Poverty and education share a relationship with one another and in order to fix the problems associated with poverty the problems with education must first be addressed. Another way that economical factors play a role in education is the cost of college. Due to the high expenses that come with college, many families cannot afford to send their children to universities. This means students have to apply for loans, which can take years to pay off. By reducing the cost of tuition more students would be able to go to college.
There is many people that go to college, but because of the cost they don't get through college. The elevated costs of college cause not only students to struggle paying for college, but also to struggle financially paying for college when they are done. In many cases, after graduating, young adults who don’t find a job will become poorer, increasing the gap between the rich and the
La Alianza couldn’t afford to pay higher salaries to retain the staff, due to the low rates of reimbursements from the DSS. The inexperienced and newly graduated case workers had a heavy caseload. The newly graduated case workers failed to find the basic investigation details, such as if parents were lying, or if children were being abused or not.

However, DSS failed to give more support due to their own financial constraint and increased workload due to cutbacks in the
behavior, learning and memory of an individual ( 1). While Dr. Noble noted the more affluent children possessed larger hippocampuses than their disadvantaged counterparts (Brain Trust 47), Hanson notes that the lifestyle of less affluent families affect the hippocampus negatively. For instance, maternal separation can negatively impact the hippocampus, I.e. working mother's. The lower the income a household has, the more stress it faces. Outstanding stress can have long-lasting negative effects on the hippocampus (1.).

them at a disadvantage in job market. They also lack support systems to prepare them for the job market, which also is a big disadvantage. The lack of early opportunities is another drawback that held them back from landing good job opportunities.

This may not be completely true but African-Americans are underrepresented when it comes to job selection.
The most serious of the many effects of unemployment is the effect on the economy. “Higher unemployment will cause a fall in tax revenue because there is less people paying income tax. Also the government will have to spend more on unemployment and related benefits” (Pettinger). With a fall in tax revenue, the nation’s income as a whole is reduced, which decreases the amount of money in circulation, increasing the United State’s federal debt. Also, government pays for the welfare programs, so if there are more unemployed people, that means more money from government to support those
Is College Really Worth it? Many college graduates are currently unemployed, which has left many parents wondering, is college really worth it? Some parents believe that college prepares students for more than a job or career, and others don’t think it’s worth the cost. Recent studies have shown that new college students are losing ground on wages by the time they graduate, higher education is becoming a risky investment, and most students are better off developing their own “lower-risk” business.
While the United States may be one of the world’s wealthiest nations, teens today face myriad of social, personal, educational and financial problems that impede their development, such as Child poverty, inadequate educational attainment, inadequate health care, parental separation and divorce, foster care system, abuse and neglect, and coping with the modern world.

With the most severe living among poverty the nation’s youngest families (adults under 30) and even more with those families who have more than one child living in the home.(Siegel p4). Approximately 14 – 16 million children in America
Many would argue that society’s high poverty and unemployment rates are branched from individual failure. It’s believed to be because of the schools in urban communities are failing to properly educate our children. Social class, the haves and have not’s are reasoning for the economic disparity in American. Some individuals are more fortunate than others. Social Class is ‘’a division of a society based on social and economic status: people from different social classes and walks of life”
Unstable markets cause fluctuations in food product prices, which affect the majority of the population, because they live in poverty. Poverty stricken families and neighborhoods simply cannot afford most food, and when food product prices are unstable, it is almost impossible for them to get the nutrition they need to survive. “Over one billion people in the world live under one dollar a day.” (Felling 57) Given this number, it is impossible for those one billion people to afford the nutrition they need daily, let alone when the food prices fluctuate.
There is no country in the world without a pay gap, And according to a new report by the World Economic Forum, it’s going to take at least another 81 years for that wage gap to close. The US is ranked 65th in the world for wage equality among 142 countries in the report done in 2014. Italian women have it worse, they don 't even make half of what men do, in Italy women only make 48% of what men make and in Israel the gap is 47%. Burundi is the winner, it’s amazing how some of the poorest of countries lead the equality ranking! Where 4 out of 5 people live below the poverty line, is in the lead for gender equality and the pay gap.
Unlike the American workers, the immigrants do not bargain over the welfare compensations. Therefore, many organizations are likely to employ immigrants compared to the American employees just to lower the operating expenses to the corporation. Taking into account all these effects of immigration of skilled employees, the rising numbers trained immigrants will eventually pose a threat to the unemployment and a fall in wages in
The Great Recession, fueled by the crises in the housing and financial markets, was universally hard on the net worth of American families.
