of the major challenges is flows across borders - and particularly
in-flows of non-European people. Immigration and minority
integration consistently occupy the headlines. The issues which

presented by politicians as its negative secondary effects.
Immigration is also intimately connected to the profound challenges
of demographic change, economic growth and welfare-state reform.
Both academic observers and the European public are increasingly

Child poverty and the well-being of children is an important policy
issue throughout the industrialised world. Some 47 million children
in 'rich' countries live in families so poor that their health and
well-being are at risk. The main themes addressed are: * the extent
and trend of child poverty in industrialised nations; * outcomes
for children - for example, the relationship between childhood
experiences and children's health; * country studies and emerging
issues; * child and family policies. All the contributions
underline the urgent need for a comprehensive policy to reduce
child poverty rates and to improve the well-being of children.
Findings are clearly presented and key focus points identified for
policy makers to consider.
