media type="custom" key="9103534" align="right" There are many causes for poverty in the United Kingdom. Being **disabled** is one of them, and this shows in the statistics. [|"] [|Disabled adults are twice as likely to live in low income households as non-disabled adults."] It is much harder to get a job if a person is in a wheelchair. **Physical illness** is another one. If people don't work for a long period because they are ill, it will get consequences and they might lose your income. It is the same with **mental illness**, if a person can't go to work, he won't get paid. **Unemployment** is one of the biggest causes of poverty. This shouldn't need explanation because if a person doesen't have a job, he will not make enough money. When kids are **born to poor parents** they have limited possibilities, and they are more likely to be poor when they grow up. The last one is being a **lone parent -** [|half of all lone parents are on a low income.] With only one income for a family it is not that easy to supply the family with all that is needed. (1)

There are many effects of poverty, and all of these are negative to people and to the british society. **Bad health** is one. People can get both physically and mentally ill from being poor. In britain, there can be trouble of not eating too much. This can give you really bad health, but there are also a lot of mental issues. People can also get trouble with their **education** if they come from poor families. An effect of poverty can be **housing.** People get evicted from their houses and they will have to live on the streets, or in bad conditions. **Violence, crime** and **drug abuse** are major problems in britain. Poor people see no possibility but to steal money and items they need because they can't afford them. (2)
