Economic deprivation refers to a lack of financial resources and access to basic needs such as food, shelter, and healthcare. It often affects individuals and communities, leading to poverty and limited opportunities for education and employment. This condition can result from various factors, including unemployment, low wages, and systemic inequalities. The effects of economic deprivation can be far-reaching, impacting physical and mental health, social stability, and overall quality of life. Communities experiencing high levels of deprivation may struggle with crime, poor infrastructure, and limited access to services, further perpetuating the cycle of poverty and disadvantage.
