Extreme Poverty on the Rise in the United States

Extreme Poverty on the Rise in the United States
Apr 30, 2019
A new study from the National Poverty Center finds that 1.65 million American households are living in “extreme poverty,” and these households include 3.55 million children. Using a World Bank definition, the research defines “extreme poverty” as surviving on less than $2 per day, per person, each month. This measure is roughly 13% of the official U.S. poverty threshold. The study utilizes data from the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) between 1996 and 2011. Between 1996 and 2011, the period directly after welfare reform ended cash entitlement for poor families for children, the number of families living on $2 or less in cash income (per person, per day) rose from 636,000 to 1.65 million. This represents a growth rate of 159%. In 1996, households in extreme poverty made up just 1.7% of all households. This figure increased to 3% by 2010 and reached 4.3% by mid-2011. The researchers also assessed the impact of federal transfer benefits on extreme poverty. When including Supplemental Nutritional Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits in income calculations, the number of extremely poor households increases at a slower place, by 80%, from 475,000 households in 1996 to 857,000 households in 2011. When refundable tax credits and housing subsidies are counted as income, the rate of extreme poverty growth slows even further, with the number of households living in extreme poverty grows from 409,000 in 1996 to 613,000 in 2011. Overall, the existence of major means tested aid programs prevented an estimated 2.38 million children from experiencing extreme poverty. In mid-2011, about 47.5% of households living in extreme poverty were white non-Hispanic, and 46% were African-American or Hispanic. However, when adjusting for means-tested subsidy programs, the proportion of households living in extreme poverty and headed by white non-Hispanics rises to 61.2%. A higher percentage of households living in extreme poverty in 2011 were headed by a single female (50.8%), compared to married couples (36.5%). However, when adjusting for means tested programs, the proportion of extremely poor households headed by a single female drops to below one-third of all households in extreme poverty. According to study authors, the loss of a cash safety net is a contributing factor to the increase of extreme poverty across the country, combined with slow economic growth and major job losses throughout the Great Recession. Further research is needed to identify the extent to which these factors have contributed to the rising incidence of extreme poverty at the household level. The working paper, Rising Extreme Poverty in the United States and the Response of Federal Means-Tested Transfer Programs, is available on the National Poverty Center’s webpage: http://bit.ly/10eBzgg

Wha happened?

The study only looked at data through 2011 so I guess the answer to our question is Obama happened

Off to a Trump MAGA rally?

Will Donald Trump demand that the destitute and homeless use only American-manufactured carts?

Did you not read your source? Trump wasn't POTUS at any point between 1996 and 2011.

Donald Trump has expunged extreme poverty in the USA? Are all the former homeless people now Mar a Lago members?

Trump is worse at job creation than Obama. There are still 11 million people out of work thanks to Bush Republicans Job Killing Depression Disaster! Bush sent our manufacturing Jobs to China!

I personally don't think its the government's job to create jobs outside the government. It would be nice if they just stopped to deliberately kill them and let the market evolve on something a little more reasonable than a 24 hour news cycle pace.

The Government's Job is to prevent JOB KILLING RECESSIONS!!!

Government can do that by preventing unsustainable bubbles by paying debt with taxes or raising interest rates & halting crashes by lowering interest rates, printing money, temporarily paying unemployment, food-stamps & welfare. Repubtards believe we should NEVER repay debt or prevent bubbles that end with JOB KILLING RECESSIONS!

There has NEVER EVER, in all of history been a Republican President who didn't CAUSE JOB KILLING RECESSIONS!

Most Democrats Never cause job killing recessions!

Government should also not send our means of production to other countries leaving us vulnerable if our currency collapses (ie:Venezuela)

Not the government's job. Sorry. Recessions are a natural part of the business cycle.

Well I am sure you hope that will be the case since every other gotcha the end is neigh thing the democrats have relied on up until now fell flat. In the mean time, statistically, our unemployment rate wouldn't put that recession probable for at least two years and the election is 8 months short of that....
