 Security and Vulnerability in Livelihood SystemsSusanna Davies
Chapter 2 in Adaptable Livelihoods, 1996, pp 15-44 from Palgrave Macmillan Abstract: Abstract This chapter sets out the conceptual framework for the analysis of the data presented in this book. Five concepts are used in its construction: 1. livelihood systems and security within them, encompassing a broader range of factors than household food systems and security to explain how and why producers pursue particular mixes of strategies to confront food insecurity; 2. entitlements to explain different sources of food and the range of calls on them within households and livelihood systems; 3. vulnerability to explain the nature and intensity of food and livelihood insecurity; 4. resilience and sensitivity, useful in analysing changes in levels and intensity of vulnerability to food insecurity within different Sahelian livelihood systems; 5. livelihood-system diversity to account for variation in the nature and intensity of vulnerability, depending on the different ways in which people acquire access to food.
