Young 'would work to stop all wars' | guardian.co.uk

Children would rather stop all wars than combat climate change, a survey has found.

A First News poll of around 1,000 youngsters revealed the majority would put global issues at the top of their list of priorities if they were a world leader for a day.

A third (43%) said they would stop all wars, while just over a quarter (29%) listed ending world hunger as their top priority.

Almost one in six (17%) said they would want to stop climate change.

Around one in eight (12%) said their first job would be to bring in a three-day weekend, while 8% said their top priority would be banning homework.
