03.12.09 Peer Review in Paris: Measuring and monitoring - a child-rights perspective

Eurochild’s contributes to Peer review and welcomes France for setting quantified targets

The Peer Review meeting "Measuring the impact of active inclusion and other
policies to combat poverty and social exclusion" took place on 3 and 4 December 2009 in Paris.

Eurochild welcomes France for setting quantified targets to reduce general poverty and introducing a scoreboard of poverty indicators that record trends, monitor progress and stimulate partnerships between levels of governance but believes that the focus is very much on income poverty and material deprivation. The indicators used by France in relation to children and young people are inadequate to reflect child well-being as we understand it.

Policy Officer Agata D’Addato presented Eurochild’s contribution: "Measuring and monitoring: a child-rights perspective"
