Description
Drawing on examples from Britain and the United States, this book conceptualizes poverty as a dynamic process. This results in a reappraisal of the nature and causes of poverty and generates a fresh policy agenda that shifts the object away from poverty relief towards prevention and intervention. The text looks at definitions of poverty, causes of poverty, income maintenance, compensation and redistribution, types of childhood poverty, patterns of single homelessness, components of change and policy developments.
