Innocenti Report Card Medición de la pobreza infantil: Nuevas tablas clasificatorias de la pobreza infantil en los países ricos del mundo AUTHOR(S) Peter Adamson Published: 2012 Innocenti Report Card Los informes anteriores de esta serie han demostrado que no proteger a los niños de la pobreza es uno de los errores más costosos que puede cometer una sociedad. Son los propios niños quienes asumen el mayor de todos los costos, pero también sus países deben pagar un muy alto precio por su error: menor nivel de competencias y productividad, menor nivel de logros en materia de salud y educación, mayor probabilidad de desempleo y dependencia de la seguridad social, mayor costo de los sistemas de protección judicial y social, y pérdida de cohesión social. En el presente informe se incluyen los datos más recientes comparables a nivel internacional sobre privación infantil y pobreza infantil relativa. Tomadas en su conjunto, estas dos medidas diferentes ofrecen el mejor panorama disponible actualmente sobre la pobreza infantil en las naciones más ricas del mundo. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 36 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Industrialized Countries, Social Policies | Tags: child poverty, economic analysis, economic and social conditions, european union, oecd, poverty, poverty reduction × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Peter Adamson 2012 Medición de la pobreza infantil: Nuevas tablas clasificatorias de la pobreza infantil en los países ricos del mundo. , pp. 36.
Innocenti Report Card Measuring Child Poverty: New league tables of child poverty in the world's rich countries AUTHOR(S) Peter Adamson Published: 2012 Innocenti Report Card Report Card 10 considers two views of child poverty in the world’s advanced economies: a measure of absolute deprivation, and a measure of relative poverty. The first measure is a 14-item Child Deprivation Index that represents a significant new development in international monitoring, drawing on data from the European Union’s Statistics on Incomes and Living Conditions survey of 125,000 households in 31 European countries, which has included a section on children for the first time. Children were considered 'deprived' if they lacked two or more of the items, which ranged from three meals a day, to an Internet connection. The second measure covers the EU and an additional six OECD countries (Australia, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United States) and examines the percentage of children living below their national 'poverty line' - defined as 50 per cent of median disposable household income. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 36 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Industrialized Countries, Social Policies | Tags: child poverty, econometric analysis, economic and social conditions, european union, oecd, poverty, poverty reduction × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Peter Adamson 2012 Measuring Child Poverty: New league tables of child poverty in the world's rich countries. , pp. 36.
Innocenti Report Card Mesurer la pauvreté des enfants : Nouveaux tableaux de classement de la pauvreté des enfants dans les pays riches AUTHOR(S) Peter Adamson Published: 2012 Innocenti Report Card Les précédents rapports de la série des Bilans révèlent que lorsqu’une société ne protège pas les enfants contre la pauvreté, elle commet une erreur très coûteuse. En effet, si les enfants en sont les principales victimes, les pays en subissent également les conséquences et doivent affronter la baisse des compétences et de la productivité, la dégradation des niveaux de santé et d’instruction, l’augmentation du risque de chômage et de dépendance à l’égard de l’aide sociale, l’élévation des coûts de la protection sociale et des systèmes judiciaires, ainsi que l’érosion de la cohésion sociale. D’un point de vue économique, à l’exception du très court terme, la société a donc tout intérêt à prévenir la pauvreté des enfants. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 36 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Industrialized Countries, Social Policies | Tags: child poverty, child well-being, econometric analysis, economic crisis, europe, incentives, oecd countries, poverty × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Peter Adamson 2012 Mesurer la pauvreté des enfants : Nouveaux tableaux de classement de la pauvreté des enfants dans les pays riches. , pp. 36.

Innocenti Report Card As crianças que ficam para trás: Uma tabela classificativa da desigualdade no bem-estar das crianças nos países ricos AUTHOR(S) Peter Adamson Published: 2010 Innocenti Report Card O presente Report Card apresenta uma primeira visão global das desigualdades no bem-estar das crianças em 24 dos países mais ricos do mundo. São examinadas três dimensões da desigualdade: bem-estar material, educação e saúde. Em cada um dos casos e para cada país, a questão que se coloca é "até que ponto estão as crianças a ser deixadas para trás?" O presente relatório defende a ideia de que as crianças merecem ter o melhor começo possível, que as primeiras experiências podem lançar uma longa sombra sobre as suas vidas e que as crianças não podem ser responsabilizadas pelas circunstâncias em que nascem. Neste sentido, o parâmetro utilizado - o grau de desigualdade na base da pirâmide ao nível do bem-estar das crianças - mede os progressos que estão a ser feitos no sentido de uma sociedade mais justa. Reunindo dados relativos à maioria dos países da OCDE, o relatório tenta demonstrar quais destes países estão a deixar que as crianças fiquem para trás mais do que o necessário na educação, saúde e bem-estar material (utilizando os países com melhores desempenhos como padrão mínimo para o que pode ser alcançado). Chamando a atenção para a profundidade das disparidades reveladas, e resumindo o que se sabe sobre as suas consequências, defende-se que o "ficar para trás" é uma questão fundamental, não só para milhões de crianças na actualidade, mas também para o futuro económico e social dos seus países. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 36 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Industrialized Countries | Tags: child poverty, comparative analysis, education, health, housing conditions, nutrition, policy and planning, social conditions, social indicators × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Peter Adamson 2010 As crianças que ficam para trás: Uma tabela classificativa da desigualdade no bem-estar das crianças nos países ricos. , pp. 36.
Innocenti Report Card The Children Left Behind: A league table of inequality in child well-being in the world's rich countries AUTHOR(S) Peter Adamson Published: 2010 Innocenti Report Card This Report Card presents a first overview of inequalities in child well-being for 24 of the world’s richest countries. Three dimensions of inequality are examined: material well-being, education, and health. In each case and for each country, the question asked is ‘how far behind are children being allowed to fall?’ The report argues that children deserve the best possible start, that early experience can cast a long shadow, and that children are not to be held responsible for the circumstances into which they are born. In this sense the metric used - the degree of bottom-end inequality in child well-being - is a measure of the progress being made towards a fairer society. Bringing in data from the majority of OECD countries, the report attempts to show which of them are allowing children to fall behind by more than is necessary in education, health and material well-being (using the best performing countries as a minimum standard for what can be achieved). In drawing attention to the depth of disparities revealed, and in summarizing what is known about the consequences, it argues that ‘falling behind’ is a critical issue not only for millions of individual children today but for the economic and social future of their nations tomorrow. + - Cite this publication | No. of pages: 36 | Thematic area: Child Poverty, Industrialized Countries | Tags: child poverty, comparative analysis, education, health, housing conditions, industrialized countries, nutrition, policy and planning, poverty, social conditions, social indicators × COPY BIBLIOGRAPHIC CITATION Peter Adamson 2010 The Children Left Behind: A league table of inequality in child well-being in the world's rich countries. , pp. 36.
