Children's Services in the Developing World cover

Children’s services in The Developing World brings together evidence relating to the health and development of children in the global South. It is essential reading for students, scientists, policy makers and practitioners in economically developing countries. The book deals with the effects of catastrophe, disease, war and poverty on children's development. There is strong coverage of the ways in which children cope with even the most inauspicious of circumstances. Evidence is provided on the incidence of impairment to health and development. As well as establishing the risks to child well-being in the economic South, the book shows how to intervene to address those risks. Examples of good practice rigorously evaluated will be of interest to everyone seeking to improve the lives of children, whether that be in economically developed or developing nations.

'...This book will serve as a guide to many academicians and professionals in the field of child welfare and development.' International Journal of Social Welfare '...a useful book. The articles are well chosen and can be read as a whole to provide an insight into Children's services in the developing world or as a reference for specific topics.' International Journal of Health Planning and Management
