Seriously, it is lack of will very often. I'm friends with some folks in deep poverty, I offered them work and they can't even show up. When they do, they did a shit job, weren't sober, or couldn't stay sober through a single job. If you want to get out of poverty, make step one to stop being a complete loser.
I think that points to a bigger systemic problem though. Deep poverty has a debilitating effect and our society is not really well set up to get them out, psychologically, socially and financially.
