This book brings together a range of theoretical and empirical
perspectives on conceptualization, measurement, multidimensional
impacts and policy and service responses to address child and
family poverty. It illuminates issues and trends through country
level chapters, thus shedding light on dynamics of poverty in
different jurisdictions. The book is structured into three
sections: The first includes introductory chapters canvassing key
debates around definition, conceptualization, measurement and
theoretical and ideological positions. The second section covers
impacts of poverty on specific domains of children’s and
families’ experience using snapshots from specific
countries/geographic regions. The third section focuses on
programs, policies and interventions and addresses poverty and its
impacts. It showcases specific interventions, programs and policies
aimed at responding to children and families and communities and
how they are or might be evaluated. Cross national case studies and
evaluations illustrate the diversity of approaches and outcomes.
