Poverty
What is it?
01
Poverty can be defined as “a chronic and debilitating condition that results from multiple adverse synergistic risk factors and affects the mind, body, and soul” (Jensen, 2009).
Types of Poverty
02
Situational Poverty
Generational Poverty
Absolute Poverty
Relative Poverty
Urban Poverty
Rural Poverty
Situational Poverty
- caused by a sudden event or crisis such as a natural disaster, divorce, or health problem and it is often a temporary situation
- Students may experience just a period of poverty or lasting effects.
Generational Poverty
- occurs when families are born into poverty and continue to live in poverty over multiple generations because they are not equipped with the tools to escape their situation
- frequently occurs as a cycle
Absolute Poverty
- Absolute Poverty concerns a scarcity of resources for shelter, food, and water which forces families to focus on day-to-day survival
Relative Poverty
- Relative Poverty arises as a family’s income becomes insufficient to meet the society’s average standard of living.
Urban Poverty
- Urban Poverty transpires in areas of at least 50,000 people that deal with inadequate large-city services.
Rural Poverty
- Rural Poverty ensues in nonmetropolitan areas with populations below 50,000 and is caused by the presence of single-guardian households and lack of access to services, support for disabilities, and quality education opportunities.
