Description xiv, 66 pages ; 30 cm Series Policy research paper, 1441-7532 ; no. 20 Policy research paper (Australia. Department of Family and Community Services) ; no. 20 Summary This report focuses on the "economic" concept of poverty. In Australia, different data sources have led to quite different estimates of poverty. The authors examine the proximate causes of child poverty and canvass a range of policy strategies to address this. It is argued that Australia's relatively high rate of child poverty can be seen as stemming from high levels of single parenthood and joblessness, together with medium levels of wage inequality and social expenditure Analysis Children Poverty OECD countries Statistics Australia overseas comparisons Electronic resource Notes "FaCS 1099.0303"--Back cover Bibliography Includes bibliographic references (pages 57-62) Notes Also available as an electronic version via the Internet: http://facs.gov.au/internet/facsinternet.nsf/research/prps-prps_20.htm Commonwealth of Australia 2003 Policy research paper (Australia.
