The Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre is a collaborative research and policy programmer which involves Save the Children, the Chronic Poverty Research Centre (CPRC) and partners in China, India, Kyrgyzstan and Mongolia.
The most up-to-date information I finds important is , out of 100 children born in 2000, 30 will most likely suffer from malnutrition in their first five years of life, 26 will not be immunized against the basic childhood diseases, 19 will lack access to safe drinking water and 40 to adequate sanitation, and 17 will never go to school. (UNICEF) Also, I agree that lost opportunities in childhood cannot always be regained later; childhood is a one-off window of opportunity and development. (Research and Policy)
After reading this resource, my concepts on the part about informing effective policy to end childhood poverty, communicating research findings to policy makers, practitioners and advocates made me think of new ideas. If the system work together as a whole to promotes policies and programs, young children will have a better chance in perceiving their potential goals in life.
This information on this web helped me to understand how economist supports the early childhood field also. Professionals working to together implementing programs and policies to enhance the well-being of young children and their families are awesome. The Childhood Poverty Research and Policy Centre support the early childhood field in many ways;
· It examines economic and social factors at different levels - international, national and local.
· Updates effective policy.
· Communicates research findings to policy makers, practitioners and advocates.
Other insights I noticed was “this website is intended to be a resource for policy makers, practitioners and activists concerned about childhood poverty. It contains policy briefings, research reports, photos, case studies and links on a wide range of issues related to childhood poverty”

Hello,
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I have not heard of this policy along with the different countries that it represents. The information is considered very informative and can allow a way for legislation and policy makers to enfornce this and advocate the subject matter. I also agree that there are tons of children malnuturished along with sky high "poverty rates" that are steady increasing, however if we advocate more research and engugage listners and new advocates then the amount of mutual support can be reached.
Great Post!
