Abstract

In a child lies the future of any nation. The good news in the recently released report “The Child Development Index 2012: Progress, challenges and inequality”1 is particularly welcome. “The story in numbers (as given in the report indicate): 127 countries improved their scores on the Child Development Index in the period of 2005–10; 9,000 fewer children under-five died per day on average in the period of 2005–10 than in 1995–99, 50 million more children were in primary school in the period of 2005–10 than in 1995–99; 36 million fewer children were underweight in 2005–10 than 1995–99; But… more children suffered from acute malnutrition in 2005–10 than in the first half of the 2000s.”
