SOLUTIONS

Keeping in mind the causes you found, what could be possible solutions to make sure people don't end up in this situation?

What question(s) do you now have about poverty (on a local, national or international level)?

Poverty is about exclusion. In its most extreme form, it is the inability to meet basic needs for a decent life such as food, water, shelter and healthcare. Relative poverty, within for example NL, is about exclusion from what constitutes normal daily life  such as access to jobs, services and decent housing
