Generational Poverty
Limited mobility and opportunity passed down over decades.
Context
Systemic barriers create cycles of poverty that span generations. Lack of access to education, capital, and networks makes upward mobility nearly impossible.
How It Shows Up
- Limited educational attainment and skill development
- Poor health outcomes and reduced life expectancy
- Housing insecurity and substandard living conditions
- Difficulty accessing credit and capital for entrepreneurship
- Children inheriting economic disadvantages of parents
