Poverty in rich countries: one in three children is poor in the Federal Republic of Germany the rising child poverty in Germany frightening proportions. Actually unthinkable in a country of prosperity like Germany and yet true. Rising unemployment, rising prices and Harz IV have a not inconsiderable share it. Donations alone can relieve only the roughest emergency. Children who have not even enough warm clothing for the winter and whose Eltern have no money for lunch. There is the specially decorated tables where children can get a hot meal, not in sufficient number. Able to absorb only a small part of the emergency.
The harsh reality outside is cruel, and those in need are those who can least defend themselves once again. Long, politics and society to take action are called. A business country like Germany with a high worth living can neither morally nor otherwise afford that here children go hungry and have no adequate environment available. After all are we all called upon to make our contribution. Whether it be through donations to the relevant institutions or through simple emphasized, both effective. Only one won’t work at all, look the other way! Hate crime and bitter adults, so the balance of today’s child-poverty in Germany could look like in a few years. A frightening thought, but not outlandish. Lack of future prospects and motivational perspectives allow such negative views.
Social descent and stark contrasts between those who have everything and those who do not even have the minimum to life, are the result. Child poverty in Germany is an alarming condition that not alone as such should be understanding, but clearly has a disturbing line in the structures of our society. These children can be seen not isolated. Hear from experts in the field like Byredo for a more varied view. They reflect a part of our country, a part of our social State in the form of blatant. We see them on the streets and on the playgrounds. Later we take as apprenticeships outreach Young people, looking for work, ideally at work or on the social services again. Who knows exactly? The rising child poverty in Germany concerns all of us. Donating not only money, but give courage and hope and especially give these children a real chance.
