Where the words come from
The definitions of poverty and income inequality, how technology and trade raised demand for high-skilled labour while lower-skilled workers face a large supply, and the high poverty rate among single-parent households — Principles of Economics 2e, OpenStax, licensed CC BY 4.0. https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-2e/pages/15-4-income-inequality-measurement-and-causes and https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-2e/pages/15-1-drawing-the-poverty-line. Changes: the US household, college-degree and census figures dropped; the skills argument kept as demand and supply for lower-skilled labour without the winner-take-all figures; "the poverty rate among single-parent households tends to be relatively high" kept, with the reason (one adult both earns and cares) ours; the grouping into five causes and three links (wage, hours, household size) is ours; British spelling.
Time out of work costing experience and contacts, which makes future work less likely — Principles of Economics 2e, OpenStax, licensed CC BY 4.0. https://openstax.org/books/principles-economics-2e/pages/15-2-the-poverty-trap. Changes: "those who do not work fail to build up job experience and contacts, which makes working in the future even less likely" shortened into the second explain block.
The relative low-income rates for working-age adults and children in working and workless families, and equivalisation (income adjusted for household composition) — Households Below Average Income: an analysis of the UK income distribution, FYE 1995 to FYE 2025, Department for Work and Pensions, Open Government Licence v3.0. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/households-below-average-income-for-financial-years-ending-1995-to-2025/households-below-average-income-an-analysis-of-the-uk-income-distribution-fye-1995-to-fye-2025. Changes: "FYE 2025" to "the year to March 2025"; "BHC" to "before housing costs"; equivalisation glossed as income adjusted for the number of people it supports; the figures for working-age adults (37 and 9 per cent) and children (49 and 16 per cent) kept as published; the list of reasons for worklessness (unemployment, ill health, disability, caring) is ours; the closing sentence on experience and contacts is 2e 15.2 (see openstax2e-152); 'earnings are the wage multiplied by the hours worked' is ours.
