Child poverty and housing: (in)visible exclusion
Abstract
Housing is a key issue in contemporary segregation processes and must be placed at the centre when studying social exclusion. However, both in the academic and public policy spheres, there is a weakness in the study of residential exclusion with respect to one of the population groups that experience it in the most aggravated way: children. This article takes this situation as its starting point for a qualitative approach, establishing the main causes and consequences of child poverty in relation to housing. The results obtained show that children and adolescents living in residential poverty suffer effects that affect them at multiple levels of their lives in the present, leading to a deterioration of future opportunities that perpetuates inequality.
