I disagree with the statement “The Millennium Development Goals will only end up being the latest failure by the developed world to live up to undertakings they make the developing world” because they impact and change developing countries. The Millennium Development was created by world leaders to improve the standards of under developing countries and continue to increase its promises by the time frame projected. The Millennium Development Goals also known as (MDGs) was agreed upon by the many world leaders over a decade ago to achieve in working together with various governments, the United Nations, family, private sectors and civil society to successfully succeed in saving many lives and improving the living conditions of less fortunate

Extreme poverty is falling in all developing regions from Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Caribbean. An example of Sub-Saharan Africa, where rates are the highest and the proportion of people living on less than $1.25 a day fell from 47% in 1990 to 24% in 2008; the number of extreme poor in developing regions dropped from over 2 billion in 1990 to less than 1.4 billion in 2008. The goal of extreme poverty was cut to half its rate in 1990, it is projected that this will be achieved well ahead of the 2015 deadline. Although these developing regions have progressed an estimate indicates that about 1 billion people will still be living on less than $1.25 a day in 2015. The Millennium Developments Goal to eradicate extreme poverty is working and still in effect as the percentage of regions affected by extreme poverty are decreasing. Due to the decreasing numbers and deadline year of the goal not yet met this is an example of how The Millennium Development Goals will not result to failure by the developed world to live up to undertakings they make the developing …show more content…
Education is very important as it is essential towards one’s life. The goal set by The Millennium Develop Goals is to achieve universal primary education. Due to the MDG and the help of international efforts many children of the world are being enrolled into the primary level of school. In the developing regions of the world enrollment for children of primary school age jumped from 82% to 90% between 1999 and 2010. The increase began to rise during 2000. Sub-Saharan Africa is an example where percentages risen immensely. Sub-Saharan Africa marked just 58% enrollments in 1999 and leaped to 76% in 2010. Girls have also benefit the most as a ratio to boys grew from 91% to 97% in 1999 and 2010 for all developing regions, although young girls with an education are 50% less likely to have children. In addition, with the success of children completing primary school a demand for secondary education is continuously growing. Although these numbers are continuously increasing in developing countries the quality of education must be considered as they can lack proficiency and leadership from teachers to teach critical thinking and improve life
