falling into poverty

Gambling, drugs, and alcohol are rarely cited as reasons for falling [click for more information]

This chart was reproduced in the reading materials we had for the first day of DHAN’s 12th Retreat. Here are the notes from the original chart:

Source: Authors’ analysis of household survey: all study regions; N = 3,661 (all four mobility groups).

Note: Figures are percentages of reasons cited by respondents in all mobility groups when asked to name the top three reasons for their downward movement.

What I found interesting was that DHAN’s bias showed through in how we “recaptioned” the original chart. We labeled it as “Reasons for poor falling into poverty” (which, when you think about it, makes no sense at all–maybe they were trying to say “reasons for poor falling further into poverty”?)
