Niger

Western Africa is one of the poorest areas in the world. Niger in no exception. When it comes to the Nigerian population 64% of the population is at or below the poverty line. This makes it difficult for children to go to school. Children in these poor families cannot afford to go to school even if it was public and free; they have to work to help their families. Only 29% of adults and 37% of children are literate. Also those that are enrolled in school it is less than half of all students at 45% at the primary school level and 8% at the scondary school level. These people are not able to get themselves out of poverty; they do not even have the basic skills to work. There are option in the labor feild but these option would not be well paying or the working conditions good. Although what option would the citizens of of Niger have to better themselves, their children or their country.
