Social isolation can be a consequence of living in poverty and a cause of its persistence. In this Working Paper in the series Global Challenges, Kim Samuel and Jacqueline Bagwiza Uwizeyimana discuss how expanding people's relational capabilities can alter exclusionary processes that impair the prospects and well-being of poor children and youth. Case studies of two South African programmes show how strengthening social connectedness may help reduce intergenerational poverty by providing access to social capital, altering the exclusionary processes that entrench intergenerational poverty, and helping to mitigate other deprivations.
