Notes: "This book is the result of a fruitful and long-standing collaboration between The New School's Graduate Program in International Affairs (GPIA) and UNICEF.  The contents of this book present selected papers from the jointly organized international conference,"Social Protection Initiatives for Children, Women, and Families: An Analysis of Recent Experiences", held in New York in October 2006." -- P. 5.

"The conference papers advanced a discussion about policies, issues and trends related to social protection and/or assistance programs (providing cash or non-cash transfers) that impact the well-being of children, including the scope and contours of social protection for children....[T]he papers tackled issues related to poverty, demographic trends, social cohesion, and high risk situations. The types of social protection policies that might ensure care and protection for children during economic and political crises, emergencies and post emergencies were also discussed and assessed." -- Foreword.
