This overview describes how poor people in the Consultations with the Poor project viewed wellbeing and illbeing, that is the good life and the bad life. The second part focuses on five cross-cutting problems that were shown to keep poor people trapped in poverty and the bad life: corruption, violence, powerlessness, incapacity and bare subsistence living. Finally there are recommendations for each of these areas.
