In New Delhi alone, about 50,000 children are believed to be working in factories, with thousands more begging on the streets and sorting garbage. India recently passed a law aimed at fighting child labor by making education compulsory up to age 14 but grinding poverty still leads many kids to work, and certain industries that involve intricate machinery or delicate handiwork prefer their smaller hands.

In this Thursday, May 24, 2012 photo, Prof. Anil Gupta, center, walks with volunteers during their Shodh Yatra (Journey for the Search of Knowledge) in the Sehore district of Madhya Pradesh, India. For more than two decades, Gupta has scoured rural India for its hidden innovations, motivated by the belief that the most powerful ideas for fighting poverty and hardship won't come from corporate research labs, but from ordinary people struggling to survive. The 59-year-old management professor says he gets no financial benefit from his finds, reveling instead, with almost childlike joy, in the process of discovery itself. (AP Photo/Rafiq Maqbool)

Children in Somalia have long suffered from poverty and war. Very few are lucky enough to go to school. Last week Somali leaders voted in a new provisional constitution that greatly expands the rights afforded to children. It bars child labor and protects children from neglect and abuse. It outlaws the use of child soldiers and bans child marriage. Despite leaders' good intentions, most of the new rights will remain distant dreams for Somali children.(AP Photo/Farah Abdi Warsameh)

Her husband brought a 100,000 francs ($200) dowry for her in the fall of 2011. Although her mother denies that poverty played a role in precipitating the marriage, Rama says her family would normally have waited at least one more year. "It's because the rainy season was not good that I was married off, and because we are very poor." Last year, before the start of the harvest, there were 10 girls in Hawkantaki between the ages of 11 and 15. By spring 2012, seven were married, and another two are engaged. (AP Photo/Jerome Delay)

The populist president has used the oil wealth to buttress his support through cash handouts, state-run grocery stores and a gamut of other social programs. With more money in the economy, incomes are higher and the number of people living in poverty has fallen.
