Child Poverty, Evidence and Policy - Mainstreaming Children in International Development (Hardcover, New)

Recent studies suggest that current policy approaches to tackling childhood poverty have had limited efficacy. In the developing world, the problem is more challenging still, as highlighted by the large number of countries that are off track in meeting the child-related Millennium Development Goals. This timely book highlights the importance of integrating children's voices into the debate, bringing together a theoretical discussion of childhoods, children's experiences of poverty and development discourses, as well as empirical case studies from the developing world. Weaving together theory and mixed method approaches, the book provides an introduction to students and development professionals who are new to debates on children and development, offering scholars in the field new methodological and empirical insights.
