Fresh
research from UNICEF shows that the number of children
in poverty, in rich countries has increased as a result
of austerity policies. An average of one in five children
in 41 high income countries lives in poverty. Children
and their rights do not even seem to feature in the
G20 manifesto, even as it stresses the ending of austerity
policies and encouraging public budgets that promote
development and poverty eradication. |
