Highlights
Empirical Analysis using Household and Micro-level Datasets
Formal empirical analysis of the social impact of crises, policy adjustments and other economic events is typically underpinned by an ex- post analysis using nationally representative household survey data.
Social Budget Tracking and Analysis
Social budget tracking and analysis tools monitor the extent of priority and protection given to public budget items and can influence government policies in favour of allocations to children and families.
A Child Rights Lens for Poverty and Social Impact Analyses (PSIAs)
Poverty and Social Impact Analyses, PSIAs, are aimed at facilitating an ex-ante understanding of the potential distributional impacts of a given policy reform. Child rights centered PSIAs, add a child focus to these impact assessments, as tools specifically designed to promote more child sensitive real-time policy making.
Integrating a Child Focus into Poverty and Social Impact Analysis (PSIA): A UNICEF - World Bank Guidance Note
UNICEF and the World Bank have jointly produced a Guidance Note on how to integrate a child focus into PSIAs. The publication describes how different policy reforms may affect children and their families, when a detailed child-focused assessment may be warranted, a variety of quantitative and qualitative assessment methods, mitigation strategies to protect children from the negative impacts of a given policy, and strategies to include children’s perspectives in the PSIA process, among others.
