In the United States, rates of poverty have varied over time and are higher for some groups of people than others. Imagine that you are in charge of reducing rates of poverty. You must first provide an evidence-based argument of the key sociological explanations for differences in poverty rates. Because you have limited resources, you must then pick one key sociological explanation to justify an intervention to reduce poverty rates. Provide an evidence-based argument for why your intervention focus will have the greatest impact on lowering poverty.
