2.0 Work and the life cycle of poverty: Working Out of Poverty
Surviving on the poverty line requires considerable ingenuity, courage, self-discipline and endurance. No opportunity to earn some money or payment in kind can be missed. Children and elderly dependants as well as adult members of the family often have to work in some way or other for a bare subsistence income. Hunger is ever present. Sickness or an accident means disaster. Mending the roof, buying clothes, furniture, even exercise books and pencils for school are major investments.
Surviving A Tough Economy Requires Focused Workers
The unemployment rate now exceeds 9% and workers are scared. If a member of their family has not lost their job, they know someone who has.

It's a book that chronicles incredible stories of survival in plane crashes, getting lost at sea, surviving in Arctic temperatures for weeks, etc. And one theme comes through like a beacon. It is not the physically strong that survive. Surviving [and profiting from this recession] all starts with a single decision.
Family Businesses Face Unique Challenges: What Makes Them Different?
