2.  More than 80% of the world’s population lives in
countries where income differentials are widening
 The poorest 40% of the world’s population
accounts for 5% of global income. The richest 20%
accounts for ¾ of world income.
 According to UNICEF (United Nations
International Children's Emergency Fund), 22,000
children die each day because of poverty. And
they "die quietly in some of the poorest villages on
earth, far removed from the scrutiny and the
conscience of the world. Being meek and weak in
life makes these dying multitudes even more
invisible in death."

outcomes such as poor academic achievement, school dropout,
abuse and neglect, behavioural and socio-emotional problems,
physical health problems, and developmental delays.
