We have measured child poverty, now what? Using panel data to explore transitions to adulthood

Abstract: In this chapter, four innovations are highlighted related to the opportunities and potential of using panel data for the analysis of child poverty and inequalities/inequities. First, we describe stylised patterns of child poverty evolution. Second, we explore three different ways of thinking about and analysing disparities. Third, based on the opportunities provided by panel data, the coevolution of subjective well-being with child poverty is explored. Fourth, given the presence in the data of individuals who were children when the panel was initiated but are no longer children in the most recent waves, it is possible to ascertain their status as young adults (and disparities among them). Their status is considered given their unfolding life-course trajectory.
