A coalition of academics, health workers, unions and community groups has put a plan on the table. On the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, they presented a multidisciplinary policy compendium aimed at combating child poverty in Puerto Rico.[1] The presentation moves the conversation from the problem to proposed answers. At the same event, participants restated the figure that frames the work: more than 50% of children and young people on the island live below the poverty line.[2] The compendium itself is the development here. It gathers measures across several fields into one document, put forward by groups that work with children in classrooms, clinics, workplaces and neighborhoods.
