Jonathan Bradshaw CBE, FBA is Emeritus Professor of Social Policy at the University of York. In addition to research into family policy, in recent years his research has focused on international comparisons of child poverty, child benefit packages and child well-being. He is a Fellow of the British Academy and a board member of the Child Poverty Action Group.

"A significant contribution to improving our understanding of children's well-being in contemporary Britain. Indeed, the text successfully brings together a vast amount of information in one accessible and compelling volume...Its relevance is wide-ranging and students, lecturers, researchers and policy-makers will all find it a useful resource." Children & Society; "In the absence of an official 'State of the Nation' report on child well-being in the UK, this volume - like its predecessors - is the place to go. Offering rigorous and dispassionate analysis of the evidence, it makes sense of where we are and points to what needs to be done." Nick Axford, Head of What Works, Dartington Social Research Unit; "With chapters written by exceptional authors, rich data, intra and inter national comparison and above all the leadership of Prof Bradshaw this is a most valuable publication for anyone who cares about children, wants to know more about their life and to promote their well-being." Asher Ben-Arieh, Jerusalem, Israel
