The results of a research collaboration entitled, “Children and Youth in Crisis”, between the Jacobs Foundation and the World Bank, was presented in Brussels at a public event on 4 February 2013. The research, which was carried out in response to the last global financial crisis by the World Bank in collaboration with the Jacobs Foundation, provides a synthesis of experience and evidence on the impact of crises on children and youth, leading directly to recommendations for policy change.
A major contribution of the present volume is that it takes an important step toward building a shared understanding of how crises influence individuals, families, and communities. It proposes a working model based on perspectives from economics and human development that provides a shared foundation for developing programs of research, application, and intervention designed to address the negative consequences of economic and other major crises around the world.
