Child poverty in Germany - that is poverty in one of the richest countries on earth - every fifth child in this country is affected by the precarious income situation of their parents. »It's not so much about absolute misery as it is about deprivation, Exclusions and disadvantages in relation to the general standard of living. Defamation and stigmatization can be even more painful than material restrictions.", so Prof. Dr. Michael Klundt, whom we were able to win as speakers.
»It is particularly worrying, when the affected families are given labels such as 'it's their own fault' or 'anti-social'.", he explains. In doing so, Prof. Dr. Michael Klundt examines the various distorted images of poor people by presenting the facts and examining the real social causes and suggests effective countermeasures.

He then worked as a research assistant at the Düsseldorf University of Applied Sciences and at the University of Cologne, whatever there is 2007 earned a doctorate. since 2010 He teaches and researches at the Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences, among other things, on the topics of child poverty and wealth as well as child, Youth-, The family- and social policy.
