In the third episode of The Problem with Poverty Podcast, we are joined by CAPNA's Director of Human Resources, Alicia Higginbotham.

The United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs has said that “full and productive employment” is one of the main ways that people experiencing poverty can improve their well-being. And, that inflation, supply chain disruptions, the coronavirus pandemic, and other compounding social risk factors continue exacerbating both poverty and unemployment.

In this episode, Alicia talks about the relationship between poverty and unemployment. She also discusses how non-profit and for-profit companies can address unemployment and underemployment to help secure income and empowerment for the poor.
