Child Poverty in the UK

Introduction

The study of poor children that we achieve here is a study on poverty on children. It implies the acceptance of a number of measurement conventions that may affect our results. We try throughout this work to point out whenever necessary how these conventions can change our analysis, where appropriate on the basis of variations. Note now that the two reserves that the main concern can be the one hand the use of a single scale equivalence and secondly that we can consider some components important real standard of living (local aid, in-kind subsidies, domestic production, including scholarships).

Although UK is one of the most advanced industrialized countries in the world, it has some of the highest child poverty rates in the industrialized world. Some children are poor because their parents are working, yet poor. Other poor children live with single mothers or recent immigrants (Ferguson, 2007, p. 1). Children living in poverty experience increased strain on their physical, emotional, psychological, and social well-being. That said there are some industrialized nations that have reduced child poverty rates through a number of programs and policies.

Child Poverty

Income poverty cannot be ascertained at the household level, a poor child is a child living in a poor household. To set the children, we encountered two criteria: an age criterion and a criterion of relationship to the household reference person.

Reference persons, their spouse or friend and their parents and servants are excluded.

It is estimated that approximately 2/3 of the world lives in poverty and one fifth in extreme poverty. The complexity of this problem makes the fight with him is very difficult. You can only reduce the extent of poverty, but it cannot be eliminated completely (Lepianka, 2011).

In developing countries 1300 million people live below the poverty line, more than 100 million people live in these conditions in industrialized countries and 120 million in Eastern Europe and Central Asia. Disparities in poverty really reach alarming; South Asia has the largest number of people living on $ 1, i.e. 515 million people. Followed by East Asia and Pacific where 446 million people live in these conditions. In Eastern Europe and Central Asia countries 120 million people live on $ 4 a day (Marjit, 2010).
