Are those in poverty likely to remain there or can they move out of this situation withouthelp from other sources? Our understanding of those in or near poverty is primarily based uponthe analysis of either annual income or the income distribution from cross-sectional survey data.It has been argued in the literature that using this type of data can be misleading when faced withquestions pertaining to transitions in and out of poverty. Studying the persistence of povertyshould focus on those characteristics of individuals and their families, in conjunction with labormarket situations, in order to provide an insight into why the situation continues.Using the Survey of Income and Program Participation (SIPP) 1996 panel, it was possibleto investigate low-income dynamics and model family incomes for the years 1996-1999. Thispaper provides a descriptive analysis that evaluates the low-income dynamics for families, theirexit and re-entry rates into low-income, as well as investigating family income and povertyoutcomes based upon a components-of-variance model that identifies permanent and transitoryfactors and provides insight into low-income dynamics.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
