INTRODUCTION
Child poverty is defined as the state of any children which is living in the poverty and
apply for the children from the association of poor families or orphans which used to raise with
limited or in the some of the cases which show the absence of resource for the child. There are
children who faces to meet the requirement acceptable which make the standard with the nation
of child lives which are used to told as poor. In the developing countries, there are various
standard which help to create a format a low (Albrithen and et. al., 2018). There is a
collaboration with the increased number of the orphans which help to show the effect of more
extreme behaviour. There is an estimated number which help to show the relevance of child
poverty. In this, the 385 million children are facing the difficulty of child poverty, they don't
have enough money or other resource to full fill their dream. Whereas, the dream are far away
they do not completed their basic need. In this report the article of chapter on the child poverty is
well discussed and well analyse and show the condition of various factor which may trigger and
create a statistic to know the child poverty and their causes. In this, the information is being
collected by reviewing the article of the child poverty (Cantillon and et. al., 2017).
MAIN BODY
PART 1
Child poverty define as being in poverty with income below the poverty level. Their family don't
have enough money to invest on their children for their better life and future by providing basic
facility like food, clothes and shelter. The chapter is about child poverty which implies the
reason cause of child poverty within country. This chapter provide the information about the
target audience and interesting fact which impact the child poverty and providing better
information and knowledge related to this. There are some of the key question which are
answered in the chapter which can help to provide better understanding about the reason of child
poverty and some recommendation that can help to reduce or minimize the chances of child
poverty (Morgan, 2019).
This chapter has been selected because this can provide information about the future of
the country. Child plays an important role for the country development in future. So, there is
need to focus on the children's development which can play a lead role in country development
and make a better society. Through this chapter, better knowledge and understanding about the

children who are negatively impacted due to poverty, try to target society people to focus on this
issue and try to resolve a together. This is focused on the dilemma of children development
which can create negative impact on the growth and development of child due to child poverty.
Children are not able to fulfill their basic requirement like food, shelter, clothes which directly
impact their mindset and their growth. Due to poverty, they are not able to get enough education
that can help them to make their future and life with quality. This chapter has been selected
because children are the base of the country development and due to many factor in which some
of the main factor are lack of sufficient income due to parents employment which create
restriction in earning required households. This is not only because of worthlessness but due to
low pay income or insufficient hours of working force them to live in poverty (Joseph, 2019).
There are some of the main cause which lead to create child poverty which are going to be
discussed further.
Low parental qualification- Due to lower qualification of parents, restrict them to get
better job opportunity and limiting level of wages which is not sufficient to contribute in family
for better and quality of life. This restrict to earn more and live a standard life.
Family instability or ill health of parents- This is also one of the cause which can lead to
create a difficulty for the family. Due to ill health of family member, they are not able to save
more and more of the earning contributes in the health treatment. Due to large contribution of
health treatment creates very less amount of money for the survival for the children which force
children to live in poverty. Their get enforced to leave their education focus on some basic work
that can help to provide them some earning to survive. Due to not getting educated make future
problem for the children and they are not able to overcome from poverty.
Family size- Family size is also a major problem for the low-income people. Due to low
income, they are not able to avoid poverty and caring their responsibility restricted them to save
money and spend more on fulfill basic requirements. Due to large family size income seems very
low and creates poverty for the children (Danaan, 2018).
It has been found that in world about 600 million children are facing poverty due to not
having financial potential to live a standard life. Their family member are too poor that they are
not able to afford food and clothes to fulfill their basic requirement and due to which it impact
growth and development of the children. Due to low income, parent are not able to support their
children for their better growth. Poverty linked with negative condition like inadequate nutrition,

