Textbook , 2019 , 88 Pages

Social Work

Initially, child poverty is probably not a problem associated with a structurally strong country like Germany. Nevertheless, estimates by the Federal Statistical Office assume that in 2017 over 3 million children were affected by poverty.

Poverty is not a purely financial problem. The limited ability to participate socially often has lifelong effects on the affected children. Because parents pass on their social status to their children. How can this happen in a rich country? And how can social work combat child poverty?

This publication explains the process of social inheritance and the consequences of child poverty. She then shows the possibilities of poverty prevention. But how effective has it really been so far? Social work can only put an end to child poverty through increased education and political commitment.
