Innocenti Working Papers Children in Bulgaria: Growing impoverishment and unequal opportunities AUTHOR(S) Roumiana Gantcheva Published: 2001 Innocenti Working Papers The social and economic changes in Bulgaria since the beginning of transition naturally raise concern about their impact on child well-being. This paper investigates the changes that occurred over the last decade in three dimensions of child welfare recognised as fundamental child rights economic well-being, health and education. Then it concentrates on particularly vulnerable groups of children those born of teenage and single mothers and those living in institutions. The data show that the human cost of economic transition has been high and children have been among the most vulnerable groups of the society. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 64 | Thematic area: Countries in Transition | Tags: child education, child health, child poverty, child welfare, economic policy, economic transition, institutionalized children, single mothers, social monitoring | Publisher: IRC × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Roumiana Gantcheva 2001 Children in Bulgaria: Growing impoverishment and unequal opportunities. , pp. 64.
