Children and Poverty: A Review of Contemporary Literature and Thought on Children and Poverty

Abstract

In 2002, Christian Children’s Fund (CCF) commissioned a comprehensive study on the experience and the impact of poverty on children. What resulted was a three-part series which offers a fascinating and thought-provoking summary of major issues concerning the entrapments and seemingly endless cycles of poverty. This series challenges many of the standard operating assumptions which may well be invalid. Even the role of children impacted by poverty may be quite different from the common understanding. This review is offered as the first piece in the three-part series. CCF offers this study to our community and colleagues as a contribution to our common effort to reduce poverty plaguing the world’s children. There are controversial conclusions in this study document. We hope that you will find these collected insights as valuable and as challenging as we do.
