Hi Michael, I agree heartily to all that you express, but in several developing countries there is little social protection.  In Indonesia and Philippines, there are street children who fend for themselves living from hand to mouth.  There are some organizations and churches that try to help these children, giving some basic education, teaching them to play a musical instrument to help them come out of their poverty.  Some of these children actually benefited from the charity, and grow up into fine young people who manage to get employed.  

Certainly there must be more social protection for poor children in developing countries.  Here is a related thread that you will like to read.  Thanks.

Many developing countries lack systems of social and financial support for those in poverty. Despite the work of many Christian organisations and volunteers life for street children is practically non existent. They leave on the streets and in the sewers in some countries they are shot like rats or parasites. Seen as a burden because they cannot contribute to the economy their life is of little value and in countries where child labour is rife once they are unable to do the tasks they become worthless and a burden again. Opportunity to flourish and grow are minimal and higher education non existent.if a child can read and write it about the hight of their academic ability. If a country has no welfare or support system to help not only the young but als o the very old ill and infirm then death is the only outcome from starvation. This is not to say that poverty doesn't exist in western society because it does but the welfare system is the sticky ng plaster thrown at the inequality wound to cover the sore metaphorically speaking. The poor will always be with us as welfare dependancy is as big an illness as poverty. Healing this sickness begins at source and through bringing in relevant policy and policymaking that will address the problems and develop a long term solution.

Dear Harshvardhan Singh,

I am very much grateful for the resources. They are very helpful.

Warmnest regards,

Michael

I think that you need to keep in mind that social protection as affective as it might be in some ways it can´t never solve a structural problem in developing and even in developed economies, that is a matter of redistribution of the wealth. The governments are socially, functionally,  institutionally responsible for the  well being of it´s people but a problem such as child poverty indicates a structural problem and therefore  the need to apply structural policies that attack the problem from it's root.

There is inverse relation between child-poverty and social protection: stronger the safety nuts by social protection weaker will be the child-poverty problem. there are also some exceptions to this relationship.
