Imagine a parent walking down the street with their 7-year-old child. They walk past a cleaner sweeping the road or perhaps it's someone cutting grass. The parent tells the kid, don't be lazy otherwise you will end up like that cleaner. There is a perception that the poor are poor and remain poor because they are lazy.

Political psychologist and political economist at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Assistant Professor Peter Beattie joins us today to debunk the myths and dive deep into the misconceptions behind this stereotype.
