1.
Why? (Background)
• Persistence of poverty == weak progress toward the MDGs
• Progress towards MDGs BUT millions of children and women
left-behind
• 50% of children in the developing world severely deprived of
one or more of the following seven dimensions of poverty:
nutrition, health, education, water, sanitation, information, and
housing.
- Need for a Global Study on child poverty and disparities
-> contribute to a comprehensive strategy for making
countries’ development, social protection and sector
strategies more responsive to child poverty
2. What for? (Purpose)
•
•
•
Strengthen the profile of children at the national
policy debates;
Influence the economic and social policies that
affect resource allocations;
Make children a priority in national programs.
Through:
•
Leveraging evidence, analysis, policy and partnership
to deliver results for ALL children.
•
Making policymakers and the public better able to
identify and address gaps in current responses.
•
Identifying how public policies could be more effective
responses for realising children’s rights and ending
child poverty.
Analytical “lens” of the study:
Poverty and disadvantages of families with
children (analysis of poverty at family level)
How public policies could more
effectively reduce child deprivations
(analysis of solutions at both levels)
Increasingly specific
Gaps and opportunities in national PR strategies (overall analysis)
3. In what sense?
(Conceptual Framework)(2)
Analyse the links between economic and social policy and
children’s outcomes:
1. how poverty impacts
children (what factors
explain progress and
disparities in child
outcomes)
2. how public policies,
private and civil society
efforts affect these
outcomes (Who benefits,
who is left out, how?)
3. In what sense?
(Conceptual Framework) (3)
Comprehensive child poverty concept
considers:
1) Income and non-income factors that
determine the fulfillment of child rights
2) Impact of resource scarcity and deprivations
on children
3) Childhood separate from adulthood (life cycle
approach)
4) Children deprived of a safe and caring
environment are also most likely to experience
other deprivations
In what sense?
(Conceptual Framework)(4)
Examine 5 areas of
public policy:
1. Family
income/assets
2. Maternal and child
nutrition
3. Child and parental
health
4. Child Protection
5. Education
4. What? (Outputs)
1.) Policy Template
- assess existing national efforts aimed at reducing child poverty
- assess disparities in MDG progress,
- use national policy documents, including NTP-PRs, budget
documents, reports to UN treaty bodies and sector approaches, etc.
2.) Statistical Template
- compile data on poverty and child outcomes
- Use data from MICS3, VHLSS, DHS, census, etc
3.) Country Analysis Report
- analyse policies and outcomes
- identify the linkages between policy and child outcomes
- Use 1 and 2 above
