Talks about poverty being a generational flux (born poor, have lots of kids, they bring in money, wealth goes up, kids have their own families, wealth goes down)

Also about how seamstresses were paid by quantity, not by hours, so you'd bring your work home with you and sew on the sofa an extra 6 hours whilst providing for the family

State of homes were pretty bad: mould and damp creeping into the furniture. Heating one room only to counter it. Breathing problems for small kids

Getting public assistance is limited: some kids get meals at schools, but have to compete with others. A single income is not enough in 1960.
