Summary:
This series of reports seeks to provide insight into whether very deep poverty is a transient or more enduring experience, and if this differs between different groups of people. In particular, it investigates: 1) Which groups of people are most likely to enter and exit very deep poverty?; 2) What are the events that make entry to or exit from poverty more likely?; 3) Which groups of people are most likely to experience persistent very deep poverty?; 4) What types of support can protect people from the worst consequences of living in very deep poverty?
This report is the first in the series. It provides an overview of rates of entry to and exit from very deep poverty for different groups, and their likelihood of experiencing very deep poverty for a prolonged period of time. It concludes with an overview of the events that increase the chances of people entering or exiting very deep poverty, many of which are investigated in more detail in subsequent reports. These consider the economic factors that increase the risk of very deep poverty and the protection offered by strong social networks, and – in a forthcoming paper – look in detail at very deep poverty among different ethnic groups.
