Who do I think is poor in the US and Globally? In this session, poverty was higher among those who lived in slowed economic growth regions. Also, family structure affected poverty rates at the beginning, but then later showed no statistical significance. For example, the change in family structure among African Americans in the 1949-1990s was consistent with the trends in African American female headed households.
Why do I think US and globally is poor? Te US and everyone around the world is poor because of the current economic situation. As mentioned in session 6, slowed economic growth was postively correlated with poverty.
What do I think is being done about poverty? I think that the government is trying to increase the money flow around the world and in the US. To do this, they are trying to create jobs so that people who were laid off during this recession could get back up on their feet and start moving forward.
How well is poverty being addressed? Well, it seems as if poverty nowadays is normal. We always see on the news or robberies, and these robberies have increased over the years. It has increased people people do not have enough to support their family and loved ones.
What do I think should be done? I think that new jobs need to be created so that people who were laid off (example, my mom) could work and support their family. I have 5 brothers and sisters, and with only my father working, it makes it hard for our family.
