Poverty is pronounced deprivation in well-being, and comprises many dimensions. It includes low incomes and the

inability to acquire the basic goods and services necessary for survival with dignity. Poverty also encompasses low

Effects of Poverty

£ Crime Existence

MLS 2G-GROUP 4 12

It’s unquestionable that crime ranks high among the

effects of poverty, and those impoverished

neighborhoods or entire cities show the same problems

with uneducated adults and kids that nurture more

unemployment and crime, and then leading to chronic,

long-lasting poverty.

Effects of Poverty£ Child Labor

Ever since the 1960s, the share of

children affected by poverty has only

got bigger and bigger. Children are

those who have the least choice and

ability to change what happens to them.

There isn’t much they can do to help

their families, nor should they have to.

Until they can stand firmly on their two

legs, usually by the age of 6, then they

can be enrolled willy-nilly in child labor.
