William Wilson's "When Work Disappears" - HIV/AIDS

Abstract: 6 pages in length. To understand the plight of inner-city struggles whereby the lack of employment spawns a number of detrimental consequences is to realize the extent to which urban dwellers go to achieve the fundamental basics of human survival. William Wilson's When Work Disappears: The World of the New Urban Poor assumes a pragmatic perspective when illustrating just how critical the perpetually downward spiral of inner-city life has become, inasmuch as those individuals who want to work and break free of such socially deterministic constraints often do not possess or have access to the necessary resources to find or sustain a job. From being poorly education to having no transportation, Wilson (1997) points out how new urban poverty is inextricably interwoven with inner city residents' lack of essential components that would propel them into the job market; as a direct result, they suffer from myriad problems in direct correlation to their plight, not the least of which is the increased levels of HIV/AIDS.
