Sommario/riassunto |
|
Globally, 400 million children are living in extreme poverty; nearly 600,000 Australian children live in relative poverty. What are the absolute and relative measures of poverty and deprivation for children in developing and developed countries? How does poverty impact children's health, development and wellbeing? How can impoverished children be given a better chance in life? The prevalence and problems of child poverty are explored from a global and Australian perspective. |
