The poverty factor mainly relates to a greater level of social breakdown, higher levels of drug and alcohol use, higher levels of unemployment, low-paid, unskilled employment, and (in the case of the areas I was talking about) a culture of low expectations and social dislocation.
I say cultural, because these factors have coalesced into a kind of cultural identity. It's generational. |
