Urban Poverty and Livelihoods

By Dr Athing Ningshen and Mrs Ningson Primrose

The urban below poverty line (BPL) families residing in certain pockets of the city of Imphal are particularly vulnerable and struggle to gain access to services and opportunities to improve their livelihoods. They generally possess low skills and lack the level of education required for the better paid jobs in the formal sector. Working in the informal sector are the only means for their survival. This has led to a rapid growth of the informal sector in the Imphal city.
