本文透過五個貧窮家庭的經濟、社會與心理面向之敘述分析，可發現貧窮家庭的生活模式與實踐行動並非是普同性。他們雖然在客觀量化的所得階層上屬於貧窮家庭，但卻有不同的致貧原因、社會互動模式與心理調適過程，展現多元面貌下的結構限制與生活機會。對反貧窮政策的建議，在婦女勞動政策上可以針對女性部分工時為主的勞動參與，增加部分工時者的保障。在財產累積的部分，在政策上政府可以多鼓勵民間組織採取「社會企業」模式，協助窮人提昇其生活機會，及考慮採取「工作家庭稅優惠」方案，協助窮人能夠透過稅制誘因來保留資產。最後政府應將貧窮政策的層次從家庭、社區提升到國家、全球的層次，用社會團結的概念讓各階層機會均等化。

In this study, five poor families were analyzed from economical, social and psychological aspects. We found that their life style and practice pattern of poverty families are not homogeneous. Although they are all classified as poverty families, there are different reasons to cause the poor condition, different models of their interaction to society and psychological adjustment process which shown the multilateral dimensions of social constraints to their life. The anti-poverty policy proposals include the followings. Regarding women's labor policy, part-time model can be the major participation form for the female labor force and increase the protection for part-time workers. On the dimension of accumulating property, government can encourage private organizations to take social enterprises model to help the poor improve their life opportunities, and to consider "working families tax credit" program to assist the poor through tax incentives to retain assets. Finally, the government policy should put the focus from family level, then to community, national and global level, with the concept of social solidarity of equal opportunities to all.
