5. 5 What is poverty? Poverty is not only material deprivation, but also and more importantly the deprivation of opportunities for a good life.

6. 6 Components of ‘a good life’ Personal health, education, decent work and leisure conditions Economic income, equal opportunities, economic security Political political freedom, freedom from political violence Social community well-being, peace, environmental stability

7. 7 What causes poverty? Christian Aid believes that at poverty’s core lies the misuse of power; by unequal power relations within and among countries, and within and among groups and individuals. Poverty is disempowerment, and the injustices that result.

8. 8 How might poverty be overcome? Empowerment – by allowing fundamental, effective choices about economic, social, personal and political aspects of a life – is freedom from poverty.
