The Well-Being of Children in the UK: Fourth Edition
Editat de Jonathan Bradshawen Limba Engleză Paperback – 29 mar 2016
Now in its fourth edition, this classic assessment of the state of child well being in the United Kingdom brings this vital and highly topical issue up to date. Drawing on surveys and robust empirical analysis across the United Kingdom, and including intranational and international comparisons, this edition reviews the latest evidence, examining the impact of the economic crisis and austerity measures since 2008 on children’s lives. Edited by a highly regarded expert in the field, the fourth edition follows the same structure as previous installments, with each chapter covering a different domain of child well being, from health to housing and education, making this an excellent source book for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and students alike.

Recenzii
“With chapters written by exceptional authors, rich data, intra- and international comparison, and above all the leadership of Bradshaw, this is a most valuable publication for anyone who cares about children, wants to know more about their life, and to promote their well-being.”
“In the absence of an official ‘State of the Nation’ report on child well-being in the United Kingdom, this volume—like its predecessors—is the place to go. Offering rigorous and dispassionate analysis of the evidence, it makes sense of where we are and points to what needs to be done.”
“A significant contribution to improving our understanding of children’s well-being in contemporary Britain. Indeed, the text successfully brings together a vast amount of information in one accessible and compelling volume. . . . Its relevance is wide-ranging, and students, lecturers, researchers, and policy makers will all find it a useful resource.”
“Any effort to measure and monitor children’s well-being is about children and how we can positively affect their lives. Bradshaw stands at the forefront of this effort, worldwide and in the United Kingdom. His monumental work on the status of children in the United Kingdom is a superb example for a state of the child report. This third volume keeps up with his former works and beyond. It is rich in data and comparative perspectives and should be read and used by anyone working with and on behalf of children.”
