Why is there still poverty in America?
- Suburban poverty is projected to expand as the demographic shifts, with suburban poor populations now 3 million higher than in cities, though suburban counties are expected to spend one-tenth as much on support as urban counties.
- Poverty is anticipated to become more difficult to address due to these demographic changes, while child poverty is expected to remain remarkably high in the United States due to insufficient investment relative to other groups.
- A cash transfer program modeled after Canada's is estimated to reduce child poverty numbers by approximately one-third; specifically, Senator Michael Bennett plans to propose monthly transfers of $300 per child.
- Individual expectations suggest society will eventually overcome poverty, becoming stronger as a result, with new content regarding "American Poverty" and future films planned for release to subscribers.
