CHILD WELL-BEING, CHILD POVERTY AND CHILD POLICY IN MODERN NATIONS
What do we know?
Edited by Koen Vleminckx, Department of Sociology, Catholic University

This book brings together economists, sociologists and social policy
analysts from America, Australia and Europe who have been studying the
extent of child poverty, its consequences for children and the
effectiveness of social policy in preventing child poverty. Clear
findings are presented to allow for easy identification of focus points
for policy makers committed to the reduction of child poverty.
"This volume assembles some of the world's greatest experts on child
poverty and welfare. Comparative in scope, it provides us with a truly
comprehensive, rigorous and up-to-date treatment of all the major
issues. This book is an absolute must for academics as well as policy
makers - by far the best available today." Gosta Esping-Andersen
