| Descripción: | Website with practical materials to assess the impact economic policies and trends on child poverty. Economic trends and policies affect children through their impact on household income, employment, access to health, nutrition and education. The food and financial crises, together with climate change, rapid urbanization and fiscal adjustments, among others, profoundly affect children, particularly the most impoverished and marginalized.
This UNICEF website gives policymakers, UN staff, rights advocates, academics and practitioners analytical tools, practical means to assess and formulate timely and effective responses to crises, economic shocks and policy reforms, and to analyze the social impacts of economic trends. The range of instruments presented in this website include: Rapid Surveys and Sentinel Site Monitoring; Macro-micro Models and Micro-accounting Methodologies; Ex-ante Poverty and Social Impact Assessments Child Rights Impact Assessments; Empirical Ex-post Analysis; Social Budget Tracking and Analysis; and recent Innovative Desk Reviews. Supporting documents such as country cases, briefing notes, presentations, simulation tools and surveys questionnaires are also available for download. The site is linked to initiatives underway across UNICEF connecting research with data collection tools such as ChildInfo and other UN data, to encourage policymakers and advocates to lend greater attention to children’s rights and the UNs calls to integrate economic and social policy. |
