The effects of poverty can be both obvious and very discreet, but consistently underpin the cycle of poverty. In societal terms there is greater risk of social upheaval, through political violence, social displacement, vulnerability to environmental disaster, emigration, human trafficking and discrimination. We only have to look at the social displacement caused by war in the last 5 years to look at the impact on local populations, and the global impact of their movement. More specifically (or locally), there is malnutrition, reduced life expectancy, depression and suicide, and increased vulnerability to the illnesses of poverty – AIDS, TB, diarrhoea, and malaria. Children living in poverty are at much greater risk of accidental injury, as well as developing diseases related to poor housing conditions, such as asthma, and pneumonia.
