This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured officially using poverty thresholds that vary by family size and composition. The document also outlines government assistance programs like Medicaid, Medicare, CHIP, and the Affordable Care Act, as well as initiatives like Promise Zones to help reduce poverty. Maps show higher poverty rates exist in more populated areas and cities.
Poverty in America is a slideshow final I did to bring awareness to the rising issue of Poverty for one of my Human Service classes. Again, I hope to demonstrate my ability and dedication.
This presentation focuses on American poverty. The presentation defines and addresses the issue of poverty in it's entirety as well as offers solutions to the problem.
This document discusses poverty in America through statistics and analysis on topics such as income inequality, wealth distribution, education disparities, the criminal justice system, and funding biases that disproportionately impact minority communities and the poor. It argues that current civil rights narratives and the majority of charitable resources focus on upper-middle class issues rather than addressing the systemic roots of poverty. The document advocates for connecting people, resources, and technology to better serve those in need.
The document discusses various ways to help address extreme poverty around the world. It notes that over 12% of people in the US live in poverty, compared to over 70% in Congo who suffer from malnutrition. While the US provides foreign aid, some of it has been misused or stolen by corrupt government officials in places like Afghanistan. The document proposes increasing education and awareness, encouraging donations even of small amounts, and investigating organizations working on issues like the IMF, World Bank, trade policies, and development programs in order to most effectively help reduce global poverty.
Poverty is a significant problem in Canada, affecting over 3 million people. Children are particularly impacted, as 1 in 5 children lives in poverty. Poverty costs the Canadian economy $72-84 billion annually in lost productivity and health care costs. Certain groups are more likely to experience poverty, including children, single parents, Indigenous peoples, recent immigrants, disabled individuals, and seniors. While some factors are outside an individual's control, poverty can be perpetuated by lack of access to education and good jobs, high costs of living, and inadequate social supports and welfare programs in Canada.
This document is a term paper submitted for an Introduction to Sociology course analyzing the social causes of poverty. It begins with an introduction and methodology section describing the focus groups and data collection process. The descriptive results section then analyzes various social factors that can contribute to poverty, such as overpopulation, lack of education, unemployment, corruption, poor governance, and natural disasters. It discusses how these economic, political, and external factors can create and perpetuate poverty. The paper concludes by discussing potential roles for society in helping to decrease poverty.
Child poverty is a serious issue globally. Over 1 billion children worldwide live in poverty without adequate shelter, water, health services, or immunization. Poverty negatively impacts children's development and health, with poor children being twice as likely to have stunted growth. Living in poverty also takes a psychological toll on children and parents, adding stress and sometimes leading to disrupted parenting. If child poverty is not addressed, it risks perpetuating an intergenerational cycle where the children of poor children become poor themselves, negatively impacting communities and societies. Addressing child poverty requires action and inspiration to change conditions for children worldwide.
Causes of poverty in world A Lecture by Mr Allah Dad Khan Former DG Agri Ext...Mr.Allah Dad Khan
The document discusses several factors that contribute to poverty in developing countries like Pakistan. These include subsistence farming cycles that cause periodic scarcity, natural disasters that destroy crops and infrastructure, poor governance, lack of education, unemployment, population growth, corruption, inequality, and environmental degradation. Developing countries often have limited resources to build resilience against these issues or support their populations when crises occur.

The document discusses several factors that contribute to poverty in developing countries like Pakistan. These include subsistence farming cycles that cause periodic scarcity, natural disasters that destroy crops and infrastructure, poor governance, lack of education, unemployment, population growth, corruption, inequality, and environmental degradation. Developing countries often have limited resources to build resilience against these issues or support their populations when crises occur.
Poverty is a multi-dimensional social phenomenon that involves the lack of basic needs such as food, water, sanitation, shelter, education, and health care. It is not only characterized by low income, but also by lack of access to opportunities, social exclusion, and lack of voice in decision making. Poverty can be defined and measured in both absolute and relative terms. Absolute poverty refers to a set standard for basic needs that is consistent over time and between locations, while relative poverty views poverty as dependent on social context and measures it relative to others in a population.
This document discusses the causes of poverty in Pakistan. It identifies several key causes, including unemployment, inflation, corruption, poor governance, overpopulation, a backward agricultural system, and child labor. Unemployment is a major issue, with over 30 million unemployed, and inflation is also a problem as prices have risen significantly. Corruption and unequal distribution of resources also contribute to poverty. Poor governance, law and order issues, a lack of education, and other factors perpetuate poverty in Pakistan.
