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.

Georgia: UNICEF-University of York Welfare Monitoring Survey

In 2009, UNICEF Georgia in partnership with the Social Policy Research Unit of the University of York, United Kingdom, produced a report that examines the welfare of the population of Gerogia in the context of the global economic crisis. The report presents a comprehensive analysis of poverty and key welfare indicators using data from the first round of the 2009 Welfare Monitoring Survey. Well-being is examined on a range of dimensions including household consumption, material deprivation and subjective experience. The results help signal the deterioration in child and human welfare both as a result of the crisis and the consequent armed conflict and political turbulence in Georgia. The report identifies key challenges, which signal the urgency of specific policy responses.
