Children In N.Ireland, poverty is twice as bad a mainland UK



In a past media release RFFJ N.I commented on the state of the country in terms of raising a child, given that the UK is low ranking regarding UNICEF, RFFJ stated previously that when N.Ireland is devolved from mainland UK that N.Ireland will be bottom of the table regarding a society in which to raise a child. Once again RFFJ N.I has been proved correct in our objective measurement of society in Northern Ireland.
An area that has been highlighted as a factor is childcare; there are thousands of children in N.Ireland who through the actions of their mothers or by judicial order cannot have contact with their father or extended family. When it comes to child care then half of that child’s extended family who could share in childcare is erased from the scene
CIVITAS in 2002 already highlighted the social effects of fatherless homes as a major factor in social poverty and as of yet no action has been taken to reverse the social, economic and health effects of fatherless homes.
