cycle of poverty

The cycle of poverty is a pattern where individuals or families remain in poverty over generations. It often starts with limited access to quality education, healthcare, and stable jobs, which makes it hard to earn enough to meet basic needs. Without resources or opportunities, it’s difficult to break out of poverty, and the cycle continues as future generations face the same challenges. Factors like lack of affordable housing, systemic inequality, and insufficient social support can reinforce this cycle, making it a persistent issue that requires coordinated efforts to address.
