    What now for children? The potential impact of a double-dip recession on child development and well-being

    Event - Public event - 7 December 2011 13:00 - 14:30 (GMT+00)

    With the prospect of a double-dip recession hot on the heels of the 2008/9 financial crisis, this public meeting draws on a recent theme issue of Development Policy Review to consider the implications of economic shocks on child well-being.  The event will explore how children fare in times of economic crisis, how policy can mediate such shocks, and what lessons can be learnt from the past to enable both resilience and preparedness for future economic crises.

    Free copies of the DPR theme issue ‘Impacts of economic crises on child well-being’ will be available at the event.
