Overpopulation and Underemployment: Faces of Poverty in Manila

MANILA, PHILIPPINES - AUGUST 21: A young boy holds his stash of bottles filled with solvent, glue mixed with nail polish remover purchased for about 10 pesos or about 20 cents in the slums of Binondo August 21, 2012 in Manila, Philippines. Many youth escape the hardship of daily life by sniffing the toxic mix of solvents which is common, cheap and available in the slum areas. Manila has a population of 20 million people which is rising by approximately another quarter of a million every year. Due to overcrowding a third of the city dwellers are forced to live on any bit of spare land they can manage mostly in makeshift settlements under bridges, railway lines and even cemeteries. Large families are a common statistic in a conservative Catholic county that is pushing the government's already weak social care system to it's limit. (Photo by Paula Bronstein/Getty Images)
