There are two strategic approaches to tackling poverty. Strategy 1: raise the incomes of those with low incomes. Strategy 2: reduce the knock-on effects of having a low income on housing, schooling, safety, health or health care.
Strategy 1 policies attempt to reduce the number of people in income poverty, usually by transferring income directly. Strategy 2 policies try to blunt the impact of income poverty on overall quality of life. Strategy 1 anti-poverty policies are necessary, but far from sufficient. We must work harder on the Strategy 2 side, and make poverty matter less.
The motivation of Strategy 2 policies is to ‘de cluster disadvantage,’ to borrow a phrase from Jonathan Wolff and Avner de-Shalit, authors of Disadvantage.Inequalities will always exist on all dimensions; but these inequalities are amplified when they strongly overlap. Equality is impossible; but reducing the concatenation of inequalities is not.
‘A society of equals is a society in which disadvantages do not cluster, a society where there is no clear answer to the question of who is the worst off,’ Wolff and de-Shalit argue. ‘To achieve this, governments need to give special attention to the way patterns of disadvantage form and persist, and to take steps to break up such clusters.
