Poverty
No matter where they are, children who grow up impoverished suffer from poor living standards, develop fewer skills for the workforce, and earn lower wages as adults. Only a limited number of Governments have set the elimination of child poverty as a national priority.
Mapping gender related barriers for immunisation using Geographic Information Systems (GIS)
Immunisation is widely perceived as gender-neutral, yet in many countries, there are distinct gender barriers at both household and community levels. This project aims to strengthen the availability of timely and granular data to identify gender-related barriers to immunisation better and inform targeted pro-equity strategies.
What data does Scotland collect and analyse that directly and indirectly impacts the lives of children and their families, and how can we best map it?
Scotland must #KeepThePromise it made to children and families - a cohesive picture of all the data on processes and systems that directly and indirectly impact children and families will help Scotland understand how to do that.
