Poverty Cycle

What is the Cycle of Poverty?

The cycle of poverty has been described as a phenomenon where your families become trapped in poverty for generations. Because they have no or limited access to critical resources, such as;

-          Education

-          Financial services

Subsequent generations are also improvised

There are multiple cycles of poverty- based on, among other things,

-          Economic

-          Social

-          Spiritual

-          Geographical factors

Many cycles overflag or perpetuate new cycles and therefore any attempt to depict the cycle of poverty will be far more simplistic than realistic.

The figure below shows- in very simplistic terms- how a cycle of poverty related to hunger keeps a person or household poor in one of the world’s developing countries.
