| Participants | Amélia Bastos (Principal Investigator), Maria Eugénia Ferrão |
| Summary | This project continues the investigation iniciated in the previous year. In this context an article has been already published and a conference presentation has occurred at Universidade dos Açores. The aim of this project is to develop a multidimensional approach to the problem of child poverty. The scale of the problem and its long lasting consequences suggest an obvious reason for social concern about the future vulnerable children. The design of effective social policies to alleviate this problem is needed. However, to assure the efficiency of such policies the knowledge of child poverty features, is required. The research developed in this project intends to contribute to this knowledge by designing a picture of the problem and shedding light in its dynamics aspects. We use a multidimensional concept of poverty in order to capture the various dimensions of the problem. |
