What is the cycle of poverty?

It is defined as a cycle where families living in poverty remain impoverished for more than 3 generations. This cycle begins when a child is born into a poor family whose parents do not have the ability or resources to advance their position in life.

It isn’t easy breaking this cycle involving multiple complicated and entrenched factors.
