"The Most Important Problem Facing Children Today"

A new report by the Academic Pediatric Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics states that the effects of poverty on health and well-being as the most important problem facing children today.

From a Washington Post article:

"[T]he American Pediatric Association Task Force on Childhood Poverty is beginning a long-term effort to address the problem by looking for solutions that will be effective, sustained and “protected from retrenchment,” according to this brief about the work of the panel.

Children in America are the poorest members of society. One in five children live below the federal poverty line, and almost one in two are poor or near poor, with a disproportionate burden falling on the very young, racial and ethnic minorities, Native Americans and children from immigrant families. The task force plans to pay special attention to helping these groups of children."
