If not, it seems in some cases nothing much will ever change given the lack of political will. You raise some interesting points on this going as far as reducing pressure on social security systems. I guess it depends on the country in question - keep in mind some do not even have such systems to begin with.Sadiahttp://www.globaleducationdevelopment.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4111506715423011261.post-65794690917673506052012-06-12T13:12:52.635+01:002012-06-12T13:12:52.635+01:00Itumeleng on LinkedIn:

The reality is that people do not have adequate housing which makes them primarily vulnerable to disasters such as fires and exposure to harmful chemicals due to their surroundings. <br /><br />Some "disasters" are certainly avoidable through education and sensatisation. This definitely has the potential to go as far as alleviating the pressure on our health structures as well as the social structures such as the disability grant system in particular. Send me your thoughts on this matter!Sadiahttp://www.globaleducationdevelopment.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
