livelihood security (such as economic, food, health,
education and empowerment), and discussion of results followed by conclusions.
