Sub-Saharan African rates improved by only one percentage point and in South Asia, 50 percent of children under age five still suffer from malnutrition. From 1980 to 1998, world child labor rates (i.e., the percentage of children working between the ages of 10 and 14) tumbled from 20 to 13 percent. ................
