A new report by the United Nations Children's Fund, on the
well-being of children in 35 developed nations, turned up some alarming
statistics about child poverty. More than one in five American children fall
below a relative poverty line, which UNICEF defines as living in a household
that earns less than half of the national median (Fisher, 2013). However, resources for professional growth
help relieve some of the suffering. For instance,
providing different programs to reduce children living in unsafe poverty and
more likely to live in poverty as grown-ups.
ODI’s Growth, Poverty and Inequality Programme are a
multi-disciplinary team working on one of the core issues of development policy
and practice (Lenhardt, 2013). The
objective of this advantage is to develop a European viewpoint on upgrading
issues in the international arena, on the basis of knowledge excellence, advance
and constructing of common ground between the European research community and
policy-makers.
The study based on the ODI development progress workshop was
developed over years: income vs
non-income poverty, qualitative vs quantitative, absolute. Development progress
tried to define the whats, whos, and hows of the alternative future. There were a mixed group of individuals with
different backgrounds in the sector of the whats, whos, and hows list. Their mission is to communicate difficult
ideas in the simplest way from end to end with the use of visual stimulus. These actions aren’t picture-perfect; nevertheless
they can stimulate their actions when able to see exactly how far away we are
from our ideal world (Measuring up the post, 2015).

It is scary that our country is failing to take care of our own children. It is also scary to know how often that children get stuck in the cycle of poverty. Being at or below the poverty line can negatively effect a child in so many ways. All of their developmental domains will be effected.
