Innocenti Working Papers Demographic Challenges and the Implications for Children in CEE/CIS AUTHOR(S) Leonardo Menchini; Sheila Marnie Published: 2007 Innocenti Working Papers The first part of this paper documents the striking changes in population size and structures which have occurred since the beginning of transition, and which have led to a substantial reduction in the child population. It is argued that they have been mainly driven by the drop in birth rates which has characterised the whole region, but which has been most dramatic in the CEE and Western CIS. Some countries in these subregions now rank among those with the lowest levels of fertility in the world, and the shrinking cohorts of children in these countries face the prospect of a growing old-age dependency burden. The second part of the paper discusses recent data on infant and under-five mortality, which are direct measures of child well-being, and of the success of policy measures aimed at improving child survival and development. The paper highlights the marked differences not only in levels, but also in progress in reducing mortality rates across the CEE/CIS. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 52 | Thematic area: Countries in Transition | Tags: birth rate, child mortality, child survival, demographic change, right to survival and development, under five mortality rate × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Leonardo Menchini; Sheila Marnie 2007 Demographic Challenges and the Implications for Children in CEE/CIS. , pp. 52.
Innocenti Publications TransMONEE 2007 Features: Data and analysis on the lives of children in CEE/CIS and Baltic States Published: 2007 Innocenti Publications Despite recent economic growth, many children in the CEE/CIS Region remain vulnerable. Thousands of children continue to die before their first birthday, and increasing numbers of children are in formal care. Many young people lack employment opportunities and are at risk of marginalization. The tools to monitor these trends are often lacking, not standardized, or not routinely deployed. TRANSMONEE Features, along with the TRANSMONEE database, focuses on different aspects of children's lives, draws attention to mechanisms for monitoring trends and uses data to illuminate neglected issues. TRANSMONEE 2007 Features: Data and analysis on the lives of children in CEE/CIS and Baltic States looks closely at child survival; the forces behind the recent demographic changes occurring across the region, the challenges facing young people in their transition from school to work, and the issue of children growing up without parental care. Included with the print publication is a CD containing the MONEEInfo version of the TRANSMONEE database. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 58 | Thematic area: Countries in Transition | Tags: child survival, child survival and development, economic indicators, economic transition, institutionalized children, right to appropriate standards of care, right to care and protection, social indicators, transition from school to work × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION 2007 TransMONEE 2007 Features: Data and analysis on the lives of children in CEE/CIS and Baltic States. , pp. 58.

По-прежнему тысячи детей умирают в течение первого года жизни. Все больше детей находятся под официальной опекой.
