- Low technology
- Traditional value and culture systems (resistant to change)
- Population growth faster than economic growth
- Gender inequality in rights and opportunities
- Successful members leaving the community
In a 500-750-word essay, give specific examples of how the above factors might produce conditions of poverty and conditions for an immigrant group coming into American society.
