dc.description	Against All Odds is based on a detailed investigation of the situation of 30 families. The families were chosen to reflect the broad spectrum of circumstances facing Irish families in poverty: rural and urban, one and two parents, small and large families and working and non-working. We are confident that the families are illustrative of the contemporary reality of family poverty, if not representative in a statistical sense. The study brings added value to what we already know about the difficulties facing poor families and children in two distinct ways. As a qualitative study, it gives a first-hand expression to the voice and experience of families affected by poverty, revealing the various facets by which poverty traumatises family life. In addition, the study reveals the diverse experiences of individual family members affected by poverty, in particular the different ways in which poverty is experienced by adults and children.	en_US
