We spent an afternoon last week trying to wrestle the idea of a Ministry of Poverty Prevention (Min-Pov) into being. Or the concept of it.
It’s a difficult one. We know that 90% of the people who end up in poverty come from the same socioeconomic group. Meaning that they often inherit poverty from their parents – it is their only inheritance. There is a distinct chance that your children will also inherit poverty, and so on down through the generations.
Lots of stuff goes with poverty. Poverty is a great destroyer of opportunity and possibility. It is as if poverty was a creation of life
