When we think of child poverty, we often think of poor children

in dusty slums in far-off countries. But the reality is that child
poverty exists in both developed as well as developing
countries. In the UK, for example, around 30% of children live
in poverty.
Firstly, though, it’s important to point out that the definition of
poverty changes from country to country. In the UK, for
example, a household is living in poverty if its income (the
money it earns or receives) is under 60% of the average
income in the country. So, fortunately, in developed countries
like the UK, most households which live under the poverty line
do not experience extreme poverty – like many in developing
countries. But just because a child has a home, clothes, and
something to eat each day doesn’t mean that they don’t suffer.
Many struggling families, for example, have difficulty paying
bills on time, and go through periods when they don’t have
electricity, heat or running water. Also, it’s common for low-
income families to buy cheap unhealthy food instead of
healthier options. As a result, children in these families often
suffer from obesity, or go to school unwashed or in dirty
clothes. They also often become victims of bullying and get
lower marks than their classmates.
So, how can we tackle this problem? Well, in the UK, local