Poverty is defined as a lack of material possessions necessary to live a decent quality of life. In the Philippines, over 22 million people, more than one-fifth of the population, live below the national poverty line. Poverty has negative impacts on health and development, as those living in poverty experience worse physical and mental health outcomes and are at higher risk for unhealthy behaviors. Poverty also affects children's growth and development both physically and cognitively. While some believe poverty can be overcome through hard work alone, reports show many Filipinos work hard yet remain in poverty due to unstable socioeconomic conditions.
The effectiveness of government policy in aiding impoverishedTammy Irwin-Smith
This document discusses government policies for aiding impoverished Americans. It addresses common myths and stereotypes about poverty, how poverty is defined, and the effectiveness of current and past welfare programs. While over $20 trillion has been spent on anti-poverty programs over 50 years, poverty levels remain largely unchanged. Current programs only partially address the issue and do not help people escape poverty long-term. Alternative approaches may be needed to make real progress on this complex social problem.
Corruption, lack of education, environmental degradation, lack of employment opportunities, armed conflicts, inequitable distribution of wealth and resources, overconsumption, greed, and an inequitable political system are listed as causes of poverty. Solutions proposed include creating good jobs, improving access to education and healthcare, raising wages, microfinancing, increasing transparency in government spending, and canceling national debts.
The document analyzes perspectives on poverty in Canada through a survey of over 1,000 Canadians. It identifies four main "schools of thought" or segments that Canadians fall into based on their views:
1) "Bootstrappers" believe people are poor due to laziness and poverty is avoidable through hard work.
2) "The Jaded" see poverty as trapping people but also believe the poor could escape it through effort.
3) "Personal Responsibility" sympathize with the poor but don't see assistance as a full solution and poverty as sometimes unavoidable.
4) "Sympathizers" strongly believe poverty is not a choice and the poor deserve help to escape their
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, models, and government policies to address it. It outlines how Campus Compact VISTAs can help build individual and community assets to enhance opportunities and reduce poverty. Causes mentioned include shifts in the economy, predatory lending, lack of affordable housing, limited education, low wages, income inequality, and lack of healthcare. Models of poverty discussed are absolute, relative, and situational/generational poverty. The document suggests VISTAs can support asset development through initiatives like financial literacy programs, tax preparation assistance, and education support.
Poverty is defined as lacking the financial resources and essentials for a minimum standard of living. Over 736 million people live in extreme poverty, surviving on less than $1.90 per day. Poverty is both a lack of income and access to necessities like healthcare, education, clean water and shelter. It often persists across generations as impoverished families cannot afford education or their children must work instead of attending school. Ending poverty requires addressing its underlying causes like lack of infrastructure, education, economic opportunity and natural disasters. Alleviating poverty sustainably may involve improving access to resources and making lives self-sufficient.
The document discusses poverty globally and in specific regions and countries. It begins by defining poverty and providing statistics on its global prevalence. It then examines poverty levels and causes in developing countries, Haiti, Africa, and the United States. Several charitable organizations that provide aid to reduce poverty are also mentioned. Theories like conflict theory and structural functionalism are used to explain causes and functions of poverty in societies.
This document discusses poverty, including its causes, effects, and the poverty cycle. It defines absolute and relative poverty. The causes of poverty discussed include theories that the poor have little concern for the future or engage in self-defeating behaviors. The effects of poverty on children include higher rates of health problems, accidents, and missed school. Poverty also increases stress levels in families. The cycle of poverty refers to how poverty can span generations as those in poverty lack the resources to escape it.
Poverty is a growing concern in Pakistan, where nearly one-quarter of the population lives below the poverty line. Some key causes of poverty in Pakistan include lack of education, materialism, large-scale imports, and division of agricultural land among heirs. Effects of poverty include increased spread of diseases due to lack of access to healthcare, hygiene, and nutrition. Solutions to poverty require economic and political changes like ensuring basic rights to shelter, food, water, and equality between men and women.
Poverty exists throughout Canada, though it is most prevalent in British Columbia. Canada has a high rate of child poverty compared to other developed nations. While Canada's overall poverty rate has decreased slightly in recent decades, many individuals and families still struggle with poverty, homelessness, and lack of access to education and jobs. Children are especially impacted by poverty when their parents face economic hardship. More efforts are needed to help vulnerable groups meet basic needs and improve their socioeconomic conditions.
