Why is the issue of children in poverty important?

Over 730,000 children in Australia are living in poverty, with children in single parent families three times more likely to be at risk compared to children in couple families. Children growing up in poverty can experience developmental delays that affect their future academic success and life chances as an adult.

What can be researched?

At least 10 articles between 2016-2022 that would showcase what has been done on the policy topic so far in Australia. Use key words such as Child Protection policy in Australia and Children, Domestic violence and Housing policies in Australia.

Whichever topic you use, you can draw on two competing concepts and include the term policy in your conceptual review of the social problem.

For example, I am interested in multicultural communities and ageing policy, I would start by searching these two terms simultaneously in the search engine to maximise my search opportunities.
