This book combines detailed historical investigation with original empirical analysis and an understanding of the most recent developments in child poverty research, in order to help us understand why child poverty has come to be seen as such a pressing problem today, the particular form that problem has taken, and how the state has responded. Child Poverty in Historical Perspective draws on approaches from social history, economic history, social policy, the sociology of childhood and contemporary empirical poverty research.
