I find that an appalling conclusion. We are the 6th largest GDP in the world, and 2nd in Europe. Being either should not be acceptable in this country. However, it is not that we still have kids in this position that is the problem it is the fact that those figures are increasing at such a pace. The report is very easy to find, link here.
it was a question not a conclusion, as I said, either way is bad, There's nothing wrong with wanting to know the scope of a problem.
(Thank you, though, link was helpful. <3 )
