A forum for the presentation of research and policy initiatives in the areas of education, health, public policy, and the socioeconomic causes and effects of poverty, the Journal of Children & Poverty seeks to promote intellectual debate and new ideas that will impact policy and practice in the field of child and family welfare. The Journal of Children & Poverty invites critical analyses to further the understanding of global issues affecting the quality of life for children and families.

The Journal of Children & Poverty is a publication of the Taylor & Francis Group and the Institute for Children and Poverty. It targets a cross-disciplinary audience that includes policy makers, academics, service providers, advocates, educators, philanthropists, and community leaders.

Recent issues of JCP have included articles that probe an array of topics: child care for low-income families in rural areas of the United States; models of education for at-risk youth; the socioeconomic causes of child labor in urban Nigeria; and the effectiveness of government services supporting children's pathways towards resilience and greater social inclusion in the UK.
