Focuses broadly on vulnerability with respect to income and health. Considers also two pertinent contemporary challenges that impinge on household vulnerabiity namely, HIV/AIDS and food security. Notes that much of the source of the risk facing poor households lies beyond their capability to prevent shocks, and that often their coping strategies have adverse consequences for their future vulnerability and poverty status. 11/11/09 JOYD M V991 57762 57762
