Impacts of Economic Crises on Child Well‐Being

This theme issue addresses three research questions: i) how are the impacts of macro‐level crises transmitted to children's micro‐level experiences of poverty and well‐being? ii) in what ways can these impacts be mediated by the policy responses of international and national actors? and iii) what lessons can be derived from responses to past crises and to what extent is this learning being applied? This introductory article contextualises the current crisis in terms of short‐term global economic shocks and longer‐term economic malaise, outlines the key arguments of the six empirical articles in the issue and discusses policy responses to tackle threats in crisis contexts.
