TY - RPRT U1 - Arbeitspapier A1 - Gassmann, Franziska A1 - Timar, Eszter T1 - The Importance of Social Protection for Children in the Balkans T2 - UNU Policy Brief N2 - This policy brief investigates the costs of child poverty in the Balkans, including deprivation in terms of education, health, and social mobility. It then lays out the potential of social protection, most notably in terms of building resilence and fostering development. Set against recent case studies from around the world, including Cambodia and Uganda, the brief gives policy recommendations on various critical issues including transfer schemes, transformative measures, and (alternative) care for children with disabilities.
