ABSTRACT

The problem of poverty has continued to remain the central challenge of development at
the global level. Poverty is said to be the inability to attain a minimum level of well-being, is the
most fundamental economic and social problem facing humanity. Poverty behavior can be
transitory or chronic. Those who remain poor for short time duration and then move out of
poverty are transitory poor. While chronic poor remain poor for their significant periods of lives,
they may pass their poverty onto their children, for them finding exit routes from poverty is
difficult.

INTRODUCTION
Each and every child has the right to grow up to be healthy, strong, well-educated and
capable of contributing to their community and wider society, as demonstrated in every
international agreement to recognize and protect children’s rights.1 Poverty interferes with the
capacity of children to enjoy this right. For children in rich countries, relative poverty also
perpetuates cycles of disadvantage and inequity so that some children miss out on the
opportunities to be educated, healthy or nourished compared with their peers.

BACKGROUND
Poverty and inequality have been recurrent challenges in the Philippines and have again
come to the fore in the wake of the current global financial crisis and rising food, fuel, and
commodity prices experienced in 2008. The proportion of households living below the official
poverty line has declined very slowly and unevenly in the past four decades, and poverty
reduction has been much slower than in neighboring countries such as the People’s Republic of
China (PRC), Indonesia, Thailand, and Viet Nam. The growth of the economy has been
characterized by boom and bust cycles and current episodes of moderate economic expansion
have had limited impact on poverty reduction.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

Poverty is a state of economic and social deprivation. It is multifaceted and ranges from denial of
the basic necessities of life, limited access to knowledge, resources and basic services, to
alienation from the decision making process and social exclusion. Cities are the centres of
economic development, but this development is sometimes marred by persisting poverty
in urban centres of developing countries. Urban centres ranging from metropolis to municipal
towns in the developing world are now dotted with slums and squatter settlements which are
nothing but spatial expression of urban poverty. In the developing countries 1.2 billion people
are living with an income of less than $1 a day and 2.8 billion people with less than $2 a day
(UNDP, 2001).

METHOD
This being a geographical study, both primary and secondary data have been collected to
arrive at a clear conclusion. Working with the social problems of a particular section of the
society in this city necessitated the collection of secondary information from diverse sources.
However the secondary information on this particular group of population was found tc be
seriously lacking. The Census of India has acknowledged the non-existence of notified slums in
Assam even in 1991 (Census of India, 1991). Therefore information regarding slum population
was collected from the Town and Country Planning Organization’s District Office at Guwahati,
from the Office of the Director, Municipal Administration Department, Guwahati, and also from
Guwahati Municipal Corporation.

RESULT
The effects of poverty on both growth and development manifest in early infancy. For example,
low-income children have measurable gaps in language development beginning at the time of
their first words, resulting in substantial differences in school readiness.78 These differences
may be mediated by aspects of the early home environments, including less reading aloud by
parents and more exposure to electronic media.125 The influence of poverty on physical growth
also can be measured in early childhood.

DISCUSSION
This discussion of the condition of children living in poverty attempts to answer the following
research questions. How many children are affected by deprivation in terms of health, education,
income, shelter, and sanitation? Where are we in the fight against child poverty? To whom and
where should we direct our scarce resources? The answers to these questions can inform the
government and various stakeholders.

SUMMARY
While there have been gains in improving the well-being of children in the Philippines, there are
still many dimensions where progress has been limited. Combating child poverty in the
Philippines is an ever more challenging task. Both incidence and magnitude of income poor are
increasing which indicates that efforts have not coped with the increasing number of poor
individuals including children. In 2009, around 13.4 million or 36 percent of all children aged
below 18 are considered income poor. There was an increment of around 2.3 million since 2003.
With the lack of inclusivity of economic growth and the still high population growth in recent
years, we would expect that the number of poor children would not be significantly reduced
within the next few years.
 CONCLUSION

We conclude that the respondents were diplomatic in their answer and on

few were obvious to the fact that serious health effects might arise because of the
poverty problems.

RECOMMENDATION
The causes of persistent poverty in the country and includes recommendations for
reducing poverty more quickly through sustained and inclusive growth. It includes analytical
work based on current literature and the latest available data, including the 2006 Family Income
and Expenditure Survey (FIES). MDG accomplishments to date are assessed, with particular
attention paid to financing gaps. The study also (i) provides an overview of current government
responses, strategies, and achievements; (ii) identifies and prioritizes future needs and
interventions; and (iii) examines the implications of the current financial crisis on poverty
reduction. The study will inform the upcoming country partnership strategy for the Philippines,
providing key insights into future needs for investment, capacity building, and research. The new
strategy will be clearly linked to ADB’s strategic priorities and objectives under Strategy 2020,
and its mediumterm strategy.

Position Paper

The Other Side of E-mail

A few years ago, when my daughter was a collage freshman, I wrote a column singing
the praises of email. We were, suddenly, corresponding. It was I decided, the revenge of print on
electronics-whole generation raised on the tube and the phone, rediscovering the loss of writing
letters. How utterly charming.

Objectives:

1. Clarify why people have an email

2. Gather information
About the other side of email

Cause to communicate to each other: To know more information. Effect it can effect to your eyes
rather than our physical identity

I agree that email is also easily forwarded and deliberately as mistakenly put into must
circulation anything private unless you are prepared to see it crop up all over the World Wide Web.
