This includes insufficient access to food, clean water, shelter, healthcare, and education. 2.1.4 A lack of education limits an individual's skills and knowledge, making it difficult to secure well-paying jobs. This often leads to unemployment or low-wage employment, trapping individuals and families in a cycle of poverty. 2.1.5 Income inequality refers to the unequal distribution of income among a population. It means that some individuals or groups earn significantly more than others, leading to a large gap between the rich and the poor within a society. 2.1.6 The Department of Social Development provides social grants (e.g., child support grants, old age grants) which can help improve the living conditions of people living in poverty by providing a basic income. Alternatively, the Department of Human Settlements provides subsidized housing to improve living conditions.
