As you ask this question, I think you are trying to better understand how you understand the general functionalist view and how it applies to poverty. Some good examples: What are some examples of functionalistic viewpoints in sociology?
You may have actually heard the main dynamics of functionalism to assess poverty, but it has not been achieved almost once a week. It tends to begin with "that poverty is so obvious that society causes people to fail xyz ..." It is a bit familiar.
The basic idea is to see poverty as a result of a society in which functionalists collapse in some way. For example, functionalist analysis may point to poor employment opportunities and may result in relatively high unemployment rates. For example, annoying inflation that may be caused by a helpless central bank could lead to the lack of such opportunities. In this case, the virtual sociologist advocating this argument basically states as follows. "The state is a complex system that includes food resources, education, housing, the environment, the economy, etc. In this system, the economy is in poverty due to this systematic failure."
I know that you have asked for a functionalistic view of poverty, but I do not have a general view. Instead, there are multiple nested functionalists' views on this issue (almost as many people as the opinion!). The reason for defining them is that they are prone to the following positions: 1) poor areas are systems of coordinating parts, 2) one or more of these parts are "destroyed" 3) The result of this broken part is poverty. I hope this will be useful!
From a functionalistic point of view, social construction of poverty is considered to be a natural and beneficial, or at least a part of it, social building of wealth and society. Leon-Guerrero (2005, p. 228) supports this claim. "Functionalists admit that poverty is the product of our social structure." Functionalists themselves do not agree with poverty. They are convinced that they can gain power and wealth through skills and efforts, but inequality and poverty are inevitable as not everyone has the ability to succeed. Poor people are seen as defective and stand out from the rest of society. From a functionalist point of view, more people are driven into poverty due to the current UK economic downturn, which will be regarded as a temporary event of nature.
