Publisher's Synopsis
Over the past decade, EU and national policy-makers alike have paid more attention to childhood poverty and childrenÆs rights. Whether this has led to better policies, and whether these policies have in turn resulted in less childhood poverty and more human dignity, remains debatable. A better understanding of both child poverty and childrenÆs rights could help. This book introduces several approaches in the field of child poverty and childrenÆs rights studies, and identifies intersections between different theoretical approaches from both domains. It is a fruitful exercise for the academic disciplines involved, for policy-makers and for anyone taking an interest in these challenging subjects.
