<strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>dustrial workers <strong>in</strong> the case <strong>of</strong> urban<br />
poverty l<strong>in</strong>e & agricultural labourers<br />
<strong>in</strong> the case <strong>of</strong> rural poverty l<strong>in</strong>e. The<br />
updated poverty l<strong>in</strong>es were Rs. 363.96 for<br />
rural areas, Rs. 551.72 for urban areas <strong>and</strong><br />
Rs. 416.15 as the comb<strong>in</strong>ed poverty l<strong>in</strong>e.<br />
Table 5.15 presents the estimates <strong>in</strong><br />
terms <strong>of</strong> <strong>in</strong>come poverty. The head count<br />
ratio for <strong>HIV</strong> households (30.07) is much<br />
more than that for non-<strong>HIV</strong> households<br />
(9.82). The poor households have a<br />
bigger household size than the nonpoor.<br />
In the present sample the non-<br />
<strong>HIV</strong> households have a bigger family<br />
size as compared to <strong>HIV</strong> households.<br />
The reason for smaller household size<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>HIV</strong> households could be many. It<br />
could be related to <strong>in</strong>fected members<br />
<strong>of</strong> the household deliberately avoid<strong>in</strong>g<br />
progeny, s<strong>in</strong>ce they are <strong>of</strong>ten advised to<br />
do so by the counsellors. It could also<br />
be related to deaths <strong>in</strong> the family.<br />
