Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

While having an education and children can contribute to poverty, the strongest predictor is whether someone has a job or not. Without stable employment or adequate income, it is difficult to avoid poverty. Retirement and being born in another country may also contribute to poverty, but they are not as strong predictors as having a job or not.
