I have read few of ur research articles , I have noticed that you haven't mention one reason of the chronic poverty is the fatherhood.This problem is mainly occurred in Africa were by father is having more than three mistresses with children. This kind of lifestyle led to spreading of HIV,which cause orphans who turns to be destitute in the society or facing poor life .I think to tackle chronic poverty need implementation of laws which enable a woman to take certain control of asserts after divorce.

I am reffering from the article which discussing that poverty traps relating to geographical space-location. I don't think people who grew up in poor geographical condition can not distance themselves from poor standard of living. I can give example of people grew up in urban areas and those from rural areas,the most sucessfully students(people) are villagers than city students (society). Reason is those who grew up in village have desire to live in big city. We all believe big city is the way of getting better opportunity.

They tend to work twice harder than those who can afford education or health care expenses. Then ten years later is opposite casa. Take example of our first president DR Julius .k.Nyerere,was born North West part of Tanzania and no infrastructure.Commenced primary school at aged of 16 years , and achieved masters in philosophy at Edinburgh university years later.
