 Being poor from children's point of view. The potential of childhood theory and qualitative methods for child poverty research: Findings from two qualitative studies of poverty in GermanySabine Andresen and Stephanie Meiland Children and Youth Services Review, 2019, vol. 97, issue C, 94-99 Abstract: This paper reports findings from qualitative poverty research with children in Germany. The research has an explorative aim and the focus is on children's experiences in everyday life. It shows the findings about material domains like clothing, food, and accommodation along with important social domains such as friendships and relationships in the family. The article argues that analyses of the phenomenon of child poverty should be sensible when treating children's everyday lives equal to those of their adult relatives. Drawing on empirical findings from qualitative research, it confirms the particular relevance of analyzing the perspectives of children themselves. We thus suggest that child poverty always has to be viewed in relation to socio-spatial and infrastructural conditions.
