amos roberts: it's early morning in a small village not far from the city of bangalore. kuma is cleaning the rickshaw that provides his family's livelihood. his wife nakama is washing the family's few dishes. and their children are getting ready for school. abilash, however, can't find his school shirt. amos: kuma but doesn't earn enough to buy spare shirts for the children. after paying for the hire of his rickshaw, he's lucky to make $4.00 or $5.00 a day, so clothes get held together with safety pins for as long as possible. while abilash helps his dad fix a puncture, his brother and sister have leftover rice for breakfast. their parents go without. amos: these kids are lucky. millions of indian children go to school on empty stomachs, their families too poor to give them breakfast or even lunch. but thanks to a quiet culinary revolution, they don't have to go hungry any longer. in a tiny kitchen on the school grounds, these two cooks are preparing lunch for 120 children. they've been doing it six days a week for the past four years. they clearly remember their own lon

to our representative about how they are optimizing their workforce, how they are moving jobs to bangalorethey are moving jobs and opportunities to china, moving jobs or opportunities to warsaw, poland, because these are places where they can hire workers at a huge discount. to the extent they would have to pay incrementally more for the next worker, they will export the job, so i agree -- until you see the reality of this inflation in the system, i'm not sure assuming it is coming is a good assumption. >> we are almost running out of time, so i'm going to ask each of you to give your best advice for prescription to try to bridge the divide we were talking about between market perception and what policymakers in china want. >> firstly, we hope there will be a recovery in the world economy, that this volatility will be reduced in scale, and i also hope that china will succeed in its structural reform and adjustment to avoid the middle income trap. >> i would say number one, clarity of communication. i would say number two, clarity of purpose. and i would say number three, implementation of

more than 17,500 children gathered in bangalore, india yesterday to highlight good oral hygiene.ould easily surpass the old mark for most people brushing their teeth, in one place. still to come on the newshour: the u.s. labor secretary on a solid year in job growth; mexico's infamous drug lord, captured again; outrage over mass sexual assaults in germany, and much more. >> woodruff: the final jobs report for 2015 helped finish the year off with solid growth. overall, the economy added 2.6 million jobs last year. combined with 2014, that led to a two-year gain in jobs that was the best since the late nineties. and yet, wage growth remained slow or modest at best for the year-- around 2.5%. tom perez is the secretary of labor, and he joins me now. welcome back to the program. >> pleasure to be with you and all your viewers. >> woodruff: so this is a strong year of growth. i saw one report that said -- called it a red-hot hiring spree. what's behind this? what was driving this? >> well, your introduction is really spot on. when you look at the last two years, not simply the last mo

similarly, we have another project where we try to provide a kiosk for women who live in slums in bangalore to find -- to search for jobs where they were employed as domestic laborers in private households. we set up basically a terminal in which the system was designed to be without tax so that women could still navigate and in research pilots were able to show women could navigate, find jobs and so forth. we eventually found actually getting employers to sign up on this particular system and providing the training and equipment needed qualified for those jobs was ultimately a much bigger task. here again we had working technologies that address a particular problem but it didn't handle the end to end issues at hand. technology may be solved at most 10% of the larger issues. a little over five years i worked on 50 or more projects, all of which were applied some kind of digital technology to the problems of health care, government, education, microcredit, agriculture and so forth and very, very often the situation was exact like i described where we define a solution that worked in a conte
