Child poverty is rising across affluent Western societies; how it
is measured is vital to how governments act to prevent, alleviate
or eliminate it. While the roots of childhood poverty are fiercely
debated and contested, they are all too often misrepresented in
policy and media discourses. Seeking to redress this problem,
Treanor places children's experiences, needs and concerns at the
centre of this critical examination of the contemporary policies
and political discourses surrounding poverty in childhood. She
examines a broad range of structural, institutional and ideological
factors common across developed nations, and their impacts, to
interrogate how poverty in childhood is conceptualised and
operationalised in policy and to forge a radical pathway for an
alternative future.
