Slum-based CAV networks : networking in unyielding poverty situations

Simba, Amon (avtor), Braune, Eric (avtor), Dabić, Marina (avtor)

Over a billion of the world's population reside in slums. However, the configurations of their social and structural ties in these environments remain unsubstantiated. Drawing on a psychosociological rational choice perspective, we introduce theoreti- cal explanations distinguishing slum dwellers' behavior, actions, and attitudes in community asset voucher (CAV) networks. Regression and equation modeling results, based on 19,892 slum dwellers' CAV transactions, reveal intersecting socio-economic dynamics suggesting that twenty-five percent (25%) of these dwellers are entrepreneurially-minded. They leverage CAVs for con- sumption and enterprise purposes. They also time when to transact in their slum-based CAV networks. Their central position indicates that they influence CAV transactions. But seventy-five percent (75%) of these dwellers are passive. They accept that they cannot change their seemingly unyielding poverty situation; hence, they only receive and use CAVs for consumption purposes. This stark contrast in behavior and attitude carries academic, economic, and social ramifications.
