Opis

Now in its fourth edition, this classic assessment of the state of child well being in the United Kingdom brings this vital and highly topical issue up to date. Drawing on surveys and robust empirical analysis across the United Kingdom, and including intranational and international comparisons, this edition reviews the latest evidence, examining the impact of the economic crisis and austerity measures since 2008 on children s lives. Edited by a highly regarded expert in the field, the fourth edition follows the same structure as previous installments, with each chapter covering a different domain of child well being, from health to housing and education, making this an excellent source book for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and students alike."
