Posted on 10-03-2009	Translate this page

The Children, Youth and the Environment journal, Vol. 19, No.2 (2009) published by the University of Colorado, Boulder is now available online. This special issue contains results form the 2008 GPIA-UNICEF conference, Rethinking Poverty: Making Policies That Work for Children. It includes articles on the identification and measurement of child poverty, the impact of environments of poverty on children, and the implications for policy and practice.

In the introduction titled The Everyday Environments of Children’s Poverty Sherridan Barlett and Alberto Minujin focus attention on a critical dimension of child poverty that has been relatively neglected in the past. They explore the idea that material and spatial realities are a potent dimension in children’s lives, arguing that the physical environment is not just the setting where things happen, but a force in its own right.
