The Indian Population are Living in Severy Poverty

6. How have educational and vocational programs for Indian women influenced birth rate and infant mortality? How have India’s population growth trends influenced access water and food production?

UNICEF stated that, “India, almost half of children younger than five years are stunted, a manifestation of chronic undernutrition. Stunting and other forms of under-nutrition are thought to be responsible for nearly half of all child deaths globally.” Children who are stunting they are facing under developed brain with many long term damaging consequences, as well as mental abilities and learning skills and can cause many problems for their future (UNICEF). Even though the economy in India has developed, the number of the children under the age of five have still been being stunted. According to UNICEF, “48 per cent or 54 million children under-five years in India are stunted. Stunting (inadequate length/height for age) reflects cumulative

When children complete their basic primary and secondary education it results in numerous benefits for the children as well as the society in general. Studies show that completing a basic education reduces poverty, increases income by up to 10% per extra year of attending school, saves lives of children whose mothers have a secondary education, reduces the chances of getting HIV and Aids, and increases economic growth and GDP (Jalan & Ravallion, 2000; UNESCO, 2011a). Almost 70 years after the UN’s declaration, and having invested billions of dollars in education, more than 59 million children of primary school age are not attending school and 883 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate (UNESCO, 2015; UNDP, 2015). In light of this, the UN set out the ‘Sustainable Development Goals’ in 2015 where one of the principle targets is that all children worldwide “complete free, equitable and quality primary and secondary education” by the year 2030 (UN, 2015, p17). There are many difficult obstacles to achieving this goal, and the following section will explain that economic factors, conflict factors, climate change factors, and gender factors, and language factors are the major issues that need to be addressed.

These chapters I’m so interesting about a poverty of Indian tribes. After I read these chapters I know it very difficult for Indians people to services because they don’t have many jobs that provide a standard salary, don’t have a good education, don’t have a good health services, and so on. A good example for describes about a poverty of Indians is Junior and his family. Junior was born with water on his brain and he surgeries when he was six months old. This surgery was caused of his physical problem. He ended up with 42 teeth and normally human have only 32 teeth, which mean he has 10 extra teeth. Also, he needs to pull out all extra teeth in one day because Indians dental health services works on once day for a year. Moreover, the white dentists only gave him a halt of the Novocain because they believed that Indians people only felt halt as much pain as white people did.

The proportion of children who are enrolled in primary schools has increased from 49% to 77% in the past decade in sub-Saharan Africa. This increase in enrollment is due mostly to the initiative of the governments from these regions to improve universal primary education. However, much remains to be done because even though enrollment has been made a possibility in a lot of these countries, there are a lot of other variables at play that still prevent children from receiving a quality education. Things such as poverty, cultural traditions, gender violence, and the incidence of early marriage are a major reason for disadvantaged groups, particularly poor girls, not making as much progress in enrolling

Poverty is a very big issue affecting various societies in the world. A country can be developed or underdeveloped and still have peoples suffering from poverty According to oxford dictionaries, poverty is the “the state of being extremely poor” (“Poverty”, n.d). Poverty can be seen as a negative thing to the society because, it means not having the necessities of life, not being able to get the appropriate education, not having a place to call home and so many other effects. It can be experienced by so many demographics including children. Child poverty is vital because, it deals with children who are so delicate and need a lot of care and love. According to UNICEF (2004), “Children living in poverty experience deprivation of the material, spiritual and emotional resources needed to survive, develop and thrive, leaving them unable to enjoy their rights, achieve their full potential or participate as full and equal members of society” (“State of the world’s children: Childhood under threat,” 2004). This paper would be focusing on child poverty in Afghanistan, causes, effects and ways in which organizations can be of help to them.