This document discusses different ways that economists measure wealth and poverty, including income, assets, and socioeconomic metrics. It focuses on examining wealth and poverty in terms of income, which is readily available data. Income inequality is the underlying issue in poverty, especially in developed nations. The document defines poverty as "the state of one who lacks a usual or socially acceptable amount of money or material possessions." Poverty can be a relative condition depending on social and economic context.
The document discusses poverty in Pakistan, defining it as a lack of resources to afford basic needs. It provides statistics showing that about 58.7 million Pakistanis, or 1/3 of the population, live below the poverty line, with the highest rates in Balochistan and Sindh. Common causes of poverty in Pakistan are identified as overpopulation, unemployment, lack of education, poor government policies, inflation, corruption, and political instability. The government has implemented some programs to address poverty but more efforts are still needed such as job creation and skills training.
This document discusses poverty, including its various definitions, types, and measurements. It defines poverty as a lack of basic human needs like food, shelter, and clothing. There are two main types of poverty - absolute and relative. Poverty is commonly measured using indicators like the headcount ratio, poverty gap index, and squared poverty gap index. The document also outlines some characteristics and impacts of poverty like effects on health, hunger, education, housing, and violence. It provides statistics on global poverty and discusses strategies for reducing poverty.
Campus California partners with organizations to deploy volunteers to developing countries in order to establish sustainable resources that improve economic and environmental conditions. While poverty levels have dropped significantly in Latin America in recent years, 80 million people still live below the extreme poverty line of $2.50 per day. This level of poverty limits access to sanitation, healthcare, and education.
Causes of-poverty-presentation-on-poverty-poverty-in-pakistan by salim sahilazanahmadlangah
Poverty is a widespread global issue, with over 3 billion people living on less than $2 per day. Absolute poverty refers to a lack of access to basic needs, while relative poverty means having a low income compared to others in one's society. Poverty traps people in a cycle of poor health, lack of education, and lost opportunities that is then passed on to future generations. Some of the major causes of poverty include lack of economic growth, political instability, natural disasters, and lack of access to education, healthcare, and other resources. Addressing poverty requires tackling its complex social and economic roots.
The document discusses definitions and measures of poverty. It explains that the international poverty line is generally $1.25 per day but definitions and standards vary between countries and regions. For example, in the US the poverty line for a single person is $11,161 per year while in India the rural poverty line is about $7.50 per month. The document also discusses how poverty is measured nationally based on household surveys and how poverty can create a cycle of disadvantage through issues like poor health, lack of education, and low-paying work.
This document discusses social issues in the UK, including social class, poverty, health, and the welfare state. It provides definitions and theories of social class in the UK, traditionally dividing society into working, middle, and upper classes. It then discusses newer theories that argue society is divided along lines of financial empowerment or living in poverty versus security. The document also examines poverty and its causes, the UK welfare state and benefits system, and health and social inequalities related to factors like low income, unemployment, education, housing, and lifestyle choices. It analyzes government policies and actions aimed at reducing these inequalities.
This document discusses poverty in America, defining generational and situational poverty. Generational poverty is being in poverty for two generations or longer due to socioeconomic factors, while situational poverty is for a shorter time due to life circumstances like death, illness, or divorce. Schools and businesses often operate from middle-class norms not understood by those in generational poverty. To move out of poverty requires education, relationships, finding a vision or goal, developing key relationships, or discovering a talent or skill. Poverty negatively impacts children's development and life outcomes. Relationships are key to achieving success and overcoming the effects of generational poverty.
Poverty deprives people of basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothes. It is caused by a lack of education, natural disasters, lack of money, greed, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and addictions like drugs and alcohol. The harsh truth is that over 3 billion people live on less than $2.50 a day, 1 in 2 children live in poverty, and 22,000 children die daily due to poverty. Solutions include reducing war, increasing government assistance, and promoting education and opportunities through donations and aid.

Poverty is defined as being deprived of basic needs like food, water, shelter, and clothes. It is caused by factors such as lack of education, natural disasters, lack of money, lack of opportunities, overpopulation, and addiction. Poverty leads to high mortality rates, increased health risks, hampers children's development, inhibits education, and increases conflict. Globally, over 1 billion people live on less than $1.25 per day, 22,000 children die daily due to poverty, and 8 million die annually from lack of food and nutrition. The majority of the world's hungry population lives in just 7 countries including India.

