CHILDHOOD POVERTY IN LATIN AMERICA: CAUSES, CONSEQUENCES, AND SOLUTIONS

This research paper examines the persistence and reality of childhood poverty in Latin America and the interchange between contributing factors like systematic inequalities, government policies, and economic instability. This study aims to identify the main issues contributing to childhood poverty, such as the difficulty of getting quality education, healthcare disparities, cultural and social factors, their environments, and others. This paper analyzes certain policies and international aids that exist to prove their efficiency in their attempts to cease the problem. This paper examines how migration significantly impacts childhood poverty in Latin America, as children in migrant families often face disrupted education, limited access to healthcare, and unstable living conditions, exacerbating their vulnerability and perpetuating the cycle of poverty.
