following links and accompanying text have been culled from the web to illuminate
the situation in Greenland. Some of
these links may lead to websites that present allegations that are
unsubstantiated or even false. No attempt has been made to validate
their authenticity or to verify their content. HOW TO USE THIS WEBPAGE Students If you are looking
for material to use in a term-paper, you are advised to scan the postings on
this page and others to see which aspect(s) of street life are of particular
interest to you. You might be interested
in exploring how children got there, how they survive, and how some manage to
leave the street. Perhaps your paper
could focus on how some street children abuse the public and how they are
abused by the public … and how they abuse each other. Would you like to write about market
children? homeless children? Sexual and labor exploitation? begging? violence? addiction? hunger? neglect? etc. There is a lot to the subject of Street
Children. Scan other countries as well
as this one. Draw comparisons between
activity in adjacent countries and/or regions. Meanwhile, check out some of the Term-Paper resources
that are available on-line. Teachers Check out some of

2011] EDUCATION - The average
educational level for the resident population born in Greenland is very low
compared to the Nordic countries. At the same time, the efforts presently
being expended on education are not sufficient to ensure that the population
born in Greenland will even be able to replace the present labor force, much
less improve or expand it. In order to maintain a standard of living and a
welfare society on the Nordic level, there will be a continuing need for
labor from abroad and a block grant from Denmark. This situation can be
changed only by motivating the coming generations to get an education and by
instituting on-going training programs for the present generations. It is
necessary to set up a structure of incentives that will motivate the youth of
Greenland to educate themselves in their own and their country’s interest. All
