Desigualdad socioeconómica y acceso diferencial a las tecnologías digitales de niñas y niños en la Argentina
La desigualdad socioeconómica en Argentina entre los niños y las familias, como en la mayoría de los países, es un hecho estructural que se ha medido desde que se dispone de datos adecuados para hacerlo. Esta desigualdad se expresa tanto en la pobreza monetaria, que en Argentina supera actualmente al 60% de la población menor de 18 años, como en las privaciones no monetarias que afectan a más de la mitad de las niñas y niños del país. La pandemia…
Child Poverty, Youth (Un)Employment, and Social Inclusion
Worldwide child and youth poverty remain the biggest barrier to achieving a better life in adulthood. Progress in lifting children out of poverty in the last decades has been slow and limited in the developing world, while the recent global economic crisis has exacerbated child poverty, youth unemployment, and social exclusion in many developed countries. This book critically examines the long-term consequences of growing up poor, the close linka…
Assessing Sustainable Development Goals from the standpoint of equity for children
The article develops a discourse about equality for children and their recent evolution from adult-centred consideration to definition as a separate, critical constituency as stated in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with their child-focused goals and targets. Challenges implementing equality and fairness are discussed, from the World Summit for Children (WSC) in 1990 to the nearly simultaneous ratification of the Convention on the Righ…
Redefining poverty
This article presents the first measurement of multidimensional child poverty at the regional level in East Asia and the Pacific and is based on child poverty studies in seven countries in the region: Cambodia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Philippines, Thailand, Vanuatu and Viet Nam. It examines the prevalence of child poverty, as per the Bristol deprivation approach, in the seven countries, as well as the extent of various types of disparities within thes…

Incidence, Depth and Severity of Children in Poverty
The definition of child poverty
This paper presents and discusses different concepts of child poverty, alternative definitions of children living in poverty, and measurement efforts in this regard. It addresses such questions as: who are the children living in poverty? Is the issue of children living in poverty recognized by and incorporated into anti-poverty strategies? Have governments, civil society organizations and international organizations identified and adopted policie…
Socio-economic inequalities in mortality and health in the developing world
Trends in child mortality disparities show that within country inequities have remained constant in some countries and worsened in most of the other ones. Only three countries, with relatively small populations which comprise less than 2 per cent of ou
Mind the Gap! Widening Child Mortality Disparities
In parallel to the substantial expansion in global economic transactions and growth during the 1990s, there is evidence that the number of poor has increased and that income disparity among and within countries grew as well. There is, however, considerably less evidence about the situation of children related to these matters. Within this context, this paper explores the evolution of social disparities by analysing the trends in the Under-5 Morta…
Economic growth, poverty and children
This paper discusses the different dimensions of poverty, with a particular focus on non-monetary aspects, and describes the limitations and inaccuracies inherent in the US$ 1 a day poverty line now widely used in cross-country comparisons. It highlights how little attention is given to the aspects of poverty that most affect children and explains why addressing these issues is an effective approach to poverty reduction. The authors discuss why e…

This paper describes the significant fall in income experienced by a majority of the population in Latin America during the 1980s and how this also increased inequality. The sharp fall in the income of many households, who previously had been part of the middle-class, meant a rapid increase in the “new poor”. The paper considers the scale of the “new poor” and how they differed from the people who were already poor prior to the 1980s crisis. It a…
