Two billion out of 6 live with less that $2 a day and in 30 years, they will be 4 billion out of 8. Children are affected the most: 650 million children live on less than $1 a day. Next year, there will be 120 million orpahned or abandoned children. Two million children under 5 years of age die each year; 160 million children are malnourished; more than 250 million children are working. Yet the three richest people in the world own assets that exceed the combined GDP of the planet's poorest 48 countries. The asses of the richest 88 equal China's GDP. |
