Structural Vulnerability

a distinct likelihood of encountering major difficulties within the family atmosphere or the threat to the family because of such deficient capital resources as money, education, or important/vital information.

It is important to note that structural vulnerability is a threat to any low-income individual that must caretake for a family. Social workers described these individuals as people that "In the largest richest country in the world, they work full time year around and some work multiple jobs as well, but they still do not earn enough to support their families."[1]