It then discusses concepts related to leadership, governance, and the role of civil society in giving voice to the poor and holding governments accountable. The document poses the question of whether and how organizations can work with governments while still maintaining the ability to hold them accountable. It outlines an activity for participants to brainstorm ideas on limitations to cooperation between civil society and government.
The Experience of Poverty in an Unequal Society - Sarah WelfordOxfam GB
Sarah Welford, Policy and Parliamentary Officer from Poverty Alliance, talks about the experience of poverty in today's unequal society.
The Whose Economy? seminars, organised by Oxfam Scotland and the University of the West of Scotland, brought together experts to look at recent changes in the Scottish economy and their impact on Scotland's most vulnerable communities.
Held over winter and spring 2010-11 in Edinburgh, Inverness, Glasgow and Stirling, the series posed the question of what economy is being created in Scotland and, specifically, for whom?

Poverty is defined as subpar living conditions compared to the surrounding area and is subject to change over time. The US defines poverty through an annual ratio issued by the Census Bureau that accounts for inflation but has not been substantially updated since the 1960s. It is calculated using USDA and food expenditure data. Critics argue it does not adequately capture factors like assets and costs of living. There are differences between Democratic and Republican views on how to address poverty, with Democrats favoring more government assistance programs and Republicans preferring less government intervention and believing individuals are responsible for their economic situations. Current policies under the Republican-led House propose deep cuts to programs assisting low-income Americans.
Social class is defined based on wealth, power, and prestige. There are generally considered to be six social classes in the United States ranging from the upper class with incomes over $1,000,000 to the underclass with incomes under $10,000. One's social class impacts many life outcomes such as health, behaviors, marriage, and likelihood of incarceration. While social mobility is possible, it is often limited between generations and for disadvantaged groups such as women and racial minorities.
The document discusses food insecurity and the working poor in America. It finds that 48.1 million Americans experience food insecurity, including 6.9 million households with very low food security. Food insecurity disproportionately impacts households with children, especially those headed by single parents, as well as black and Hispanic households. The working poor, who work at least 27 weeks per year but remain in poverty, make up 13% of black and Hispanic workers and 16% of part-time workers. The document also profiles a boy named Elias who attends a community center where most families live close to the poverty line and struggle with adequate nutrition.
Celebrations of the United Nations Day of Families organized by Universal Peace Federation chapters, May 15, 2011
The Universal Peace Federation affirms the value of the family as the core unit of society. The family has formed the basis for communities, societies and civilizations throughout the ages. Virtually all the world’s religions teach the sacred value of marriage and family. The family is the school of love. It is also the school of virtue, ethics and citizenship.
The cohesion and stability of the family are prerequisites for a healthy and stable society. Conversely, the breakdown of the family contributes to a wide range of social problems. By strengthening the family, we can build a stronger base of social capital that will enhance the overall quality of life for everyone.
The natural family is grounded in marriage, the cornerstone of the family. Children benefit from having loving parents, a mother and father, who are committed to the well-being of their sons and daughters. There is no greater joy and no greater responsibility than that of raising boys and girls to become mature, socially-engaged and successful men and women. This is the role and responsibility of parents and grandparents.
Traditional marriage and family are being challenged in a variety of ways at this time in history, by poverty, migration, displacement, urbanization, conflict, disease, etc. In addition, some question the value of traditional marriage and family. Others seek to redefine them. Despite these challenges, men and women the world over still aspire to build strong, loving, lasting marriages and, as parents, to raise children who prosper and flourish.
The document discusses different types of natural disasters and their impacts. It notes that earthquakes are the deadliest natural disasters, killing many through collapsing buildings and fires. It also states that flooding is the most expensive type of disaster, with flood damage costs reaching hundreds of billions of euros annually. Additionally, at least 500 million people live near active volcanoes, which can bury areas with ash and lava during eruptions.
The document discusses different aspects and definitions of poverty. It defines poverty as not having enough money to meet basic needs like food, shelter and clothing. The World Bank further describes poverty as hunger, lack of shelter, inability to access healthcare or education. The document also discusses different methods used to measure and define poverty, including relative poverty based on income comparisons between regions, and absolute poverty based on minimum calorie intake and consumption levels. It notes several groups that are most vulnerable to poverty in India, including scheduled tribes, casual and agricultural laborers, and scheduled castes. Several government schemes aimed at poverty alleviation are also outlined.
