Children facing uncertain future, experts warn
No country offers a child both the chance of a healthy upbringing and an environment fit for their future, the World Health Organization (WHO) says.
A child flourishing and futures profile: a new way to understand country progress
Prof Costello warned the UK’s high ranking for the overall health and wellbeing of children did not mean it could „rest on its laurels,“ citing a predicted rise in child poverty as a warning sign.
„For almost one in every two children to be poor in 21st Century Britain is not just a disgrace but a social calamity and an economic disaster, all rolled into one,“ he said.
„a new way to understand country progress“. Always teleology.
In articles on inequality of wealth I continually see words like „disgrace“, „calamity“, „tragedy“. Social media seems saturated with attempts to shame, with displays of contempt. They must not understand how unfair this is. This just doesn’t make sense. Boy, they’re dumb, don’t they understand how their actions contradict their words? If I stand by the side of the road and make my scorn known the oligarch will change his ways.
