Over the past decade, the European Union and national policy-makers
alike have paid more attention to childhood poverty and children's
rights. Whether this has led to better policies, and whether these
policies have in turn resulted in less childhood poverty and more
human dignity, remains debatable. Children's rights may provide
some common ground for the different perspectives on the causes of
poverty. They also introduce specific process requirements, in
particular the participation of the poor. At the same time,
children's rights may gain from an encounter with child poverty
studies, not least in grasping the complexity of child poverty and
in making a realistic assessment of their own potential for
addressing child poverty. This book introduces several approaches
in the field of child poverty and children's rights studies, and
identifies intersections between different theoretical approaches
from both domains. It is a collaborative project of Centrum OASeS
and the UNICEF Chair in Children's Rights, both located at the
University of Antwerp. The Chair, established in 2007, acts as a
knowledge broker of children's rights within the academic community
and between the academic community and policy and practice, through
teaching, research, and service to the community. The research
topics of the Centrum OASeS include poverty and other forms of
social exclusion, ethnic minorities, urban policy, social economy
and supported employment, and social networks.
