End World Poverty and Hunger

Targets

Achieve full and productive work for all (main focuses: women and younger people)

Decrease the proportion of people struggling by half

Africa is where it is the biggest problem

There is 385 million people that live by less a dollar a day 

700 million less people live in poverty than in 1990

1 person out of every 8  suffering from day to day starvation

Getting work is key in trying to end it

Wages are going up but it is still not enough

Achieve universal primary education

By 2015 every child should be able to get a primary education

Fewer and fewer children are attending school

57 million children are unable to go to school (was 107 million; lowered in 2011)

Educating children helps reduce poverty
