Community Economic Growth vs.Child Nutrition and Labor Force

The developing countries in Southeast Asia from years to years always gain the economic growth but these poor countries still confront other pressing issues like lacking of labor forces, malnutrition for children and inequality between the poor in the rural community and the rich.

Pursuant to the report of Asia Development Bank or World Bank disclosed that those countries could raise the economic growth from 6 or 7 percent for this year and probably in tandem with another year.

The economic growth relies on various sectors of agriculture, tourism and textile industry in which have just recovered following the economic crisis years ago.

Though, they feel appreciate on the economic growth from one year to another, they still confront the issues. In the same time of enjoying of economic growth, there have bad healthcare services,insufficient healthy meals and chronicle malnutrition which makes children around 30 or 40 percent not able to grow up fully and naturally. Without any intervention on the nutrition for children it consequently effects to the productivity and economic raise in the future definitely. It would not be restored for the retardation and development of children for the long-run stricken impacts.

The economists also expressed their concerns amid the economic growth that the outcomes originate from economy were not equally shared to the community people. In other words, the rich people increasingly overwhelmingly gain resources as if the common people in the community were barely.

That is why the experts always draw attention from the governments and donors to mull the measures over the reduction of gaps between the rich and the poor in being minimal. Otherwise, they had warned that while the gaps between the poor and the rich is getting worst so the big problems would happen in the society including security and unrest.

On the other hands, in the meantime they gain economic growth but they also face lacking of large amount of labor forces for the fields of construction, agriculture, sewing and so on.

It is probably in light of massive migration. And such migration is due to worst poverty and another reason because the revenue of the other countries in the region is higher than their local community income. Furthermore, there are many brokers go to the rural areas to persuade and trick local villagers for selling their labor in abroad. The bad structure of job placement service for job hunters and some kinds of domestic jobs are not covered by labor law for example, there is no specific basic salary and there have neither guarantees nor insurances of job conditions.

Conclusion, the economists mentioned that lacking of labor forces, malnutrition for the children and inequality in sharing of economic growth outcome may drastically impact the backlash to the national economic growth down the road. In other words, the national economy health could not survive strongly if the nation lacks of labor forces to produce productivity and the labor forces are ill.
