About This Book
What if growing economies still left many children without enough to eat or a safe place to live? Across 27 countries, some kids are thriving while others face big struggles, and the story behind these changes is full of unexpected twists. Understanding this matters because it shows how money and jobs can shape childhoods in powerful ways.
