Global Child Poverty and Well-being, Measurement, concepts, policy and action
Shailen Nandy, Alberto Minujin, (Editors)
Child poverty is a central and present part of global life, with
hundreds of millions of children around the world enduring tremendous
suffering and deprivation of their most basic needs. Despite its long
history, research on poverty and development has only relatively
recently examined the issue of child poverty as a distinct topic of
concern. This book brings together theoretical, methodological and
policy-relevant contributions by leading researchers on international
child poverty. With a preface from Sir Richard Jolly, Former Assistant
Secretary General of the United Nations, it examines how child poverty
and well-being are now conceptualized, defined and measured, and
presents regional and national level portraits of child poverty around
the world, in rich, middle income and poor countries. The book's
ultimate objective is to promote and influence policy, action and the
research agenda to address one of the world's great ongoing tragedies:
child poverty, marginalization and inequality.