inadequate child care, food insecurity, lack of access to Healthcare, homelessness, unsafe
neighborhoods which can adversely impact children's life. Due to poverty, children and teens are
at greater risk for negative outcome like a school dropout, social-emotional problems, poor
academic achievement, developmental delays, Physical health problem etc.
There are some of the key question like what is the cause of child poverty, why parent are
not able to provide basic requirement like food and clothes to their children, which type of policy
should be made that can help to reduce child poverty, how it can support to reduce child poverty
and make better society. Such are some of the question which should be answered for providing
better information and knowledge about a reducing child poverty in the society and at the
community level. Child poverty plays an important role in public health condition because for
better development of children. There is need to provide quality of food. This can play the role of
foundation for health and development. Family income are key determinant for healthy child
development (Mowat, 2018).
This chapter provides information and knowledge about child poverty its causes and the
way through which it can be reduce or minimize. This also provide the interesting information
and some key question which being answered in this chapter. It also provide information which
need to be improved along with some professional practice in the subject area.
In this chapter there is need to provide some recommendation that can help to provide
reduction in child poverty and improved life of children. They should also provide some basic
requirement of policy that should be implemented to reduce child poverty and making society
better and educated (Efendi, 2019).
PART 2
Gibbs reflection
Gibbs reflection model is defined as the tool and technique which is helpful to share
number of thoughts and feeling in reflective way for any terms. As per this, the Gibbs reflective
cycle was developed by Graham Gibbs in 1988 which have a basic structure which help show the
learning experience of the individual regards with any object or stimulus. This kind of
framework is used to show the experience and given the cyclic nature which help to provide the
lend itself which show the repeated experience. This is allowing about various context in order to
learn and plan from the object or any subject which is helpful to seek the opportunity for the

knowledge (Clavet and et. al., 2019). There are some of the stage which have different step
which help to show the pattern of reflection. In this, the above mentioned article which is based
on the child poverty have numerous feeling along with the children who is facing and dealing
with poverty in their puberty to maturity stage. In this, there are some of the description, thought
and feeling which is shared by using the model of Gibbs reflection model.
Description: While working on the review process of the chapter of child poverty, this is
identified that the condition which is associated with the child poverty lead to create various
consequence such as health inequality, poor quality life and no standard of living. I used to
experience that there are number of cause of child poverty such as poor and unemployed parents
which can lead to create the situation of child poverty (Jozwiak and et. al., 2019). As per this, the
children living in the poverty are most often born to parents living in the poverty. In my
experience, there are other associated factor which is combine with the child poverty which can
raise the poverty in various ways. Lack of education where the children are born to poor parents
in which they do not access for the better schooling and education that used to create the
condition of child poverty. As more after analysing the other experience with the various
method, they show some of the factor which also trigger the activity of child poverty such as lack
of social services, disability and discrimination. These all also analyse as per the study which is
conducted behalf the chapter of child poverty. Moreover, there are enormous section which used
to state the moral and norms which can show the unnecessary factor which is enhance the factor
of child poverty. This all experience is worst for me after analysing the critical conditions which
may create various complication for their life.
Feelings: During the chapter reading and analysing, it is analyse that the condition regards with
the child poverty. My feeling become sympatric and I want to know more about the consequence
which is faces by normal child who is dealing with factor of child poverty. I analyse some of the
factors such as they don't have enough food to eat three times a day, lack of education which
may cause child abuse and so on. As per this, due the factor and other associated term is also
trigger the conditions of child abuse and child labour. In this, child labour is usually initiated due
the impact of poverty which can lead to create the mindset among child to work and get money
to fulfil the need and their wants. The desire and other thing are also associated with the child.
Sometime the child do not have any parents so for the one time meal they must beg or otherwise
they used to do work somewhere where they can get some food. In context with this, government

