Who are affected by poverty?

I believe you meant to ask the question, how are people affected by poverty. But, just in case, I'll answer the question the way it is written. Poverty is affected by people because the more people that are in poverty, the larger the area poverty covers will be. As people continue to lose jobs, they will quit putting money back into society. If 20 citizens of one city lose their jobs, that's 20 people that are not going to shop as frequently in their towns. This will affect the businiess in "People 20's" community, possibly causing some business's to close.
