Summary of the crucial nodes • Individual factors (e.g. volition, assets, income) • Household structure and type, community characteristics • Social processes (culturally informed, contextual) • Family and kin structures; social norms; social networks (constrained by above norms and structures but also a way to overcome them) • Enabling policy environment • Public policy, legal framework, prioritization of key areas for breaking poverty cycles

Summary of the crucial channels • The following can favor or alternatively block transmission of poverty in childhood • Nutrition and health • Quality of care, and violence • Education, aspirations, self-confidence • Child work / skill acquisition • Participation in the community • Accesses to political processes and legal structures • All these channels are affected by both social processes and policy environment
