Generational links in the poverty cycle : an analysis of the significance of selected variables, education, occupation and receipt of public assistance, seen as generational links in the low-income life styleMcCargar, Donamae A. January 1968 (has links)
This study is one of four research projects which examined the
National Urban Low-Income Family Evaluation Study (NULIFE). Under
the auspices of the Canada Welfare Council, NULIFE examined poverty
in three urban areas of Canada.
The purpose of this particular study was to examine the many
factors which contribute to generational links in the poverty cycle in
metropolitan areas across Canada. There is a vast range of literature
and research reports available from the United States on the poverty
cycle and its etiology but examination of the factors which followed a
familiar pattern seem to occupy a secondary position. It is to be hoped,
therefore, that this study will stimulate further enquiries in this area,
as well as contribute to knowledge of poverty in Canada.
Examination of the NULIFE data for generational links did not
produce any radical conclusions. The research indicated that the
selected variables education, occupation and welfare were pertinent to
the inexorable process of poverty. They were examined in separate
sections of the report from the point of view that low education, lack
of job skills, and dependence on welfare are self-generating, and
present the poor with barriers to economic betterment. This study
theorized that these critical variables were closely interrelated. For
example, education was related to lack of occupational skills, et cetera.
Although it was found that the selected variables were
contributors to generational links in the cycle of poverty, such
conclusions could only be made tentatively, as the analysis lacked
strength. It was therefore not possible to indicate causality as many
other cultural determinants of poverty, such as attitudes, values,
expectations et cetera, were not available to be tested. / Arts, Faculty of / Social Work, School of / Graduate
