The Vicious Cycle

Content: and with the spread of violence and crime, the political instability of a nation grows. With high levels of crime, educational attainment and the access to health care are also negatively affected. As education and health are two main factors affecting poverty, violence creates a further downward spiral after unemployment. 4. Long-term Unemployment
Once individuals are unemployed, the risk of falling into long-term unemployment rises. It’s been found that the characteristics of living in poor neighborhoods create a poverty trap as families don’t have the necessary tools to become employed. When living in impoverished areas individuals experience low-quality housing, underfunded schools and restricted access to public transportation and services. These outcomes reduce an individual’s chances of finding employment again. The Vicious Cycle
While unemployment can create poverty, poverty also reduces the chance of being employed. To ensure that those who are affected by unemployment do not fall into the negative cycle, researchers believe that governments should focus on improving quality education and training all young people so they remain in school.
