Child Poverty and Deprivation:
Children themselves realize that poverty in childhood can lead to poverty in adulthood. For a child poverty can last a lifetime. Where a child lacks parental support,
experiences violence and abuse or fails to get an education the consequences are a diminished adulthood which is hard to escape.
Further, this poverty then sets the foundations into which their own children will be born, and the inter-generational cycle of poverty continues.
