Innocenti Working Papers Pauvreté et privation des enfants au Mali : les premières estimations nationales AUTHOR(S) Marlous de Milliano; Sudhanshu Handa Published: 2014 Innocenti Working Papers Le chevauchement entre la pauvreté et les privations touche au total 29 % des enfants, ce qui signifie que les enfants victimes de privations ne vivent pas tous dans des ménages pauvres, c’est-à-dire aux revenus inférieurs au seuil national de pauvreté. C’est dans les zones rurales que la privation et la pauvreté monétaire sont le plus étroitement liées, et ce, pour tous les groupes d’âge. Une augmentation du revenu de 1 dollar par personne et par jour permettrait de réduire de 25 points la probabilité de privations dans les zones rurales. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 91 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Multiple deprivation, Social Policies | Tags: child poverty, child well-being, poverty mitigation × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Marlous de Milliano; Sudhanshu Handa 2014 Pauvreté et privation des enfants au Mali : les premières estimations nationales. , pp. 91.
Innocenti Working Papers Understanding Child Deprivation in the European Union: The Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (EU-Moda) Approach AUTHOR(S) Yekaterina Chzhen; Chris De Neubourg; Ilze Plavgo; Marlous de Milliano Published: 2014 Innocenti Working Papers Poverty has serious consequences for children’s well-being as well as for their achievements in adult life. The Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis for the European Union (EU-MODA) compares the living conditions of children across the EU member states, plus Iceland and Norway. Rooted in the established multidimensional poverty measurement tradition, EU-MODA uses the international framework of child rights to inform the construction of indicators and dimensions essential to children’s material well-being, taking into account the needs of children at various stages of their life cycle. The study contributes to the literature on monetary child poverty and material deprivation in the EU by analysing several dimensions of child deprivation individually and simultaneously, constructing multidimensional deprivation indices, and studying the overlaps between monetary poverty and multidimensional deprivation. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 34 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Social Policies | Tags: child poverty, child well-being, economic analysis, economic and social conditions, poverty alleviation × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Yekaterina Chzhen; Chris De Neubourg; Ilze Plavgo; Marlous de Milliano 2014 Understanding Child Deprivation in the European Union: The Multiple Overlapping Deprivation Analysis (EU-Moda) Approach. , pp. 34.

Innocenti Working Papers Significant Changes to Family-related Benefits in Rich Countries during the Great Recession AUTHOR(S) Saara Hämäläinen; Yekaterina Chzhen; Jorge Vargas Published: 2014 Innocenti Working Papers To analyse the effect of the economic crisis and the ensuing fiscal stimulus and/or consolidation measures on children’s living conditions across the OECD and/or the EU, this paper investigates changes in disposable incomes of low-wage households with children since 2008, with a particular focus on family-related benefits. It uses the model family method coupled with tax-benefit simulation techniques for the period 2008-2012. The paper also summarises qualitatively significant changes to family-related benefits, some of which are too recent to have been included in the publicly available tax-benefit simulation models. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 44 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Social Policies | Tags: economic crisis, income, policy and planning × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Saara Hämäläinen; Yekaterina Chzhen; Jorge Vargas 2014 Significant Changes to Family-related Benefits in Rich Countries during the Great Recession. , pp. 44.
Innocenti Working Papers Exploring the Late Impact of the Financial Crisis using Gallup World Poll Data AUTHOR(S) Goran Holmqvist; Luisa Natali Published: 2014 Innocenti Working Papers This paper explores the use of Gallup World Poll Data to assess the impact of the Great Recession on various dimensions of well-being in 41 OECD and/or EU countries from 2007 up until 2013. It should be read as a complementary background paper to the UNICEF Report Card which explores trends in child well-being in EU/OECD countries since 2007/8. Overall the findings provide clear indications that the crisis has had an impact across a number of self-reported dimensions of well-being. Indeed, a strong correlation between the intensity of the recession and the worsening of people’s perceptions about their own life is recorded since 2007. Data also indicate that the impact has still not peaked in a number of countries where indicators were still deteriorating as late as 2013. A “League Table” is also presented where countries are ranked in terms of change between 2007 and 2013 for four selected Gallup World Poll indicators related material well-being, perceptions of how society treats its children, health and subjective well-being. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 40 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Child well-being, Economic Development | Tags: child well-being, economic crisis, indicators, surveys × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Goran Holmqvist; Luisa Natali 2014 Exploring the Late Impact of the Financial Crisis using Gallup World Poll Data. , pp. 40.