The document discusses different perspectives on poverty and proposes that people are not inherently poor but are made poor due to faults in existing systems. It argues that poverty is a result of lack of education, awareness, and proper leadership. It calls for reforms to systems and leadership with visions for nation building to empower people and utilize a country's potential for development.
The document discusses the effects of poverty on childhood language and literacy development. It notes that language is key to literacy learning and that exposure to words helps develop knowledge. Poverty can negatively impact early language skills and language stimulation children receive. Research shows a gap in the number of words, variety of words, and time spent with reading that children from low-income homes hear compared to children from higher-income homes. This language gap can be detected as early as 18 months of age. Strategies used in high-performing, high-poverty schools include effective leadership, engaging parents and the community, having high expectations, focusing on reading, aligning the curriculum, using data, building instructional capacity, and optimizing time
The document discusses the issue of unequal funding between schools in wealthy versus impoverished areas in the United States. It notes that schools in low-income areas often receive less funding than schools in wealthier districts, due to reliance on local property taxes for school funding. This creates inequities where low-income students have fewer resources and opportunities compared to their wealthier peers, perpetuating the cycle of poverty. The document proposes implementing a policy of equal distribution of excess funds between all schools to create more equitable access to education resources.
This document provides an overview of civil society participation in the 49th session of the UN Commission for Social Development in 2011. It describes how NGOs were involved through a Civil Society Forum on the theme of poverty eradication, and in the Commission's discussions on poverty trends, social protection policies, and issues related to groups like persons with disabilities, youth, older persons, and families. The report aims to guide new NGOs on engaging with the UN on social development issues.

This document summarizes the history of poverty in America from the industrialization era to modern times. It discusses how poverty is measured using thresholds and guidelines, and analyzes poverty levels and the impact of government assistance programs. Specific agencies that help the poor are also outlined, including how healthcare reform like the Affordable Care Act and Promise Zone initiatives aim to reduce poverty rates. Wealth inequality in the U.S. is significant as shown in an included video.
This document discusses poverty policy issues and provides information on defining and measuring poverty, the history of poverty in America, health insurance programs and the Affordable Care Act, poverty assistance agencies, and poverty rates. It defines poverty as having little income or means of support, and notes that poverty is most severe in populated cities and states. The document outlines how poverty is officially measured and lists many government agencies that provide assistance to the poor.
This document discusses poverty policy issues and provides information on defining and measuring poverty, the history of poverty in America, government assistance programs that help the poor, health insurance programs, and wealth inequality in the United States. It outlines poverty thresholds used to determine poverty status, examines poverty rates over time and their impact on public policy, and lists federal, state, and local agencies that provide aid and social services to low-income individuals and families.
The document summarizes the findings of surveys of non-profits and individuals in Ohio regarding economic struggles and the social safety net. The surveys found that:
1) Non-profits saw large increases (average of 60%) in demand for services like food and shelter from 2008-2011. Many turned clients away due to lack of resources.
2) Individuals reported problems with health care, hunger, and meeting basic needs despite being employed. Over 80% of respondents earned less than $30,000 annually.
3) Both non-profits and individuals supported reforms like increasing funding for social programs, making health care more affordable, expanding job training programs, and raising eligibility levels for assistance.

THE RECENT SLOWDOWN IN
THE WAR ON POVERTY 50
YEARS LATER:
A PROGRESS REPORT
The Council of Economic Advisers
January 2014

Executive Summary
“Unfortunately, many Americans live on the outskirts of hope—some because of their poverty,
and some because of their color, and all too many because of both. Our task is to help replace
their despair with opportunity. This administration today, here and now, declares unconditional
war on poverty in America. I urge this Congress and all Americans to join with me in that effort.”
- President Lyndon B. Johnson, January 8, 1964
Fifty years ago, in January of 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared a “War on Poverty”
and introduced initiatives designed to improve the education, health, skills, jobs, and access to
economic resources of those struggling to make ends meet. While there is more work to do, in
the ensuing decades we have strengthened and reformed many of these programs and had
significant success in reducing poverty. In this report, the Council of Economic Advisers presents
evidence of the progress made possible by decades of bipartisan efforts to fight poverty by
expanding economic opportunity and rewarding hard work. We also document some of the
key steps the Obama Administration has taken to further increase opportunity and economic
security by improving key programs while ensuring greater efficiency and integrity. These steps
prevented millions of hardworking Americans from slipping into poverty during the worst
economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Poverty has declined by more than one-third since 1967.
