As I read about the poverty issue that exist in China, I was given an opportunity to gain more insight on the issue at hand.
China is a country that has made tremendous strides against poverty. According to the website, www.childhoodpoverty.org, the decline in poverty is "due to far-reaching processes of economics and social transition. Although a globalised market economy has helped to reduce poverty it has created new forms of poverty.
It was also interesting to gain more insight on the impact that poverty has on children. The website revealed a clear understanding of the definition on urban childhood poverty. Urban childhood poverty is the lack of basic human needs such as education, nutrition, and etc. The lack of human needs exist because of the family's inability to afford them.
There were also recommendations made to reduce poverty. The recommendation that stands out in my mind is "improving migrant families’ access to government and community assistance
by granting them equal access to urban services as long-term urban
residents; making it easier to apply for urban registration would
contribute to this"(childhood poverty research and policy center).
I too researched China. There population rate is surprisingly high although it has a one child policy.
ReplyDeleteDo you think the high population rates has an effect on the poverty rates in their country?
Hello! I really enjoyed reading your blog about poverty in China. Why does China have such a lack of educational resources? Is this due to poverty? What kinds of jobs are available in China and how are families paid? Is China a country where children mostly work like a lot of other countries? Andrea brings up a good point about the high population rate having an effect on poverty rates. I can see where this could be a problem. What are your thoughts?
ReplyDeleteHello, I pick the same one you did. I really enjoyed reading up on China and finding information on it. I wonder what kind of education would the children have in China if they they are living in poverty? What will you do if a China child move in your area? How would you help the families?
