The Feminization of Poverty
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
The feminization of poverty is the pattern in which women are disproportionately represented among the poor, driven by care obligations, occupational segregation, and lone-parent household structure.

Households headed by a lone mother face poverty at markedly higher rates than other households.
Watch for
The pattern is structural, and it is not explained by differences in individual effort.
