Generation poverty when the first generation lives in poverty and or for at least two generations live in poverty maybe because they don’t have the essential tools to move out from that. There are some key factors that are associated with generational poverty some of these factors are hopelessness, surviving vs. planning. Most people think that people that live in poverty have a lack of financial resource to meet the basic living requirements but what they don’t know is not only do they deal with generational poverty but have other challenges to deal with.

The bigger question is how they can get out of poverty first of all educating them is an essential key in getting them out or staying out. At times these groups of individuals are living in poverty not because of the lack of intelligence or ability. Sometimes they stay in poverty because they don’t see a choice or they don’t know how to access the proper resource or information they need.
