Child Poverty in Wales, Volume 2: Speaking Truth to Power (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781837724208)

The second volume of analysis on Welsh child poverty that offers potential future solutions.

This book explores child poverty in Wales, specifically in a local school community that identified its causes and effects. It examines the challenges that child poverty poses for future generations, as well as a series of local solutions that personify Wales's social democratic social imaginary. These responses all significantly contrast those of conservative UK Westminster governments' policies espousing neoliberal logic for a global economy. These policy agendas are invariably policy failures that play out for children and young people in their lived experiences of poverty and inequalities and that find expression in social emergencies and humanitarian disasters, as documented in this volume.
