Now in its fourth edition, this classic assessment of the state of child well being in the United Kingdom brings this vital and highly topical issue up to date. Drawing on surveys and robust empirical analysis across the United Kingdom, and including intra-UK and international comparisons, this edition reviews the latest evidence, examining the impact of the economic crisis and austerity measures since 2008 on children’s lives. Edited by a highly regarded expert in the field, the fourth edition follows the same structure as previous installments, with each chapter covering a different domain of child well being, from health to housing and education, making this an excellent source book for researchers, policy makers, practitioners, and students alike.

"With chapters written by exceptional authors, rich data, intra and inter national comparison and above all the leadership of Prof Bradshaw this is a most valuable publication for anyone who cares about children, wants to know more about their life and to promote their well-being." Asher Ben-Arieh, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel In the absence of an official `State of the Nation report on child well-being in the UK, this volume like its predecessors is the place to go. Offering rigorous and dispassionate analysis of the evidence, it makes sense of where we are and points to what needs to be done. Nick Axford, Head of What Works, Dartington Social Research Unit This wide-ranging, information-dense, analytic yet accessible text will appeal to a multi-disciplinary audience. Students, researchers, policymakers and on-the-ground practitioners will find this a relevant, up-to-date and comprehensive resource This book makes a significant contribution to helping to promote a realistic, research-informed understanding of childrens wellbeing.
