Funded Activity Summary

Childhood poverty in Indonesia. This project aims to offer solutions to childhood poverty in Indonesia, where over half the child population live on less than $2 per day. More effective responses to childhood poverty, one of the greatest challenges facing the world, are needed. This project will extend theories of multidimensional poverty to children, reflecting their experience and priorities; analyse similarities and differences between child- and adult-centred conceptualisations of childhood poverty; and develop a replicable child-centred methodology for assessing childhood poverty. The project expects to produce policy-relevant findings that move beyond adult-centric definitions and contribute to more effective responses to child poverty.
