Who excludes? Young People's Experience of Social Exclusion
Existing policy research has not comprehensively examined the processes by which young people experience social exclusion: that is, the relationships among different risk factors for exclusion, their actual experiences of exclusion, and outcomes that matter for their life chances. Drawing on data from a survey of Australian 13-14 year olds (N=3,535), this paper adapts the Bristol Social Exclusion Matrix to examine pathways from young people's per…
System Wide Governance and Leadership
This workshop shares learning from the work of Midlothian Health and Social Care Partnership to develop a strategic governance and performance framework that supports person centred practice and assesses impact on outcomes for people. It is widely recognised that for person centred approaches to be sustained, they need to go beyond practice and be embedded within the culture, systems and processes of health and social care organisations. This pos…
Law 11.947/2009. The National School Food Program Reviseted
The aim of this work is to unveil the importance of the Brazilian National School Food Program towards solving the problems of hunger, malnutrition, food sovereignty, food culture (regional), as well as to assert to the new challenges imposed by covid-19 and the recent attempts to change this policy regulation. The changes provided by the law 11.947/2009 are both in accordance with the Brazilian 1988 Constitution and to the UN Sustainable Develop…
Deprivation and intra‐family conflict
Objective The study applies an adapted Family Stress Model (FSM) to analyze the relationship between child material deprivation and intra‐family conflict about money using a nationally representative survey of children in England in 2018. Background The standard FSM holds that poverty is experienced by parents who, in turn, impact children. Drawing on new social studies of childhood, the authors posit that the model does not recognize children as…

Can Schools and Education Policy Make Children Happier? A Comparative Study in 33 Countries
Our understanding of child subjective well-being and how to promote it has improved substantially over the last decade. In relation to the role of education policy in shaping subjective well-being, although valuable research has been conducted, many questions remain unanswered. This paper aims to fill this gap by studying the links between education policy and students’ life satisfaction. We use linear and multilevel regression to analyse PISA 20…
Child poverty and subjective well-being
Inequality, material well-being, and subjective well-being
Money Matters
This paper examines the links between household income and child subjective well-being. Previous studies produce contradictory findings: qualitative investigations indicate a strong relationship which is elusive in quantitative studies. I hypothesise that the reason for this discrepancy is that household-level measures of child poverty do not adequately capture children’s active roles in forming views on their material needs, assessing their comp…
Children's subjective well-being in relation to gender — What can we learn from dissatisfied children
Comparing Child Subjective Well-Being in South Korea and the UK
Child poverty in the UK
There is cross-party agreement on the urgency of addressing child poverty in the UK, but less consensus on how to define and measure it, and understand its causes and effects. The Conservative/Liberal Coalition government’s policy and rhetoric favoured individual explanations for poverty, portraying poor parents as making bad spending decisions, and transmitting their attitudes and behaviours on to their children. This article draws on the 2012 U…

Child Poverty and Children’s Subjective Well-Being
Children's necessities
Child poverty remains high on the UK political agenda. This paper informs these debates by examining trends over time in perceptions of child necessities, rates of child poverty and parental behaviours. Results indicate high levels of stability between 1999 and 2012 in public perceptions of child necessities, stable or increasing rates of child poverty and similarities in the profile of child poverty vulnerability. In both 1999 and 2012, findings…
The contribution of child maintenance payments to the income packages of lone mothers
Using the UK Families and Children Study (FACS) (2008-09 wave), this paper assesses the contribution made by child maintenance to the income packages of lone mothers and whether it helps to lift them out of poverty. Results show that, despite reforms implemented in October 2008 which allowed parents on means-tested benefits to keep up to £20 per week of child maintenance, the effect on poverty is disappointing. The median amount of payments remai…
