On 30 January 1933, President Hindenburg offered the

Chancellorship, the highest position in the cabinet of ministers,
to Hitler. By now the Nazis had managed to rally the
conservatives to their cause. Having acquired power, Hitler set
out to dismantle the structures of democratic rule. A mysterious
fire that broke out in the German Parliament building in
February facilitated his move. The Fire Decree of 28 February
1933 indefinitely suspended civic rights like freedom of speech,
press and assembly that had been guaranteed by the Weimar
constitution. Then he turned on his archenemies, the
Communists, most of whom were hurriedly packed off to the
newly established concentration camps.

Vulnerability to poverty is a measure, which describes the greater

probability of certain communities (say, members of a backward
caste) or individuals (such as a widow or a physically
handicapped person) of becoming, or remaining, poor in the
coming years. Vulnerability is determined by the options
available to different communities for finding an alternative living
in terms of assets, education, health and job opportunities.
Further, it is analysed on the basis of the greater risks these
groups face at the time of natural disasters (earthquakes,
tsunami), terrorism etc. Additional analysis is made of their
social and economic ability to handle these risks. In fact,
vulnerability describes the greater probability of being more
adversely affected than other people when bad time comes for
everybody, whether a flood or an earthquake or simply a fall in
the availability of jobs!

18.1. What is vulnerability of poverty?

18.2.In what ways the vulnerability is determined?
