Child poverty in Cambodia
Still struggling to rebuilt itself after the civil war, Cambodia remains the
poorest county. Nearly 34 % of Cambodian live in poverty and survive on less than a
dollar a day and the country's situation impacts greatly on children population, which
composes about 40 % of nation's entire population. About half of all Cambodian children
are malnourished, one in eight dies before the age of five. Many are forced to become
workforce, being abandoned, in worth being sold into tracking.