The percent of the population in poverty when measured to include tax credits and
other benefits has declined from 25.8 percent in 1967 to 16.0 percent in 2012.
These figures use new historical estimates of the Census Bureau’s Supplemental Poverty
Measure (SPM) anchored to today’s poverty thresholds. The SPM is widely
acknowledged to measure poverty more accurately than the official poverty measure,
which excludes the value of refundable tax credits and benefits like nutrition assistance
and has other limitations.
By anchoring the measure to today’s poverty standards we are able to ask how many
people in each year since 1967 would have had inflation-adjusted family resources
below the 2012 SPM poverty thresholds.
Despite real progress in the War on Poverty, there is more work to do.
In 2012, there were 49.7 million Americans grappling with the economic and social
hardships of living below the poverty line, including 13.4 million children.
While the United States is often seen as the land of economic opportunity, only about
half of low-income Americans make it out of the lowest income distribution quintile
over a 20-year period. About 40 percent of the differences in parents’ income are

reflected in children’s income as they become adults, pointing to strong lingerin.

The document summarizes new census data that shows millions of Americans are still struggling with poverty, even years after the Great Recession ended. Key points:
- 14.5% of Americans (45.3 million) lived in poverty in 2013, similar to 2009 levels at the end of the recession.
- Child poverty declined slightly but remains high, especially for children of color.
- Programs like SNAP, Medicaid, EITC and housing assistance have helped millions but funding cuts risk leaving more unable to access assistance.
- Proposed budgets and plans risk increasing poverty by cutting these programs rather than making needed investments.

ABSTRACT
This paper presents the challenges and opportunities of the senior care economy. The demographic trends in the United States show an aging nation. The last two decades have seen the country grow continuously older, resulting in a growing elderly care economy which translates in the creation of a great number of jobs, now and in the future, for senior housing and care options. Home health care workers are estimated to be the third fastest growing occupation.
At the same time, a shortage of paid caregivers has led immigrants to play an important role, both in nursing homes as in-home care, filling the gap. This paper focuses on 3 states where one-fourth of these older Americans live: California, Florida, and Texas, analyzing the trends in senior care, the options available, the costs and the contribution of the immigrants to the labor force.
By 2025, the in-home health care industry is expected to generate $225 billion in revenue and employ close to 3.5 million workers; therefore, the growth of the industry is good news for the economy. The industry provides jobs for a wide range of workers, including nurses, home health aides, as well as individual care aides. The shortage for low and middle skilled home health caregivers is a challenge which also entails an opportunity to provide such services, while promoting economic development and job creation and could be addressed, among other initiatives, by immigration pilot programs for caregivers.
INTRODUCTION
Many studies concur that “In the US, the number of people aged 85 and up will more than double to 14.4 million by the year 2040” (ACL,2020). This means that there will be more demand for senior care in the upcoming years and it is important to navigate about the economic options available for them, while at the same time analysing the impact of these options on the economy. According to several studies, the trends imply that there will be a rising need for senior housing and care options for seniors who need some level of care. However, the future is not all bright. Growing workforce shortages and the resulting increasing cost of labor are leading concerns for the industry, which relies on people to provide services and care at the bedside. The worker shortage will be one of the biggest difficulties in this industry segment.
Since the 1990s, the number of immigrants in the United States has grown dramatically. Immigrants make up a significant share of the U.S. workforce, and their impact is especially evident in the senior care economy. .
This document proposes policies to address child poverty and economic insecurity for families in the United States. It discusses high levels of child poverty and economic inequality compared to other developed nations. Specific policies proposed include universal health insurance for children, expanded access to affordable and high-quality child care and early education, paid family and medical leave, and providing families with direct cash benefits rather than only in-kind assistance. The goal is to improve economic opportunities and outcomes for children through investments that support families and level the playing field.

This powerpoint includes some additional information about the Showdown and Pentagon spending cuts and makes the case for reducing our military spending.
The document discusses Catholic social teaching and principles regarding child poverty. It outlines seven principles: 1) life and dignity, 2) family and participation, 3) rights and responsibilities, 4) option for the poor, 5) dignity of work, 6) solidarity, and 7) care for God's creation. It argues that Catholic teachings call on individuals and governments to support human dignity and basic needs for all, especially children in poverty who may lack food, shelter, education and other resources through no fault of their own.
