Abstract

ABSTRACT In-work poverty (IWP), a growing problem in the United Kingdom, describes being in employment but having financial resources close to thresholds associated with poverty. IWP is associated with poorer health behaviors. We examined why people experiencing IWP may exhibit poorer health behaviors. Experiences of six individuals with whole-household IWP in North East England, were elicited using inductive reflexive thematic analysis with semi-structured interviews. Three themes were generated, showing that IWP impacted on the adoption of healthy behaviors, resulting in an obesogenic environment, particularly for single parents. IWP is a socioeconomic health disparity requiring further exploration.

“底层”:英格兰东北部工作贫困背景下的健康行为

摘要在英国，在职贫困（IWP）是一个日益严重的问题，它描述了在就业但拥有接近贫困阈值的财政资源。IWP与较差的健康行为有关。我们研究了为什么患有IWP的人可能表现出较差的健康行为。采用半结构化访谈的归纳反射性主题分析法，引出了英格兰东北部六名家庭IWP患者的经历。产生了三个主题，表明IWP影响了健康行为的采用，导致了肥胖环境，尤其是对单亲父母。IWP是一种需要进一步探索的社会经济健康差距。

期刊介绍： The Journal of Poverty is the first refereed journal to recognize the inequalities in our social, political, and economic structures, presenting progressing strategies that expand society"s increasingly narrow notions of poverty and inequality. The journal"s broad understanding of poverty—more inclusive than the traditional view—keeps the focus on people"s need for education, employment, safe and affordable housing, nutrition, and adequate medical care, and on interventions that range from direct practice to community organization to social policy analysis. The journal"s articles will increase your knowledge and awareness of oppressive forces such as racism, sexism, classism, and homophobia that contribute to the maintenance of poverty and inequality.
