The poverty cycle
Look over the poverty cycle diagram and reflet on the overall idea that you get from seeing this diagram. If we begin at the "family in poverty" heading we end up with children growing up in poverty as a result of the family being unable to provide for the child. As a result of this the child may be sick more often, have less food and warm clothing and safe housing anda s such will be disadvantaged when it comes to education. As a result of a lower level of education the child now struggles to get a job when older and as such continuous on within the washing machine cycle of poverty.
