The brief reviews the latest data regarding child poverty and highlights best practices in tackling child poverty and was launched on the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty (17 October). The Bristol Poverty Institute are one of the contributors.
The brief outlines key building blocks for how countries can address child poverty and offers evidence and experience to support national discussion on the best policy options for children.
-
Build national support by ensuring that reducing child poverty is an explicit national priority.
-
Expand child-sensitive social protection
-
Improve access to quality public services, especially for the poorest children.
-
Promote decent work and inclusive growth agenda to reach families and children in poverty.
The building blocks are discussed as an entry point to identify the types of policies that can help overcome child poverty and its impacts.
