It is perhaps not really a lack of resources. Personal resources may be an issue too. For example, there may be very good language training available designed to make access to jobs easier, but perhaps you cannot take the training if you do not have the bus fare to get to it on the other side of the city. Sometimes, you are too concerned about whether you are going to be able to eat tomorrow, or how to pay the rent at the end of the month. Individuals or families have to have a basic level of security so that they can think about improving their own situation or the family situation.
