What can you do to combat child poverty?
Manage episode 383975578 series 3358108
In this episode of the Transforming Society podcast, Jess Miles speaks with Olivier De Schutter, Hugh Frazer, Anne-Catherine Guio and Eric Marlier, authors of The Escape From Poverty, about child poverty and intergenerational poverty and things we can do as individuals to make change.
They talk about the evidence in the book, how poverty impacts developed and developing countries differently and programmes that are making a difference.
Despite the fact that tackling child poverty is good for everyone, as the book shows, it can hard to get people to believe that change is possible and not necessarily complicated. What can we do to get them on board?
