Getting to Know

Children poverty and social protection
Children should be protected from poverty, especially in the early stage of life. Perhaps if a child is exposed to poverty issues, they might experience through adult life. In fact, poverty issues can be passed on from generation to generation without proper education. UNICEF is working to more fully understand how and where children are experiencing poverty, to allow a more nuanced set of policy responses in national mechanisms such as poverty-reduction strategies. (UNICEF).

Networking with other countries to help educate young children and family members strategies, programs to overcome poverty lifestyle. With support from a number of experts and international research centers, the social policy and economic analysis unit in UNICEF's division of policy and planning created a comprehensive Global Study Guide to help carry out the study in each participating country. (UNICEF).

I agree that providing resources to educate people on poverty is important. Understand poverty will help children have a successful education. It also will help benefit their health and well being. Learning about poverty and ways we can improve will help me to continue to educate others about it.
