Innocenti Working Papers Commitment to Equity for Children, CEQ4C: Fiscal Policy, Multidimensional Poverty, and Equity in Uganda AUTHOR(S) Jose Cuesta; Jon Jellema; Yekaterina Chzhen; Lucia Ferrone Published: 2018 Innocenti Working Papers Fiscal incidence analysis is the most widely used methodology to assess the distributional effects of fiscal policies. However, for 40 years, it has lacked a child lens. A child focus on the redistributive capacity of fiscal policy is increasingly important due to the disproportionate incidence of poverty among children globally. This paper provides a child-dedicated focus on fiscal incidence analysis by tracking child-relevant benefits, turning children the unit of analysis, and using multidimensional child poverty metrics. The analysis—Commitment to Equity for Children, or CEQ4C—integrates three analytical frameworks, namely, public finance, fiscal incidence analysis, and multidimensional child poverty analysis. The paper develops a proof of concept for Uganda that includes measurement, diagnostics, and a policy simulation package replicable across diverse contexts. The proof of concept confirms that CEQ4C provides a higher-resolution fiscal incidence analysis for children than the traditional fiscal incidence analysis. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 26 | Thematic area: Social Policies | Tags: child poverty, fiscal policy × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Jose Cuesta; Jon Jellema; Yekaterina Chzhen; Lucia Ferrone 2018 Commitment to Equity for Children, CEQ4C: Fiscal Policy, Multidimensional Poverty, and Equity in Uganda. , pp. 26.
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.
