USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -Poverty can negatively impact families and caregivers in a number of ways: As with children, adults who live in poverty experience worse health outcomes, including higher mortality rates and increased risk of mental health conditions (e.g. depression, substance use disorders).

Detailed explanation-2: -Poor people need to be resourceful because they often live in hostile physical environments completely lacking amenities. The poor usually live in the most undesirable areas-in deserts, in swamps, along storm-ridden coasts, on hillsides prone to landslides and avalanches, near garbage dumps or in industrial zones.

Detailed explanation-3: -At its core, poverty is a lack of basic assets or a lack on return from what assets a person has. This leads to negative coping mechanisms, including pulling children out of school to work (or even marry), and selling off assets to buy food. That can help a family make it through one bad season, but not another.
