Iotti, Nathalie O. LU orcid and Jungert, Tomas LU (2020) p.71-90
Abstract

This chapter defines poverty, differentiates between absolute and relative poverty, and analyzes the criticisms of these concepts. Furthermore, the chapter analyzes the effects of poverty on child development according to developmental systems theory, listing direct, moderated, mediated, transactional, and community effects. Statistics on poverty for industrialized and developing countries are provided. Subsequently, the chapter discusses the experiences of children living in poverty worldwide and focuses on the associations between bullying and poverty in industrialized countries and their implications. Finally, policies and a set of broad principles are suggested to address poverty among children and youth.
