- Summary:
-
This report examines the nature of cycles of disadvantage and how such cycles may be broken. It explores the internal and external factors that direct a person into or out of a cycle of disadvantage, in order to identify specific areas for action. In this report, cycles of disadvantage may refer to the transmission of disadvantage from one generation to the next, or situations where one source of disadvantage causes another, compounding the effect. The report draws upon submissions with stakeholders as well as in-depth interviews with 56 people from disadvantaged backgrounds. The study found that there are a range of structural and personal factors that interact across the life course to underpin cycles of disadvantage, most significantly the impact of patterns of disadvantage established in childhood and adolescence. After discussing the findings and the implications for government, the report presents recommendations for policy and practice.
