Ending Child Poverty and Securing Child Rights: the role of social protection

Submitted by crinadmin on

Summary: This paper will examine the new understandings of social protection and how these
relate to child rights. It will argue that social protection instruments, and in particular, cash transfers have enormous potential to reduce child poverty. However, in order to maximise the benefits for child wellbeing, social protection systems need to be grounded within a rights based approach and linked to wider development in an
holistic manner.Owner: Philippa Thomaspdf: http://www.crin.org/docs/Plan_Ending_Child_Poverty.pdf
