ONE DECADE OF RURAL POVERTY IN THE WORLD: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS
Keywords:
Rural, Poverty, BibliometricAbstract
Poverty by territory is classified into urban and rural poverty, with rural areas in many countries experiencing higher poverty levels. Rural poverty arises from diverse factors, leading to varying findings across studies. This research analyzes the development of rural poverty studies over the last decade (2012–2022) and examines word co-occurrence patterns within that literature. Using a bibliometric method, data were collected through Publish or Perish based on selected keywords, followed by data screening, bibliometric mapping, visualization, and interpretation. The analysis shows that publication trends on rural poverty fluctuated, with the highest number of studies appearing in 2021 (7 articles or 13.73%). Citation trends peaked for articles published in 2015 (299 citations or 14.18%). Vosviewer’s co-occurrence mapping identified five thematic clusters related to rural poverty, encompassing concepts such as microfinance, food security, climate change, water, vulnerability, energy poverty, rural households, and income inequality. These findings offer insights for shaping rural poverty alleviation policies. However, the study’s broad, cross-country scope presents a limitation; future research could focus on a single country. Additionally, the use of general keywords (“rural poverty”) suggests an opportunity for more targeted analyses using specific terms, such as government programs for rural poverty reduction.References
