Graph of the week

The poorest 20% of households have more than the poorest 20% of children

Disparity by wealth commonly compares the bottom and top 20% of households, not of children. Yet, in most societies, poorer families have more children, on average: The poorest 20% of households tend to have more than one-fifth of all children. In India, the poorest 20% of households have 25% of all children, compared with 15% for the richest.