Uninsured Americans And The Health Care CrisisAngela Hays
The document discusses several key topics related to uninsured Americans and the healthcare crisis:
- It describes who is considered uninsured and some of the challenges uninsured people face in accessing healthcare.
- It discusses how the Affordable Care Act aimed to increase access to healthcare insurance and lower uninsured rates.
- Statistics are provided on the number of uninsured Americans both before and after the Affordable Care Act.
- Ways to potentially improve the Affordable Care Act are explored, such as expanding Medicaid coverage in more states.

Bernie Sanders proposes a Medicare for All, single-payer healthcare system that would provide universal coverage for all Americans. It would be funded through a 6.2% income-based premium paid by employers, a 2.2% household premium, and taxes on high-income individuals. This system is estimated to cost $1.38 trillion annually but save $6 trillion over 10 years by reducing overhead costs. It would eliminate premiums, deductibles, and network restrictions while covering all medical needs.
The document discusses definitions and measurements of poverty in the United States. It notes that the US currently defines poverty in absolute terms based on a threshold established in the 1960s. However, this threshold is now outdated as costs of basic necessities have changed. Most analysts agree the current poverty line is too low and fails to account for necessities. The document also provides current statistics on poverty rates in the US.
This document summarizes findings from a study of working households that receive food assistance from Feeding America food banks. It finds that over half (54%) of client households receiving food assistance from Feeding America have at least one member who worked in the past year. However, these working households still struggle with food insecurity and making ends meet due to low incomes and expenses like housing, medical care, and education. Many work part-time or jobs that do not provide a living wage, resulting in 89% of these working households having annual incomes of $30,000 or less. The document highlights the story of one client, Derek, who works full-time but still needs food assistance for his family due to high costs of living
This document discusses definitions and criticisms of poverty in America. It notes that liberal critics believe the official poverty definition underestimates poverty, while conservative critics challenge elements of the definition as well. It also examines factors associated with poverty such as family structure, race, age, and wealth. Government social programs aimed at reducing poverty are outlined, along with debates around their effectiveness and potential disincentives.
Three-strikes laws passed in the 1980s require life imprisonment for those convicted of a third felony. California saw reduced crime rates after passing such laws. However, they can also lead to over-criminalization, as marijuana offenders are 4 times more likely to be arrested. Poverty levels are determined based on the cost of a basic food plan, though new groups facing poverty include female-headed households. Nearly half of African American female-headed households live in poverty. While some claim only 600,000 are homeless, organizations working with the homeless estimate the number is between 2-3 million. Social Security and Supplemental Security Income help address poverty, though Social Security is projected to fall short starting in 2042.
PPT PRESENTATION The federal role in fighting poverty (housing.pptxchriswalters76
The document discusses two key federal programs that aim to fight poverty in the United States: SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as food stamps) and housing assistance. It analyzes these programs' impact, strengths, and weaknesses. SNAP lifted over 39 million people above the poverty line in 2017, including over 8 million children, though it benefits white people more than other races. It has economic benefits but limited enrollment and restricted eligible food items. The document recommends expanding SNAP to cover more low-income people impacted by COVID-19 and distribute benefits more equitably across races.

2. History of Poverty in America
Industrialization brought a new kind of poverty to America in the 1820’s.
These changes created a new industrial working class extremely vulnerable
to poverty.
New York State bans children from poorhouses with the Children’s Law of
1875.
Poverty Rates blasted through the roof during the great depression and
people were left with no money, no food, and no shelter.
Come the early 1960’s but poverty rates increased again when welfare wasn’t
available to two parent families in the 70’s, and in the early 80’s food stamps
and welfare cut their program by about $20 billion dollars.
Late 80’s Congress tried to pass JOBS (Job opportunities and Basic Skills)
Act to provide assistance for the poor to transition out of poverty. But
unfortunately in 1996 $27 million dollars was again cut from the food stamps
program.
9 million in poverty in 2010. America’s Government assistance has kept 40
million people out of poverty, close to 20 million from Social Security alone.
In 2013, 45.3 million people were in poverty.
3. This map shows that
almost half of our
country is living in
severe poverty.
Vermont being one
of the more “lucky”
states. More
populated states
suffer from much
severer cases of
poverty, especially
around big cities.
4. How Poverty is Measured
Poverty guidelines are issued
by the Dept. of Health and
Human Services. This
department uses this to help
determine what eligibility
they will get for federal
programs. The poverty
threshold is set by the
Census Bureau and are used
to measure poverty level.
