While the funded phase of the CHIP programme is now over, this website is intended to be a resource for policy makers, practitioners and activists concerned about childhood poverty. It contains policy briefings, research reports, photos, case studies and links on a wide range of issues related to childhood poverty, all of which can be accessed via the menus at the left and bottom of each page. This website will continue to exist until at least 2007 (CHIP).
CHIP was funded by the UK Department for International Development, Save the Children and the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CHIP).
What I have learned from the website
China population in Poverty:
China is the world's most populous country with a population of 1.27 billion people in 2001. By the year of 2001 child population lived below the national poverty line. As of today, China poverty has reduced a great deal. According to offical statistics, poverty has estimated to have fallen from 250 million in 1978 to 35 million in 2000. Economic and social transition has played the vital part in declining poverty.
China transition from acentrally planned to a globalished market economy has helped reduced chronic poverty and disadvantage but has also created new forms of poverty (CHIP).
China recieves more foreign investment than any other country in the world other than the United States (CHIP).
