Children, Poverty and the Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract: The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) came into force in January 2016, taking over from the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Significant human development progress has occurred in recent decades. Nevertheless, the MDGs have been criticised not least for failing to prioritise inequality and gains for the poorest people. The SDGs create a much more comprehensive agenda and support many key child rights concerns. While SDGs reflect an important global consensus, their delivery depends upon national action.

“…Recent years have, however, seen increasing attention in developing guidelines on how local strengths can be integrated with therapeutic and service models (Calam, 2017;UN, 2014). These are often framed in the context of related sustainable development goals (Dornan, 2017). This study was positioned within such a policy, service and research gap.…”

“…ECD, especially though care and education, has become a greater international priority over the last few decades (Black et al, 2017). This has been observed through the level of effort that the Millenium Development Goals, the predecessor of the SDGs, put toward improving the availability of education and enrolment rates in the Global South between 2000 and 2015 (Dornan, 2017). Although enrolment rates have notably improved internationally, children's educational attainment is still incredibly low.…”

“…This has led many to conclude that enrolment does not equate to attendance or quality of learning and has initiated a new round of inquiry, particularly by the UN. The World Bank's 2018 World Development Report focuses on this issue, in which UNESCO has coined the global learning crisis (Dornan, 2017;The World Bank, 2018).
