An investigation of the children's progress that the University College of London has conducted in 45 developing countries and that has been published in the medical journal The Lancet, suggests that some 200 million children under five do not reach their level of development.

These factors are joined by others such as exposure to infectious diseases or maternal depression. The professor at the Center for International Children's Health Sally Grantham-McGregor, states that “It is possible that these children with disabilities do not perform in school and, therefore, have low income and high fertility, which causes poverty to pass through of generations. ” The most affected children (66%) are found in South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, but there are also high rates in Latin America.
