Description
Child poverty is a pressing global issue, affecting hundreds of millions of children worldwide who face immense suffering and deprivation. Despite its long history, research has only recently focused on child poverty as a distinct topic.
This book brings together leading researchers to examine how child poverty and well-being are conceptualized, defined, and measured, with regional and national level portraits of child poverty presented in rich, middle-income, and poor countries. The aim is to promote policy action and research to address one of the world's most significant ongoing tragedies: child poverty and inequality.