Poverty Thresholds is what
the Census Bureau uses to
determine a family or
persons poverty status.
Poverty Measure Concepts Official and Supplemental
Official Poverty
Measure
Supplemental Poverty Measure
Measurement Units Families and unrelated
individuals
All related individuals that live at same
address, including any coresident
unrelated children who are cared for by
the family (such as foster children) and
any cohabiters and their relatives
Poverty Threshold Three times the cost of a
minimum food diet in 1963
The 33rd percentile of expenditures on
food, clothing, shelter, and utilities of
consumer units with exactly two children
multiplies by 1.2
Threshold
Adjustments
Vary by family size,
composition, and age of
householder
Geographic adjustments for differences
in housing costs by tenure and a three
parameter equivalence scale for family
size and composition
Updating Thresholds
Consumer Price index: all
items
Five year moving average of
expenditures on food, clothing, shelter
and utilities
Resource Measure Gross before-tax cash
income
Sum of cash income, plus noncash
benefits that families can use to meet
their needs for food, clothing, shelter,
and utilities, minus taxes (or plus tax
credits), minus work expenses, minus out-of-
pocket medical expenses and child
support paid to another household
5. Measure of Need
Poverty Thresholds Dollar amount used to determine poverty status
48 possible thresholds, each member of family is assigned one
Thresholds vary according to: Size of family and age of members
The same threshold is used in the entire U.S. The threshold is updated annually
for the inflation by the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers
People who CANNOT be determined are:
• Unrelated individuals under age 15
• Prisoners
• Military barrack
• Homeless
6. Ratio of Income to Poverty
A family of five members: two children, mother, father and great-aunt.
Their threshold was $28,498 in 2013. Equation being: [xls-48k]
Suppose the members’ incomes in 2013 were
• Mother $10,000
• Father $9,000
• Great-aunt $10,000
• First Child 0
• Second Child 0
Total Family Income $29,000
Take the total income with the family threshold: Income. Threshold-$29,000/$28,498 = 1.02
Since the income was greater than their threshold, the family is not, “in poverty” according to the official
definition.
The measurement is the 48 contiguous states and D.C.
Alaska and Hawaii have their own poverty guidelines.
7. Health Insurance in America
Medicaid: A health insurance provided in many states to cover low income people
such as children or people with disabilities. The services that are covered are
preventative, well child visits, vaccinations, hospital care, and medications.
Medicare: A health insurance provided by the government for people who are 65
and older or have disabilities, or end stage renal disease. This insurance covers
doctor, hospital, home health, hospice, skilled nursing and some have prescription
coverage.
Medicare: A health insurance provided by the government for people who are 65
and older or have disabilities, or end stage renal disease. This insurance covers
doctor, hospital, home health, hospice, skilled nursing and some have prescription
coverage.
COBRA: An insurance you can get in most cases to cover you if you leave your
job. This is insurance that you pay for to cover temporarily while you get other
insurance.
CHIP: A health insurance for children. This is a free or low cost health insurance
for low income children.
8. Affordable Care Act
A law passed in March, 2010, that gives all Americans the right to health care coverage and choice of plans that are
affordable.
This law mandates that all children under the age of 19 years of age have coverage.
Until age 26 years you can remain on your parent’s insurance plan.
You have the right to appeal a decision of denial of coverage to be reconsidered.
There is no lifetime limits on healthcare plans anymore
Insurance companies must justify increases publically.
Most of what you pay is required to be spent on the healthcare not the administrative costs
No cost preventative care for all
The right to choose your primary care doctor
You can receive care from an outside emergency facility
15 million Americans have enrolled that were not covered before by health insurance as of April 2014.
9. Promise Zones
2013, President Obama announced that he would
title 20 Promise Zones.
Urban, rural, and tribal communities where the
Administration would partner with local leaders to
create jobs, increase economic activity, improve
educational opportunities, and reduce violent
crime.
On January 9, 2014, the first urban, rural, and
tribal Promise Zones were announced
They are located in: San Antonio, Los Angeles,
Philadelphia, Southeastern Kentucky, and the
Choctaw Nation of Oklahoma.
The federal government will partner to help the
Promise Zones access the resources and expertise
they need.
To date, there are twelve federal agencies working
in close collaboration to provide resources and
expertise to urban, rural, and tribal Promise
Zones.
