Shocks and the changing profiles of children living in poverty

Feb 10

Written By UNICEF

In a world increasingly characterized by fragility and shocks, it is essential to evaluate and understand the changing profiles of children living in poverty, to expand UNICEF´s and partners' awareness and understanding of these changing patterns, and to explore the critical implications in terms of policy and programmatic responses, including through social protection.

Using the example of a global shock, the COVID-19 pandemic, and research conducted by UNICEF Innocenti - Global Office of Research and Foresight, this policy brief examines the changing profiles of children living in poverty in two country contexts, Georgia and Uganda, and assesses the broader policy implications.
