Chapter 3 looks at what it is like to grow up as a child in a household experiencing poverty and how deeply that affects life chances. Our speakers describe their own experiences, how dealing with the effects of poverty can be all-consuming and how debilitating the social stigma can be, leading people to believe this is how the world is and nothing can change.
