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

  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. 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. 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.
