Why This Indicator Matters
The more impoverished a person is during childhood, the more likely that person is to receive public assistance as an adult. Also, the longer individuals experienced poverty as children, the longer they are likely to be in poverty as adults. Intergenerational poverty data will help administrators tailor services to recipients with the goal of breaking the cycle of poverty.
