Summary:
"This is a study of child poverty in a fast-changing region ... Pursuing a child rights perspective, the study sets out to measure and understand better the nature and scale of child poverty, as distinct from adult poverty; it highlights the large disparities in child well-being which have emerged in this period of economic expansion, between countries, between regions in countries, and between families; it points to a way in which governments in the region could more effectively address marginalisation and disparities among children." - back cover.
