Study on Child Poverty and Child Well-Being in the EU
Combating child poverty and improving child well-being have become key
issues on
the policy agenda of the EU and Members States. Following the work
carried out in
2007 and 2008 by the European Commission and the Member States in the
context of
the European Strategy for Social Inclusion, notably the report prepared
by the EU
Task-Force on Child Poverty and Child Well-Being, a new study has been
launched
this year to contribute to the development of more coherent and integrated
policies in this area. The study was carried out by TÁRKI Social Research
Institute (Budapest), in collaboration with Applica (Brussels), with
contributions from the European Centre
(http://www.euro.centre.org/detail.php?xml_id=1439).
The main aim of the report was to:
- identify the main determinants of child poverty and social exclusion in
Europe and across the Member States;
- provide an overview and assess the effectiveness of existing policies on
income support and access to the labour market and enabling services of
parents;
- define a reduced set of indicators which best reflect the
multi-dimensional
nature of child well-being, suitable for monitoring policies aimed at
reducing child poverty, enhancing the welfare of children and improving
their
life-chances.
We would be grateful if you could share this information with others you
may
think are interested in this topic.

information more