Education comes with social benefits as well which can improve the situation of the poor, such as lower fertility and improved health care of children ("Poverty and Education"). "Poor people are often unable to obtain access to an adequate education, and without an adequate education people are often constrained to a life of poverty." - Servaas Van Der Berg. The absolutely poor in developing countries have low education levels. Some may not even have access to primary education or may not have completed their primary education, not realizing that it is important to reduce poverty. Education is often poorly measured, and the impacts do not always show up as statistically significant in cross- country growth regressions (Levine & Renelt, 1992). Africa’s education crisis makes media headlines and analysis by the Brookings Center for Universal Education (CUE) explains why this needs to change. Progress towards universal primary education has come to a halt and learning levels of children who are in school are poor as well. Using a Learning Barometer, CUE estimates that 61 million African children will reach adolescence lacking even the most basic literacy and numeracy skills, this will deprive a whole generation of opportunities to develop and escape poverty ("Poverty, Education, & Opportunity").

line last year, that’s about one out of every seven Americans living in poverty! The simulation

This paper aims to address the key differences in poverty and inequality between the United States of America and India. We chose these two countries to analyze as inequality and poverty are difficult to compare and contrast on a global scale between all 196 countries. India and USA are also similar at key fundamental levels. We will compare the USA and India across eight key areas in order to come to a conclusion on the driving factors that have created the clear disparities in inequality and poverty between the two countries.

Poverty is a problem that affects millions of people on a daily basis. It is a topic that has been highly debated for many years in politics, between academics and with regular people. The problem that is debated is how to define it, how it should measure and who should be able to dictate these things. A broad definition of poverty is “the state of having little or no money, goods, or the means of support” (http://dictionary.reference.com). Poverty can be said to have many different definitions but it can be said that with many critiques one definition has yet to be fully agreed upon. The two definitions that are vastly discussed and debated upon is the absolute and relative poverty dichotomy. This essay will discuss the difference between absolute and relative poverty in reference to how they are defined and measured and then it will discuss how they are similar.

Poverty is a growing problem around the world with millions of people lacking the basic elements necessary for stable living and Hamilton is no exception. Nearly one fifth of Hamiltonians live below the national poverty line (Social Planning & Research Council, 2012). Moreover, one third of all private housings are rentals (or tenant housings), and seven percent of residents live in derelict housing (Social Planning & Research Council, 2012). This abundance of poverty is structurally maintained through the results of capitalism, the existence of classism, and the effects of oppression.

A very different strategy regarding population stabilization can be seen in Kerala, India. It involves a social justice strategy that believes social benefits as the solution to family planning. This strategy is based on the assumption that unequal resource allocation is the main problem that leads to a high population in developing countries (Cunningham, 2013). In Kerala, providing a fair share of social benefits to everyone is seen as the key to family

It is unfortunate when schools create inequalities among students (Tan, 2009) whether knowing or unknowingly. UNESCO (2011) argued previously that if children from poor country complete primary school with the ability to read, then "171 million of people would be out of poverty” (p. 8). Primary education, opens doors for opportunities and is the foundation for quality higher education. So often it may be normal, but it dismays to watch, public schools suffering from what Tan, (2009) once called an educational tragedy, where the majority of poor students enforced to suffer from the educational calamity of failure. Masha (2014) reported in Daily News Tanzania that around 98 % of standard two children cannot read, write, or count. Among 200 pupils surveyed, only 8% of them could understand what they read. There’s a profound educational gap between children who come from rich and poor families. This again reminds the need for improved primary schools that links children with kindergarten, would make sense when it becomes imperative (UNESCO, 2012) for each child.

Comparing to the United Sates, the education level of India is extremely low but has improved over the past years. Even though India is a growing country, its 67 years of life expectancy is relatively small due to high infant mortality rate and high-risk health conditions. Some of the diseases in India can be categorized under the following criteria: food or waterborne disease, vector borne disease, water contact disease, and animal contact disease. In addition, India consists of 2,085,000 people living with HIV/AIDS and 135,500 people have died due to the virus, ranking India third in the world. Also due to the widespread poverty in India, around 43.5% of the population under the age of 5 are underweight and is ranked second in the world.

Based on its HDI ranking relative to other nations, India “does a relatively poor job of converting its income into good health and educational outcomes” (“Shaping the Developing World”, 48). This means that India’s use of its capital and human capital is inefficient, at least in comparison to countries with similar incomes, in respect to improving its infrastructure, services, and other factors that generally improve the lives of its citizens. In India’s case, this is most evident by far in the government’s provision (or lack thereof) of adequate education and health services. India’s infant mortality rate is ten times that of the average developed country, and only around 35% of citizens have access to toilets and clean water (“Shaping the Developing World”, 49). There are more than 30 million Indian school-age children who are not attending, and those that do receive a lackluster
