A Framework for Understanding Poverty 5th Edition Description
When viewed through an economic lens, poverty can be defined as an absence of resources. Since 1995, Framework's basic premise is that the middle-class understandings of those who work with children and adults in poverty are often ill-suited for connecting with and helping people build up resources and rise out of poverty. Now, 18 years and 1.5 million copies later, Framework: A Cognitive Approach has been revised, updated and expanded.
The 5th edition features an enhanced chapter on instruction and achievement; greater emphasis on the thinking, community, and learning patterns involved in breaking out of poverty; plentiful citations, new case studies, and data: more details findings about interventions, resources, and causes of poverty, and a review of the outlook for people in poverty—and those who work with them.

This book explains much of the problems of growing up in poverty, and the reasons for those living in poverty for some of the decisions they make and the way they live. In doing these things, the book also contributes to understanding how others can help a person cope with poverty and ways they can improve their general status and condition. Dr. Payne has written other books about dealing with poverty, and the entire series of her published works is a great contribution to understanding socioeconomic classes.Understanding more about people living in poverty, middle class, and wealth is certain to help anyone work with people in all three major social classes.

This book offers so many great insights that have previously gone unpublished. Understanding individual perspectives along a continuum of poverty to wealth with respect to values, relationships, resources, and money really does establish a framework. The framework transcends poverty though and includes my own middle class. Dr. Payne's insights, experiences, and recommendations make so much sense, I wondered why was she not on the radar as a presidential appointee for education and welfare reform.
