How to Talk About Preventing Poverty: A briefing paper
How to Talk About Preventing Poverty: A briefing paper on the narrative and stories that build support for poverty prevention contains recommendations on how to talk about poverty for the purposes of deepening people’s understanding about the causes and solutions to poverty in Aotearoa. It is for anyone advocating for a more just economic system - one that works to lift the restrictions that sweep people into poverty.
The advice is this paper is drawn from research we located in a brief literature review on the topic and The Workshop’s own prior research, which it updates. It was prepared by Dr Jess Berentson-Shaw in 2023.
We would like to acknowledge in particular the work of the Opportunity Agenda, Australia reMade, The FrameWorks Institute, and ASO Communications for their work on economic justice, poverty, welfare, race and class, and public good narratives.
