Full Description
This book examines child poverty among vulnerable populations in Australia, New Zealand, Finland and Sweden. The recent cost-of-living crisis and stagnation of wages has led to increased social exclusion of poorer families in high-income countries. Despite numerous policy efforts to eradicate child poverty in all four countries, many children continue to find themselves living in poverty. Utilising a multidisciplinary approach, this book analyses the ways in which poverty manifests in different countries, identifies which population groups are most at risk, and assesses the successes and failures of policies aimed at tackling child poverty. It will appeal to students and scholars of public policy, public administration and social policy, as well as policymakers and practitioners trying to tackle child poverty. It also ties in with the UN's sustainable development goal to end poverty in all its forms everywhere.
