Children's Defense Fund A strong, effective, independent voice for all the children of America

By: Ashley Jeter

This info was important to me because I am interested in helping children in the future and I don’t like to see

children suffer.

The United States should not be on the list of one of the highest countries with child poverty.

What I will do To begin I will find out how many

children live in poverty in South Carolina and why is this happening. Race Income The area they live

MY FOCUS

During my research I will be focusing on children

in South Carolina that live in poverty by obtaining

list from the states Child Welfare.

MY THEORYMore children will suffer from poverty suffering from, hunger, less education, and trouble if more jobs and more income, is not available for parents.

I predict that fewer children will suffer from poverty if there is a increase in wages and more jobs are created.

My Hypothesis

INDEPENDENT VARIABLE:LOW WAGES

DEPENDENT VARIABLE:CHILDREN
