Child policy, children's rights and child poverty: a comparative study
This study analyses child and family policies in four-five countries focusing on children's rights and child poverty as defined by the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UN CRC); economic welfare, capabilities and social exclusion. This study will compare four areas of policies since the signing or ratification of the UN CRC; family benefits, child maintenance (support), early childhood education and after-school or recreational programs
