Child poverty and the well-being of children is an important policy issue throughout the industrialised world. Some 47 million children in 'rich' countries live in families so poor that their health and well-being are at risk.
The main themes addressed are:
* the extent and trend of child poverty in industrialised nations;
* outcomes for children - for example, the relationship between childhood experiences and children's health;
* country studies and emerging issues;
* child and family policies.
All the contributions underline the urgent need for a comprehensive policy to reduce child poverty rates and to improve the well-being of children. Findings are clearly presented and key focus points identified for policy makers to consider.
