Today it has been revealed that studies show the nuclear leak could be double the estimated amount when the disaster first occurred.

Justin McCurry writes: "The amount of radiation released by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant in the days after the 11 March tsunami could have been more than double that originally estimated by its operator, Japan's nuclear safety agency has said.

A Radical Rethinking of the Way to Fight Global Poverty Why would a man in Morocco who doesn’t have enough to eat buy a television?

Does having lots of children actually make you poorer? For more than fifteen years Abhijit V. Through their work, Banerjee and Duflo look at some of the most surprising facets of poverty: why the poor need to borrow in order to save, why they miss out on free life-saving immunizations but pay for drugs that they do not need, why they start many businesses but do not grow any of them, and many other puzzling facts about living with less than 99 cents per day.

How have social changes impacted on our family life? New figures show a dramatic change in the makeup of families across the globe in just one generational step. The "Doing Better for Families" report shows how governments are spending money on families in OECD countries. The data reveals families with children are more likely to be poor today than in previous decades when the poorest in society were more likely to be pensioners.

We've collated the data into one spreadsheet – so for each country you can see the way families are changing by looking at the difference in fertility rates from 1980s to 2000s, the average household size, the proportion of women working in the labour market, and the proportion of children living in poverty. Quick visualisations show the extent of the changes for each country. Fertility rates have dropped from 2.2 children per woman to 1.7 over the past three decades – families are getting smaller.
