The Challenge of Multigenerational Poverty

Herbert Gans

Challenge, 2011, vol. 54, issue 1, 70-81

Abstract: It is extraordinary how little we know about what the author calls multigenerational poverty. Is poverty passed on from generation to generation in significant numbers? If so, does this imply that different public policies are needed than we now have? This expert in the field raises new and necessary questions.
