The impact of policies on child well-being in Europe<\/strong><\/h3>\n

8 April 2014, 10:00 am -12:00 pm, Antwerp<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Abstract:<\/strong><\/p>\n

For obvious reasons, the well-being of children should be high on the agenda of civil society, researchers and<\/em> policy makers. This was recognised by the European Commission, when she published the Recommendation “Investing in children: breaking the cycle of disadvantage<\/a>” in February 2013. In this Recommendation, the Commission clearly reserves an important role for policy makers to improve the well-being of children in Europe. Within this context, in this seminar, we discuss some recent evidence and work in progress on the relation between a range of social policies and child well-being in Europe. We pay particular attention to the importance of social spending, employment, child benefits and the organisation of effective childcare services for improving the well-being of children. We scrutinise existing policies in order to identify good practices and potential pitfalls. At the same time, we reflect on more ambitious proposals for improving child well-being in Europe, such as an EU-wide child basic income.<\/p>\n
