description |
This report is the second stage
of a research project which explores the views and experiences
of poverty amongst those living within low income households
with at least one child under the age of 18. This report and
the literature review which preceded it (McKendrick et al. 2003)
inform the efforts of the Scottish Executive in working toward
the development of effective policy to prevent and eliminate
child poverty within a generation. The explicit evaluations
by those living in low income family households of government
policies and practices also yield policy-relevant insights.
Similarly, life experiences and outlook serve as a barometer
of the extent to which policies are changing the lives of the
least affluent in Scotland. |
