I can't solve the poverty problem, but there are things you can do to mitigate its effects on kids.

The number one way that we can address these long-term challenges of poverty, of education, is to invest in early childhood education.

In order to counteract income inequality, it's essential to tackle poverty in an integrated way that has long-term impact. We need to give people the capacity to be resilient, to take on challenges and to learn the skills they need to work toward more prosperous futures.

The difference between rich and poor is becoming more extreme, and as income inequality widens the wealth gap in major nations, education, health and social mobility are all threatened.

I am deeply concerned about the impact of poverty on children because poverty can destroy their future and bind them to a life of misery.

Education makes children less dependent upon others and opens doors to better jobs and career possibilities.

You want to close the income inequality gap in part? Give us better educated kids out of high school. Give us kids that can challenge and succeed in the challenge with technology. You give us those kinds of kids, and watch the needle move.

When mothers earn their fair share, young children have greater access to quality health care, educational opportunities, and safe communities. By ending the wage gap, we will help ensure that every child can achieve his or her God-given potential.

The best solution to income inequality is providing a high-quality education for everybody. In our highly technological, globalized economy, people without education will not be able to improve their economic situation.

When the poor know that their children will survive, when they educate their daughters, when they access family planning, they have fewer children.