Innocenti Report Card Children of the Recession: The impact of the economic crisis on child well-being in rich countries AUTHOR(S) Gonzalo Fanjul Published: 2014 Innocenti Report Card As the data in this new edition of the Innocenti Report Card series show, in the past five years, rising numbers of children and their families have experienced difficulty in satisfying their most basic material and educational needs. Most importantly, the Great Recession is about to trap a generation of educated and capable youth in a limbo of unmet expectations and lasting vulnerability. League Tables, the flagship tool of the Innocenti Report Card series, rank the change, since the onset of the crisis, in the poverty levels of children and the impact of the recession on youth. The Report also explores the effects of the recession on youth seeking to enter or remain in the labour force in the middle of a recession. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 48 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Child well-being | Tags: child poverty, children, economic crisis, economic depression, underemployment, unemployment, youth × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Gonzalo Fanjul 2014 Children of the Recession: The impact of the economic crisis on child well-being in rich countries. , pp. 48.

Innocenti Report Card Figli della recessione: L'impatto della crisi economica sul benessere dei bambini nei paesi ricchi AUTHOR(S) Gonzalo Fanjul Published: 2014 Innocenti Report Card Come dimostrano i dati riportati in questa nuova edizione della Innocenti Report Card, negli ultimi cinque anni è aumentato il numero di bambini e di famiglie che incontrano difficoltà a soddisfare le più fondamentali esigenze materiali ed educative. Cosa ancor più importante, la Grande Recessione sta per intrappolare una generazione di giovani istruiti e capaci in un limbo di aspettative insoddisfatte e di perdurante vulnerabilità. Delle classifiche forniscono una "graduatoria del benessere". Tali classifiche valutano infatti le variazioni, dall'inizio della crisi, dei livelli di povertà dei bambini e l'impatto della recessione sui giovani. Il rapporto esplore inoltre gli effetti della recessione sui giovani che cercano di entrare, o di rimanere, nel mondo del lavoro nel bel mezzo di una recessione. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 48 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Child well-being | Tags: child poverty, children, economic crisis, economic depression, underemployment, unemployment, youth × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Gonzalo Fanjul 2014 Figli della recessione: L'impatto della crisi economica sul benessere dei bambini nei paesi ricchi. , pp. 48.
Innocenti Working Papers Pre-crisis Conditions and Government Policy Responses: Chile and Mexico during the Great Recession AUTHOR(S) Bruno Martorano Published: 2014 Innocenti Working Papers Chile and Mexico reacted to the crisis by implementing several policy responses, they achieved different outcomes. In particular, the Chilean economy recovered faster than the Mexican one. However, the main differences are related to social outcomes. On one hand, the Gini coefficient decreased in both countries. On the other hand, both overall and child poverty dropped in Chile while they rose sharply in Mexico. , Chile introduced a stimulus package twice as large the Mexican one. When the financial crisis arrived in late 2008 - Chile and Mexico started from different positions, they generated a different public effort, which in turn led to different economic and social results. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 22 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Social Policies | Tags: cash transfers, economic depression, family policy, social protection × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Bruno Martorano 2014 Pre-crisis Conditions and Government Policy Responses: Chile and Mexico during the Great Recession. , pp. 22.
Innocenti Working Papers Changes in Child Poverty in the OECD/EU during the Great Recession: An initial view AUTHOR(S) Sudhanshu Handa; Luisa Natali; Yekaterina Chzhen; Bruno Martorano Published: 2014 Innocenti Working Papers Though not a measure of direct child well-being, the strong association between child development and household income makes income poverty a useful indicator of the trajectory of child well-being both in the short- and medium-term. During the period 2008-2012 child poverty rates increased in 23 of the 41 OECD countries for which we have comparable data; in total, approximately 6.6 million children became poor and 4 million left poverty for a net increase of 2.6 million. Five countries at the bottom of our Child Poverty League Table had child poverty increases that were over 10pp. However, due to their relative size and despite only modest increases in child poverty rates, Mexico and the United States are home to over half of the newly poor children during this period with 2 and 1.7 million respectively. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 28 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Industrialized Countries | Tags: child poverty, economic crisis, financial policy, fiscal policy, united states × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Sudhanshu Handa; Luisa Natali; Yekaterina Chzhen; Bruno Martorano 2014 Changes in Child Poverty in the OECD/EU during the Great Recession: An initial view. , pp. 28.
Innocenti Working Papers Child Poverty and the Great Recession in the United States AUTHOR(S) Marianne Bitler; Hilary Hoynes; Elira Kuka Published: 2014 Innocenti Working Papers In the midst of the Great Recession, median real household income fell from $61,597 in 2007 to $57,025 in 2010 and $51,007 in 2012. Given that the effects of the Great Recession on unemployment were greater for less skilled workers the authors expect the effects of the Great Recession on household incomes to be larger in relative terms for individuals in the lower end of the income distribution. To explore this issue, in this paper, they comprehensively examine the effects of the Great Recession on child poverty. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 36 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Economic Development, Social Policies | Tags: child well-being, economic and social conditions, economic crisis, monetary policy × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Marianne Bitler; Hilary Hoynes; Elira Kuka 2014 Child Poverty and the Great Recession in the United States. , pp. 36.
