Poverty Income and Social Protection

Question: Describe about the Poverty for Income and Social Protection? Answer: Child Poverty in Britain: an analysis of the causes and effects: A child who is orphan, comes from a lower income family or belongs to a family that cannot meet the basic standard of living suffers from child poverty. They dont get the basic needs of life. Generally a mass population belonging to child poverty is considered to reside in developing or under-developed countries. But there are also many developed countries where children suffer from poverty. Reasons such as lack of education, policy of government, adult poverty, discrimination and disability, social services and unemployment are the general causes of poverty (Hoefer and Midgley, n.d.). They affect the presence of poverty in a child to a great extent. As a result of poverty children may suffer from issues regarding their behavioral and intellectual development. The children also suffer from health problems like malnutrition and hunger pain. The effects of child poverty are severe because children are the future of a society, if a certain level of children suffers from various health issues then in future a vast number of population may possibly suffer health problem in future to which the productivity of a nation would become low. In order to eradicate child poverty it is important to provide free food and education to children. The Government must take initiative to provide benefits in order to help children to get a proper atmosphere. It has been often found that children suffering from poverty become a victim of anti-social behavior. The Government should try to increase wage for the poor earning group and introduce per time works for teen-age children which are non-harming in nature (Saunders, 2012). The British Government is responsible for breaking the connection of being born as a poor and still suffering as a poor. It is important for a country and every citizen to help the child who suffers from poverty not just because children are innocent and they should be taken care of but keeping in mind that they are going to be the pillars of Future.
