The unemployment rates have been increasing, especially for the youth; however, kids of all ages are now facing challenges: malnutrition and lack of food. With parents and other family members being laid off or not receiving paychecks from their respected company, families are having difficulty getting food. Even families who have access to food are not able to serve the appropriate diet. The article below gives insight into kids having trouble finding food and the trouble that comes with it.

I had not been staying up with Greece. It is sad to see another place where innocent children are hurting because of the decisions made by their elders. This puts the entire country at risk because a country’s children are its future. If they have problems later on in life due to this malnutrition, their country’s economy will also suffer.
