农村低收入家庭面临的经济波动是用经济福利连续体来解释的，这是一项综合措施，从八个具体方面描述了低收入家庭的情况，并确定了他们的经济运作水平。使用农村家庭发言纵向数据集和案例研究的方法，我们分析了五个农村，低收入家庭，包括一个农民工家庭的贫困法术。与欧洲妇女委员会一起审查了导致家庭陷入和摆脱贫困的生活环境和触发事件。健康问题和关系的变化是建立或改变家庭经济功能的重要触发事件，而支助网络则有助于减轻他们的困难。讨论了减轻农村贫困人口贫困的政策。
The economic volatility faced by rural low-income families is explained with an Economic Well-Being Continuum (EWC), a comprehensive measure which describes the circumstances of low-income families in eight specific dimensions and establishes their level of economic functioning. Using the Rural Families Speak longitudinal dataset and a case study approach, we analyzed the poverty spells of five rural, low-income families, including a migrant family. Life circumstances and trigger events that contribute to families' entry into and exit from poverty were examined with the EWC. Health issues and relationship changes were significant trigger events that established or altered the economic functioning of the families while support networks helped mitigate their hardships. Policies to alleviate poverty spells among the rural poor are discussed.
