Poverty. 10.1 Poverty is a lack of income (or material possessions) to such a level that it is not considered acceptable by society. Officially a household is considered to be in poverty if its income (after taxes and housing costs) is less than 60% of the average (median) income nationally. In 2007-08 (the latest date for which local authority estimates are available) this was equal to £199 per week for a couple with no children. In the same year an estimated 19% of households (14,500 households) in Herefordshire had income below this level9.

Poverty. Xxxxxx and Jiang (2018) found that among children under the age of 18, 41% lived in low-income families, and 19% in poverty. Approximately 21% of Mexican immigrant families lived in poverty than 9% for those whose members were born in the US (Zong & Batalova, 2018). The median income of Mexican immigrant households in 2017 was $44,700 compared to $56,700 for immigrants of other nations (Zong & Batalova). Living in poverty was regarded among the strongest predictors of school dropout, regardless of gender or ethnicity. Students of low socioeconomic means had a 7.2% dropout rate compared to 3.6% of students from middle-income families, and 3.9% of those in the highest income brackets (XxXxxxxxx, et al., 2019). The literature emphasized that a child's social class was a significant predictor of success in school. A strong connection existed between living in poverty and dropping out of school (Xxxxxx & Xxxxx 2017; Xxxxxx & Loukas 2003). Their view was supported by Xxxxx and Xxxxx (2010), who also identified living in poverty as a significant predictor of a cohort's graduation rate. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (2012) concurred that poverty was a contributing factor to Latino males scoring lower on reading exams. Xxxxx and Xxxxx (2010) noted that districts with a high number of students on free or reduced lunch tended to have lower cohort graduation rates.

Poverty. 2.5 People's health is affected by their circumstances. Well-being, a sense of control over your life, and optimism about the future is good for health. For example: low income can make it hard to afford to keep your house warm or protect yourself and your family from fire and accidents in the home, such as by buying smoke alarms or replacing faulty wiring; low income, deprivation and social exclusion all influence smoking levels. It's harder to stop smoking when you're worrying about making ends meet. One study found that while a third of children in the United Kingdom lived with at least one adult smoker, for low income families, the figure rose to 57%[6]. if the nearest supermarket is miles away or the bus doesn't go there when you can, it can be difficult to buy food which is cheap and healthy; if the street outside your home is busy with traffic or there are drug dealers in the park then it's safer to keep the kids in front of the TV than let them out to play.
