Undp Assists Poor Families In Uruguay
As many Uruguayans become affluent, they are postponing having children and are focusing on their careers and enjoying life. Many families from poor areas, however, continue to have children even though they cannot afford to maintain them. The Uruguayan Government is now providing funds to manage Centres for the Care of Children and Families, the CAIF Plan, which was introduced by UNICEF and UNDP several years ago. There are now more than 200 of these centres across the country.(3'40)
