About this book
The future of our world over the next decade is being shaped by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that seek to uphold children's wellbeing and, by their call to leave no one behind and to reach the furthest behind first, shine a spotlight on the world's most vulnerable populations including children and adolescents living in poverty and exclusion. The transformative steps promised in the SDGs to 'shift the world onto a sustainable and resilient path' assumes greater significance in the post-COVID-19 world where structural exclusions are starkly exposed and deep societal inequalities thickly underlined. This volume seeks to address the main drivers of poverty, exclusion, urbanization, and violence against children and adolescents and investigates how knowledge, information, data collection, measurement, and monitoring can support strategies and innovations to effectively implement the SDGs by drawing on data and experience from several countries across the world including Bangladesh, Colombia, Cte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Ghana, Guatemala, India, Indonesia, Iraq, Kenya, Malawi, MENA countries, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Sierra Leone, Suriname, and Thailand. As a result, it contributes to revealing the politics of social inclusion, oi ering policy proposals towards overcoming inequality and exclusion among children and adolescents.
