Poverty in the Transition: Social Expenditures and the Working-Age Poor [antikvár]

UNICEF INNOCENTI RESEARCH CENTRE The UNICEF Innocenti Research Centre in Florence, Italy, was established in 1988 to strengthen the research capability of the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and to support its advocacy for children worldwide. The Centre (formally known as the Intemational Child Development Centre) helps to identify and research current and future areas of UNICEF's work. Its prime objectives are to improve intemational understanding of issues relating to children's rights and to help facilitate the full implementation of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child in both industrialized and developing countries. The Centre's publications are contributions to a global debate on child rights issues and include a wide range of opinions. For that reason, the Centre may produce publications that do not necessarily reflect UNICEF policies or approaches on some topics. The views expressed are those of the authors and are published by the Centre in order to stimulate further dialogue on child rights. The Centre collaborates with its host institution in Florence, the Istituto degli Innocenti, in selected areas of work. Core funding for the Centre is provided by the Govemment of Italy, while financial support for specific projects is also provided by other governments, international institutions and private sources, including UNICEF National Committees. The opinions expressed in this paper are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the policies or views of UNICEF and the World Bank.
