Why is it so hard to escape poverty? – Ann-Helén Bay


Explore the paradox of welfare programs, and learn how they inadvertently reinforce generational poverty, and what we can do to fix them.

Imagine that you’ve been unemployed for months. Government benefit programs have helped you cover your expenses, but you’re barely getting by. Finally, you receive a paycheck— but there’s a…

  1. The key is not complicated… it's simply: Two-Parent Households.

    When you have both mom and dad, poverty seems like a temporary problem to overcome together as a team.

    Ladies, practice discernment when choosing a mate. They must earn the privilege to have access to you.

  2. Lack of Access To The Internet, Seeing Our Parents Struggle with Poverty and seeing them go through it makes us feel bad for them, we are always worried about them, sometimes putting there needs before our own. The Education System itself failing the students. The teachers are teaching, with the students not fully understanding the lessons. Even after doing homework they are still confused.

  3. Why is it so hard to stop bleeding while I am cutting myself every minute of everyday?
    Stop cutting yourself so the bleeding stops
    the system they built for us is not only useless but harmful.
    keeping things the way they are, of course poverty will not be eliminated.
    and this is exactly when THEY want.
    obediant slaves

    Please stop educating people wrongly
    Thank you

  4. its not how hard you work, its just we are being milled. we work more than any point in history. working harder and harder and harder and harder and harder. we cant grow any further, we cant mill anymore.
    I vow to never work more than 30 hours a week. the happiest countries adopted this model. they also have far less poverty issues.
    its simply a matter of corruption, we know rich people are perfectly fine with killing us, so the feeling is mutual, if i can isolate any of these local people im researching, ill get some of our nations resources back into everyones pockets.

    I just need to take them, its us or them.

  7. Personally I think that the gradual decrease solution is better since it reward people who actually work hard to generate more income but still give people who don't a good enough income while not eating up money like the UNI

  8. Poverty is most definitely not well-defined here in a manner that applies to everyone. Is the “poorest” person in Britain better off than the “poorest” person in the Brazilian rainforests? Your title should have been more specific to keeping people off of welfare and getting those in welfare into a condition where they no longer need it.

  9. Universal basic income doesn't do much. If the 'welfare trap' still exist. The other reason the welfare trap keeps happening,is becuz most jobs don't pay much. So u are back into the same welfare trap, even w universal basic income, w a high financial burden on the gov't, indirectly, this carries over to the ppl, who is in the welfare trap, now has to pay higher taxes, making the problem even worst.

  10. Wow! Complex matter to analize and bring common diagnosis. From an individual position devoid "macro conditions" and contexts, poverty is a mind phenomena and an actitude sometimes unconciouss of the subject; this means that being poor starts in your head and affects your choices and decisions, that recursively perpetuate that initial condition: lack of eductation and common sense. Then you can establish another definition of measurment for "poverty" including happiness and lack of desire to engage a better material life, somehow a conciouss election of spending time in activities that do not multiply earnings and money, and that are no contradiction for the subject, not even in extreme conditions of surviving a day by day. Then of course we have many "poverties" having a job may not assure you wealth and good living, like many tycoons Eleon Musk or Soros for example that say: you dont need to work for being sucessful and earn money, its a mechanism you need to learn. Then we have a structural macro poverty, related with systemic asymetries and inequalities, related to means and resourcess, offer/demand and a constant race between the finite resourcess in the planet and the infinite need of people being born at a rate that market cant satisfy in real present time: the boat is big but not ilimited, not until we can produce a perpetual and never ending sourse of energy and sustentability: nature imposes the laws, efficency and resilence Darwin's solution of the own nature to suceed over her own challenge: persistence in time.

  11. My takehome is around $3500 for a family of 4.
    My renter in the ADU takes home like $2900 from welfare benefits for a family if 3. They have like zero motivation to do anything.

  12. This video ended for me when I heard about govt plans covering your rent, electricity and utility bills.
    It's a dream for some to even pay those bills.

    Things that I can't relate too
    Sorry I'm drunk
    Dil ki baat jubaan prr aa gyi

    Happy scrolling folks 🎉

  13. People like to talk about all other various aspects other than the cause of poverty that is inequality and not only this some fools start to defend those 0.1% greedy psychos who hold money of 80% population..but no one dares to fight against them or to gather only once to reset this cycle
