I was a little sadden that I was not able to reach contact with the list we were given, I am going to contact one of my colleagues to get help from them.
In the mean time i was able to about poverty in another country, I read an article from the: http://www.childhoodpoverty.org/). The article was Urban Poverty Childhood Poverty and Social Protection in China. There was a wealth of information in this written paper I noticed that poverty was mainly in the rural areas that had major concerns, such as health, education. The main term that stuck out to me was "Intergenerational Poverty" which means to be passed on from generation to generation putting it in short terms. The article states that there is a large proportion from the urban poor that are willing to work and are capable to work but there is no work for them.

ReplyDeleteHopefully you will hear from your contacts. I enjoyed reading about China. The term Intergenerational poverty makes sense when you think about it--many find it hard to break the cycle.
