It takes on a multidimensional view of child well-being and discusses certain indicators that include economic measures of poverty based on both incomes and expenditures. The chapter starts with discussion on the demographic significance of children in the Central Asian context, and also the recent macroeconomic changes in the region and the possible ways in which these changes may impact on the welfare of the children.
Keywords: economic changes, welfare of children, child well-being, economic measures, indicators, demographic significance, macroeconomic changes
