Global Child Poverty and Well-Being
Author: Minujin, AlbertoPublisher: Policy Press
ISBN: 1447312767
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 511
Book Description
Child poverty is a central and present part of global life, with hundreds of millions of children around the world enduring tremendous suffering and deprivation of their most basic needs. Despite its long history, research on poverty and development has only relatively recently examined the issue of child poverty as a distinct topic of concern. This book brings together theoretical, methodological and policy-relevant contributions by leading researchers on international child poverty. With a preface from Sir Richard Jolly, Former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations, it examines how child poverty and well-being are now conceptualized, defined and measured, and presents regional and national level portraits of child poverty around the world, in rich, middle income and poor countries. The book's ultimate objective is to promote and influence policy, action and the research agenda to address one of the world's great ongoing tragedies: child poverty, marginalization and inequality.

Book Description
Abstract: "Over the last two decades, Uganda has registered impressive economic growth accompanied by a signi cant reduction in income poverty, from 56 per cent in 1992 to 25 per cent in 2010. Consequently, the country has met the rst Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) target of cutting the poverty level in half by 2015. However, with less than two years until the deadline set by the international community to attain the MDGs, the recent Uganda MDG progress report gives evidence that this accomplishment has not been accompanied by improvements in other important areas. It shows that Uganda's performance on child-related MDGs indicators such as nutrition, health and education, remains `o -track' (MFPED, 2010). In this way, the Uganda MDGs progress report for 2010 a rms that progress in one dimension of human well-being is not necessarily associated with improvements in others, and that to be comprehensive, any assessment of human deprivation needs to be done in a multidimensional framework. Therefore, this study aims to examine the incidence, intensity and determinants of multimensional child poverty in Uganda."
