Global Child Poverty and Well-Being

"This is an engaging, comprehensive, thoughtful, and thorough collection of evidence, ideas and expertise. It is indispensable in its pooled knowledge and picture of the possibilities for a world able to better tackle the suffering caused needlessly by the persistence of child poverty." Poverty and Public Policy "This substantial volume - 23 chapters - brings together most of the key authors in the field of global childhood poverty research and mulitidimensional management." Laura Camfield, International Migration Review "Global child poverty and well-being is a useful tool for those involved in child poverty research and policy." Journal of Children and Poverty "This is an important and ground-breaking study of an issue which should be of serious concern to every human being on the planet. Alberto Minujin & Shailen Nandy's text needs to be widely and closely read." Lord Puttnam, CBE. "This important book provides a comprehensive and damning indictment of the extent of child poverty across the globe, in rich countries as well as poor. Yet as, argued here, child poverty could be radically reduced and eventually eliminated through appropriate and feasible policies. This book should be read by policy-makers world-wide.
