Al Jazeera shoots footage of a typical Afghan family in Kabul. The parents try to feed their seven children by making $4 per day selling bread. They used to have a fruit stand, but lost the business when a plague hit and are not able to obtain the capital they need to start a new business.
According to the report, more than 50% of Afghanis live without basic amenities like electricity and running water. An economics professor at Kabul University claims that Afghanistan is unstable and more security is needed since the fall of the Taliban. Investments in domestic security drain government funds that would otherwise be used to stimulate the economy and subsidize basic necessities for the average Afghan. Some experts estimate the unemployment rate has risen to 60%.
