Answer:
Poverty is linked with negative conditions such as homelessness, poor nutrition and lack of health care. Research has shown that living in poverty comes with a wide range of negative effects on the mental and physical health of children.
There are greater risks of behavioral and emotional problems such as anxiety, depression and low self esteem. Physical health problems are often seen in children of poverty and are usually caused by the absence of good nutrition. Finally, children experiencing homelessness caused by poverty are twice as likely to have a learning disability, repeat a grade or to be suspended from school.
