Book
Paperback. Condition: Very Good. 296 pages. Between 175,000 and 265,000 New Zealand children l ive in poverty, depending on the measure used. These disturbing f igures are widely discussed, yet often poorly understood. If New Zealand does not have 'third world poverty', what are these child ren actually experiencing? Is the real problem not poverty but si mply poor parenting? How does New Zealand compare globally and wh at measures of poverty and hardship are most relevant here? What are the consequences of this poverty for children, their families and society? Can we afford to reduce child poverty and, if we ca n, how? Jonathan Boston and Simon Chapple look hard at these ques tions, drawing on available national and international evidence a nd speaking to an audience across the political spectrum. Their a nalysis highlights the strong and urgent case for addressing chil d poverty in New Zealand. Crucially, the book goes beyond illustr ating the scale of this challenge, and why it must be addressed, to identifying real options for reducing child poverty. A range o f practical and achievable policies is presented, alongside candi d discussion of their strengths and limitations. These proposals for improving the lives of disadvantaged children deserve wide pu blic debate and make this a vitally important book for all New Ze alanders.
