Poverty is often a cycle, an oppressive cloud that hangs over generations, expanded by a community’s inability to offer living wage jobs, affordable housing and comprehensive health care, an expert says.
Society’s youngest often carry the mental trauma that comes with not knowing if their home will be heated in the winter or their bellies full in the summer.
When poverty cycles by generations, that means it takes longer for a society to address the poverty in their communities, and more children are likely to grow up to have children living in poverty as well.
