Extreme poverty is far more complex than it might appear at first glance. It is often passed down from generation to generation, and in order to escape it, it is often not enough to address just one cause. The \u201cvicious circle of poverty\u201d is a set of interlocking factors that make it incredibly difficult for the people affected to escape their desperate situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Education<\/strong>\nSchool, friends, light-heartedness. For children from poor families, this is often just a dream. Many of them have to go to work at an early age and receive only a very inadequate education, if any at all. As a result, well-paid work is denied them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Income<\/strong>\nThe low income is often just enough to put food on the table. Putting money aside for emergencies or even investing it is not possible for many.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health<\/strong> The lack of sufficient food, medicine and the often physically demanding work also affect people\u2019s health. And those who are constantly sick cannot work, sliding deeper into poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Result of the pandemic: poverty on the rise again<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For more than twenty years, until 2019, the number of people living in extreme poverty steadily declined. However, the global novel coronavirus pandemic put an abrupt end to this positive development. According to the latest figures from the World Bank<\/a>, almost 100 million more people were living in extreme poverty in 2020 than in the previous year. Supply bottlenecks, work stoppages and restricted mobility hit the poorest of the poor particularly hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
