Global Hunger Index 2010: IFPRI

[crankthatskunk]

Here is the Global Hunger Index, Facts and Findings on Asia by International Food Policy Research Institute. This is the full report on Asia, they did not include Pakistan in it, therefor, Indian resist to blame me for bias.

According to the report 42% of World underweight children live in India and 31% of Wordl Stunted children.

Indian have really nothing to be proud of, having few billionaires because of exploitation is not the answer. Look at your poor and stop boosting, thank you.

2010 Global Hunger Index
Facts and Findings: Asia

• Bangladesh, India, and Timor-Leste have the highest prevalence of underweight children in Asia– 40 percent.

• Bangladesh Over the past 25 years, Bangladesh has made significant progress in reducing its under-five mortality rate, as well as the prevalence of underweight and stunted children. Despite these improvements, 54 out of every 1,000 children do not survive to their fifth birthday and a staggering 43 percent of Bangladeshi children are stunted, accounting for almost 4 percent of stunted children worldwide.

• China
Between 1990 and 2002, China reduced child malnutrition from 25 percent to 8 percent with a highly successful poverty alleviation strategy; effective large-scale health, nutrition, and family-planning interventions; and increased spending on water, sanitation, and education.

• India
Between 1990 and 2008, the prevalence of underweight children dropped from 60 percent to 44 percent, while the under-five mortality rate fell from 12 percent to 7 percent.
In 2005-06, about 44 percent of Indian children under age five were underweight and 48 percent were stunted. Because of the country’s large population, India is home to 42 percent of the world’s underweight children and 31 percent of its stunted children.

Malaysia
Between 1990 and 2005, the proportion of children who were underweight decreased from 22 percent to 7 percent. This impressive reduction can be attributed to rapid economic growth, as well as interventions targeted to women and young children.

• Thailand
During the 1980s, Thailand halved malnutrition from 50 percent to 25 percent by using targeted nutrition interventions and creating a widespread network of community volunteers to help change people’s behavior.

it is odd the way they don't say, "because of the country's large population, India has a large GDP though even that is very small for its population".
