Introduction:
In the beginning of the new millennium 189 countries within the United Nations<br /> agreed to set 8 main goals for improving conditions for people and the environment<br /> in the world.<br /> <br /> The first area was to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. The goal was set to<br /> halve the number of people living on an income of $1 a day or less, within the<br /> timeframe from 1990 to 2015. This means 500 million people should move out of<br /> extreme poverty.<br /> <br /> Other areas were universal education, gender equality, child health, maternal health,<br /> combat HIV/AIDS, environmental sustainability and global partnership. Millions of<br /> people worldwide were looking forward to see what such a massive agreement<br /> would bring forth of changes in the world.<br /> <br /> Disastrous wars and economic crises during the first decade have added difficulties<br /> keeping focus on the millennium development goals.<br /> <br /> New wars have claimed hundreds of thousands of lives and many more wounded.<br /> Military budgets have sky-rocketed and still do.<br /> <br /> In the fall of 2008, banks in USA were bankrupt. They got trillions of USD in<br /> government aid and were saved, but the problem grew to world economic crises,<br /> where production in many sectors was cut back. This caused unemployment for<br /> millions of people. Food prices rose. This hit hurt the Poor with already little money<br /> to spend.<br /> <br /> Despite these disasters there are countries that have worked hard to keep a steady<br /> direction to fulfill the goals. Brazil, China and Bangladesh among others have come<br /> a long way.<br /> <br /> China has become a world producer of goods for big international companies; they<br /> produce everything from clothes to bicycles and the latest electronic devices. This is<br /> part of China’s expansive economic plan, and has given employment to tens of<br /> millions of people. This has boosted economy in many sectors of the country.<br /> Through these efforts 470 million Chinese moved out of extreme poverty from<br /> 1990 – 2007, an enormous accomplishment.<br /> <br /> Bangladesh is on the track to reach their millennium development goals by 2015 in<br /> the following sectors: to reduce child mortality, to enroll all children in primary<br /> education, and to reach the goal for gender equality and women empowerment.<br /> Besides the government there are big humanitarian organizations in the country<br /> working to reach the millennium development goals, such as the Grameen Bank,<br /> that gives loans to poor women to start own productions. The country has been<br /> recognized by the UN for its achievements.<br /> <br /> Africa, on the other hand, is not on track to reach the millennium development<br /> goals. In 1998, 67% of people in Sub-Saharan Africa lived in extreme poverty. In<br /> 2008 the number had dropped to 58%, but in 2009, due to the economic crises, the<br /> number of people living in extreme poverty again rose to 64%.
