虽然生活困苦的经历有许多共同之处，但贫穷的经历也有许多不同之处。本文借鉴了生活史访谈的结果与70个低收入家庭，其中包括9个孟加拉国家庭生活在伦敦的养育和儿童的福祉。本文探讨了孟加拉国家庭的经历与整个样本相似和不同的方式，讨论了文化、阶级、性别和种族在贫困生活经历中的交叉点，以及这如何影响父母获得支持的能力。调查结果显示，贫困对家庭生活的影响方式复杂多样，表明孟加拉国家庭获得服务的许多障碍仍然存在。调查结果强调了社会工作者有空间反思和发展自己的做法，以避免对孟加拉国家庭的经验和家访服务的需要过于简单化的假设，使从业者可以发展关系，建立最受社会排斥的父母的信心的重要性。
Whilst there are many commonalities in the experience of living in hardship, there are also many ways in which the experience of poverty varies. This paper draws on findings from life-history interviews about parenting and children's well-being which were undertaken with 70 low-income households including nine Bangladeshi families living in London. The paper explores the ways in which the experience of Bangladeshi families was similar to and different from the sample as a whole, discusses the intersection of culture, class, gender and ethnicity in the experience of living in poverty and how this impacted on parents' ability to access support. The findings show the many and complex ways poverty impacts on families' lives and suggest that many of the barriers for Bangladeshi families' to accessing services that have previously been identified still exist. The findings highlight the importance of social workers having the space to reflect on and develop their own practice in order to avoid oversimplistic assumptions about the experiences of Bangladeshi families and the need for home-visiting services so practitioners can develop relationships and build the confidence of the most socially excluded parents.
