How a family include working adults but still have an income below the poverty threshold?

This can happen if the wages earned by the adults are very low or if the costs to the family are high, for instance expensive rents. In the UK, the then Labour government attempted to improve living standards for low paid workers by introducing the national minimum wage which helped somewhat. This was followed up by the introduction of working families tax credits to top up low wages with help from the state. Sadly, this has become a subsidy for employers to pay low wages and may need to be revised again in the future.

Why do young adults choose to join gangs and does it involve poverty?
Young adults choose to join gangs because when you are poor or in poverty people, get together and help each other. It is kinda like The Outsiders when Ponyboy and Johnny are in a gang called the "Greasers". There are more gang members, but I ain't telling. They are often jumped by the Socs and the Socs were rich kids and picked the poor which are the Greasers. Young adults join gangs because of protection and finding someone who might be closest to you.
