Child Welfare in Developing Countries
- Share to:
Child poverty entails fundamental deprivations as a result of which children grow up
without access to economic, social, cultural, physical, environmental and/or political
resources that are vital to their development and well-being. Most childhood material
deprivations may have lifelong irreversible consequences and may contribute to
high rates of disability, illness, and death. They also affect the long-term physical
growth and development of children, and may lead to high levels of chronic illness
and disability in adult life. Some forms of deprivation may also jeopardize future
economic growth by reducing the intellectual and physical potential of the entire
population.
It is widely recognized that poverty rates are much higher among children than
among adults in developed and developing countries alike. In most developing countries
