Malnutrition affect GDP

A study by the Government of Swaziland in collaboration with the World Food Programme has shown that the effects of the food shortage, which causes of hunger and malnutrition affect in a decisive way on the gross domestic product of a country. It is a purely economic interpretation, perfectly in line with the times we are going through, but that denotes a total radicalization of how to read the data only in the sense of costs. Is, that is, which is part the price in human lives, in the economic evaluation, losing the intrinsic value of the victims of hunger, which should be much more highly regarded. In Swaziland thirty percent of children suffer from hunger and this condition affects their future, because, statistically, they fall, always to survive, in the statistics of early school leavers, precluding any possibility of social growth. Even as workers, certainly employed in tasks basal level, will suffer the after effects of malnutrition suffered in childhood, which will have repercussions in adulthood. In conclusion, the hungry as a child will face a life of marginalization as an adult. The cold statistics confirm these trends with twelve percent of malnourished children who abandon their schooling and forty percent of workers who suffer from chronic diseases related to malnutrition suffered by children. These data fully confirm the reading of economists to widespread malnutrition corresponds to a fall in gross domestic product, even if, perhaps, there was no need to commit money to be used for other purposes in a research that confirms the obvious. In the case of Swaziland insufficient food accounts for a less than 3.1% per annum of the gross domestic product equal to a value of 92 million dollars. It is hoped that the endorsement of economists can serve to prepare new food aid programs more effective and efficient, they can see used more and more financial resources, partly because more growth in poor countries means the opening of new markets and thus more possibilities of businesses. It is a utilitarian interpretation, which can leave you dumbfounded, but if you can help eliminate hunger from the world even this reading must be, not only welcome, but sought in a conviction. On the other hand with the need for rationalization of resources, need felt at every level, this reading may provide new opportunities for use of aid, through projects focused on food self-sufficiency, that do not rely on the mere provision of food, but which must include also education, knowledge and materials to achieve self-sufficiency in order that defeat hunger. The only aid in food, has become an almost paternalistic support that does not solve the root problem and creates dependency continues to help the people who are likely to be abandoned for any reason or emergency. From the overall plan of aid is essential to an ever greater commitment to shows its health, which should no longer be only complementary but must be combined, even at a pedagogical level, the supply of food and aid in the growth towards autonomy. At the international level is necessary, however, greater coordination among a vast array of projects in a way, often autonomous, more of a plurality of different entities, both public and private, that make the system only in certain cases, leaving the individual initiative of the solution small parts of the larger problem. For this purpose it is necessary to greater involvement of supranational most supported by contributions from individual states.
