Bolivia
A landlocked nation known for its diverse landscapes,

Only 72% of adolescents of lower secondary age attend school.
During working years, each rural worker without higher education forgoes $10,000+ of earning potential per year, equivalent to over 100% of current income.
Bolivia is one of the poorest nations in Latin America.
14% of children aged 5-17 are engaged in child labor.
