Abstract

In order to face the challenge of youth poverty, the main focus should be on facilitating the access of the NEET population to quality education and decent job opportunities. Considering that this group of people is a potential threat to the country's achievement of one of the most important goals of sustainable development, i.e. ending poverty through decent work and economic growth, and they turn the young population into a challenge and not an opportunity in the economy, Examining the impact they have on poverty and the impact they receive from poverty is very important. In this regard, the aim of this article is to investigate the simultaneous relationship between household poverty and population phenomenon in the urban and rural society of Iran in 1401. For this purpose, using the detailed data of urban and rural households' expenditure and income plan, the poverty line was first calculated based on the multidimensional poverty approach and poor households were identified. Then, the households that have demographic phenomena were also identified. The results of the estimation of the research model using the two-stage least squares method (2SLS) showed that in urban areas, population phenomenon and poverty both have a positive and significant effect on each other. Unlike in urban areas, the results of the estimation of the research model in rural areas indicated that the population phenomenon does not have a significant effect on household poverty, but on the other hand, household poverty has a positive and significant effect on it.