initiated various funds for that type of child who is facing the difficulty in the education and
other. As per this, they used to provide the effective section for working and improving the
quality of life (Kimathi and et. al., 2018).
Evaluation: The overall analysis from this section is used to state about various condition which
help to provide the qualitative approach of the child poverty and their determination. In this, the
condition help to state about the various figure and fact which must be evaluate and show the
factor which usually crate the hindrance in the well being of the children due the situation of
poverty. In this, the overall evaluation state about the condition of various parameter of child
poverty. In my evaluation the term of child poverty is showing the condition where the children
do not educate well or their financial situation is not so much appropriate so they can fulfil their
need and wants. Moreover, there is an analysis which is also evaluated that the there are number
of factor which used to state the child poverty in adequate way. Child poverty is also stated
enormous factor which raise other factor such as child labour and child abuse. Due the the child
poverty emotional, cognitive, social development is disturb due the poverty which can decrease
the standard of living because the economical status is not much as which raise and improve the
quality of live (Lampert and et. al., 2020).
Analysis: As per the analysis of the child poverty. There is some of the inadequate access which
of clean water and nutritious is identified, the analysis state some of the factor such as their is 2
billion of people who do not access for the clean water in their homes. While there is another
study which state about the condition of 800 million who is dealing and suffering from the
hunger. In this, some of the main causes is hunger and prevent people to access clean water, but
hunger and water insecurity can create the condition of people struggle to escape from the
poverty and this can not be taken due the excessive case of poverty. In this, the conflict can cause
the poverty in the several way (Vinck and et. al., 2021). Moreover, the large scale protracted
violence that used to see in the places like Syria and other are used destroy the infrastructure
which can cause the people die and flee. They used to force the families to sell or leave behind
their asset. Almost due to this reason, around 70 percent of population in the Syria faces a
number of problem. As per this, they become first country who is facing the poverty in extreme
level and now lives below the line of poverty. In this inequality is also a main cause which can
stimulate the condition of child poverty and this is due to the condition of social inequality such
as gender, caste system or tribal affiliation but no matter the inequality it generally phases the

mean of same thing. There is unusual behaviour which show the manner of unequal or no access
to the resources which is needed to keep or lift the situation. In this sometime the inequality are a
obvious ways which show the situation for example the voice of certain people or groups might
not be heard in the social group and community, meeting which do not say any important
decision. However, these inequalities mean that affect the people which do not have the tool and
other which can desperate need to get ahead and for already vulnerable families which show the
main variation in the difference of between poor or living with the extreme level of poverty
(Mornington and et. al., 2019)(Morris and et. al., 2018).
Conclusion: As per the above discussion, this is well analyse that the condition associated with
the child poverty, the chapter of child poverty state the various facto which may raise the level of
poverty. Some of the factors are inappropriate access to clean and drinkable water and nutrition
based food and beverage which can access by poor people. Moreover, there is no any little or no
nay kind of access for the job and livelihood parts. As per this, conflict is also a main cause of
poverty, in this if two country are being involve in war then the common people face number of
problem due to this which can raise the situation of poverty due the war. War can destroy the
infrastructure and other factor which is associated with people. In this, they leave their home and
assets for their life and this will create the condition of poverty (Naven and et. al., 2019).
Action plan: After analysing the situation and condition which is associated with child poverty
is must minimise by using the proper way to reduce the effect in which some of the strategies are
used to follow after analysing the condition. In this, the increase the household income in which
low educational attainment is the key way to reduce the poverty in childhood that affect
outcomes of the child. In this, the better parenting is also a factor which help to improve the
condition of children and promote them for their future. As per this, develop early years which is
linked with the pre school education which help to promote the well-being and allow children to
learn about life and understand the way of perspective (Rothwell and et. al., 2019).
CONCLUSION
As per the above discussion, this is well analysed that the child poverty is the main
chapter in which the discussion is to be made in order to know the important topic. As per this,
there are number of causes which used to promote the factor of child poverty. In this, the major
focus of the topic is review the chapter and other article which show the positive and negative
impact of child poverty. In this, there are some of the cause which major concern for the growth

and raise in the child poverty. In this, there are number of method followed by government and
private bodies in order to ensure the decreasing rate of child poverty by providing essential
support in shelter, food and others.
