How “shock-proof” are child well-being indices in high-income countries? Implications for research and policy post-crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis have raised concerns about the relevance and reliability of current measures and indices of child well-being. This article aims to bridge a significant knowledge gap by examining how these indices respond to shocks and exploring attributes of shock-responsive indicators related to child well-being. Drawing on the UNICEF Innocenti Report Card 16 on child well-being and the Korean Child Well-being…
Teacher Training and Textbook Distribution Improve Early Grade Reading
While numerous studies evaluate the effectiveness of teacher training and textbook distribution programs, few look at the effects of training programs on vulnerable students, those at the lower end of academic performance. Addressing this gap is important to improve the efficiency of student learning and address the equity gaps in early education. Our study makes this point with two models of a program that combines teacher training with textbook…

Child and Family Policies in a Time of Economic Crisis
At the beginning of 2008, a number of the world’s major economies began to experience the effects of the biggest economic financial crisis in history. By the end of that year, the financial crisis was a global recession, and governments responded with changes to a suite of social and economic policies. Two broad stages of government response are identifiable: a period of stimulus followed by a move towards austerity. This study views the crisis p…

Variations in the take-up of Pension Credit
This article explores variation in the take-up of Pension Credit using secondary analysis of the Family Resources Survey 2004/05. Respondents under-report receipt of Pension Credit. As a result of an exercise undertaken by Department for Work and Pensions statisticians to match respondents with administrative data on receipt of Pension Credit, it was possible to explore the differences in the characteristics of those who do and do not report rece…
Does Child Income Poverty Measure Child Well-Being Internationally
To date the main indicator used to compare the well-being of children in industrialised countries has been the proportion of children in income poverty. This article exploits data from recent work developing indices of child well-being in EU, OECD and CEE/CIS countries to explore whether child income poverty is a good representation of a wider understanding of child well-being. Using the poverty estimates in each index, as well as more recent est…
Child poverty and child well‐being in Europe
European Union (EU) indicators on poverty and social exclusion employ only two child breakdowns: the proportion of children living in households with incomes below 60% of the national median using the modified OECD equivalence scale and the proportion of children living in workless households. The UK also uses these indicators in the Opportunities for All series. This article first develops a new indicator of child poverty based on income, subjec…
