Monitoring Child Socio-economic Rights in South Africa - Achievements and Challenges (Paperback)

The South African Constitution declares, in the Bill of Rights, that every child has the right to basic nutrition, shelter, basic health services and social services. The Bill of Rights also gives everyone, including children, rights to social security and basic education. Parents and the state, led by government, are the main players in translating children's rights into reality. But when parents are too poor or disadvantaged to do so, the state is legally obliged to step in. Over the first decade of democracy, the South African government made progress in rolling out services to poor people, including poor children, but poverty remains extensive. Monitoring Child Socio-Economic Rights in South Africa: Achievements and Challenges links the government's efforts to realise children's basic socio-economic rights to its legal obligations to do so, thereby aiming to contribute to eradicating child poverty in South Africa and ensuring that children live the quality of life they are entitled to.
