Abstract
The abstract explores the complex dynamics of poverty within minority communities, with a particular focus on the Minority community, drawing from a range of scholarly sources. It emphasizes the interconnectedness of various factors contributing to poverty, including structural inequalities, economic policies, and individual circumstances. Educational differences emerge as a significant theme, with minority students facing resource deficiencies and limited access to opportunities for academic enrichment. The social and emotional effects of poverty are also discussed, highlighting how financial instability and stress at home can impact students' mental health and overall well-being, potentially leading to academic struggles and risky behaviors. Additionally, limited access to resources and support services intensifies the challenges faced by individuals from economically disadvantaged backgrounds in their pursuit of employment. Emphasizing the need for collaborative efforts to address systemic barriers and create pathways to economic opportunity and social mobility for all individuals, regardless of their socioeconomic background.
