	Cycle of poverty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In economics and sociology, the cycle of poverty or the poverty cycle is a social phenomenon whereby poverty-stricken individuals exhibit a tendency to remain poor throughout their lifespan and in many cases across generations.
		The cycle of poverty has been described as a catch-22 and a feedback loop, as it occurs because the financial resources necessary to get out of poverty, namely productive capital, which some critics believe can only be obtained if the individual has financial resources in the first place.
		The cycle of poverty is often cited by opponents of capitalism, such as communists, anarchists, and others as an argument against the capitalist system.

	Equal Access - The Challenges - Poverty
		Poverty is a deprivation of liberty reflected, not just in terms of Gross Domestic Product (GDP), but also in inadequate access to a range of services such as health, education and security.
		Many in the developing world are caught in a cycle of poverty and lack of education that is the root of devastating, endemic problems such as high infant mortality rates, disempowerment of women and girls and the spread of HIV/AIDS.
		Poverty comes in many guises and has numerous faces, but one factor is constant—people in poverty want to find ways to get out of it.

	Urban Poverty Alleviation
		Relative poverty is defined as the minimum economic, social, political and cultural goods needed to maintain an acceptable way of life in a particular society.
		Poverty essentially has three closely interrelated aspects: “poverty of money”, “poverty of access” and “poverty of power.” These make the working, living and social environments of the poor extremely insecure and severely limit the options available to them to improve their lives.
		The extent and nature of poverty, as defined by its three aspects and its impact on marginalizing and alienating segments of the urban society, are difficult to measure.

	Fourth World Conference on Women, Beijing 1995 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Poverty has various manifestations, including lack of income and productive resources sufficient to ensure a sustainable livelihood; hunger and malnutrition; ill health; limited or lack of access to education and other basic services; increasing morbidity and mortality from illness; homelessness and inadequate housing; unsafe environments; and social discrimination and exclusion.
		Poverty may be caused by an economic recession that results in loss of livelihood or by disaster or conflict.
		Women's poverty is directly related to the absence of economic opportunities and autonomy, lack of access to economic resources, including credit, land ownership and inheritance, lack of access to education and support services and their minimal participation in the decision-making process.

	TakingITGlobal - Panorama - Breaking the cycle of poverty
		Poverty is not having a job, is fear for the future, living one day at a time.
		So poverty is a call to action -- for the poor and the wealthy alike -- a call to change the world so that many more may have enough to eat, adequate shelter, access to education and health, protection from violence, and a voice in what happens in their communities.
		As poverty has many dimensions, it has to be looked at through a variety of indicators -- levels of income and consumption, social indicators, and now increasingly indicators of vulnerability to risks and of socio/political access.

	BBC NEWS \| Business \| Breaking the cycle of child poverty
		Poverty is increasingly seen in relative terms: it is about not having access to what others in your society take for granted.
		The key factors which suggest that children will fail to break free of the poverty cycle include: missing periods of school, being in care, being known to the police, misuse of drugs, teenage parenthood, and being out of education, employment or training between the ages of 16 and 18.
		Child poverty is a social injustice, it is wasteful and it carries huge costs, both for the children involved and for society.

	Culture of poverty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The culture of poverty concept is a social theory explaining the cycle of poverty.
		Based on the concept that the poor have a unique value system, the culture of poverty theory suggests the poor remain in poverty because of their adaptations to the burdens of poverty.
		He argued that although the burdens of poverty were systemic and therefore imposed upon these members of society, they led to the formation of an autonomous subculture as children were socialized into behaviors and attitudes that perpetuated their inability to escape the underclass.

	World Hunger Notes --Southern Africa: Cycle of Poverty Leads to Recurring Crises by IRIN
		As long as most Southern African children are born into desperate poverty, suffer malnutrition and ill-health, and have access to inadequate health services and education, or none at all, neither they nor the region itself can hope to fulfil their potential," said the report.
		Malawi, with a largely rural and poverty-stricken population, was an example of the "fragility of livelihoods" in the region, and of the likelihood of a cycle of recurring crises.
		Greater government and donor commitment to addressing HIV/AIDS was needed, and Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers should take a pro-poor perspective that not only supported the livelihoods of the poor, but also made sufficient provision for investment in services for children, so that the intergenerational cycle of poverty could be broken.
