RURAL POVERTY
Poverty is a multidimensional
phenomena influenced by cultural,
social, and economic factors such
us:
● social and economic exclusion and
discrimination linked to ethnicity and
gender;
● lack of access, or limited access, to
services to meet basic needs of rural
families (health, education, housing, etc.);
and
