Poverty in China

I found this to be very interesting. It seems like a small sacrifice for such a compelling outcome.

A 1% reduction in world military spending could provide primary schooling to all the world's children. A 10% reduction could eliminate illiteracy completely for a decade. If 0.5% of world military spending were diverted to immunization, all children could be vaccinated against preventable diseases for the next 10 years (UNICEF, 2004)
I ask, “Why is it we cannot come together as nations to provide and protect our children?”

CHIPS is committed to providing knowledge for every nation on childhood poverty in hopes of obtaining commitments internationally.
Through my findings of a review, existing research and knowledge on childhood poverty and wellbeing in India, with a specific focus on Rajasthan, I learned:
Drought and environmental deterioration have significantly undermined livelihoods and exacerbated poverty in Rajasthan. Responses which may contribute to poverty cycles include pressures on children to work, undermining their education and health.

Children from 10-15 per cent of households had migrated for work, usually with parents, but sometimes alone. Income from migrant children's work constituted between 18 and 45 per cent of the poorest households' income.
In debtedness, related to drought-related pressures and social obligations (eg marriages, death feasts) affected over 80 per cent of households, and was a major factor leading to intergenerational poverty cycles.
