Παιδική Φτώχεια και Κοινωνικός Αποκλεισμός στην Ελλάδα μέσα από την εμπειρία των παιδιών
Abstract
The subject of the article is the in-depth investigation of the child poverty and social exclusion in Greece from the children’s perspective. It presents data from an empirical child-centered research that took place in schools of poor neighborhoods of Athens, in which 432 students, aged 10-15 participated and the main research method was focus groups with triangulation via individual interviews, localized quantitative data and field observation. The research hopes to introduce the voice and perspective of children in the scientific discussion and policies for child poverty in Greece, which is dominated by adult views and statistics, leaving the real living conditions of poor children obscured. Children in the research focus on power inequality with adults as the main cause of their multiple exclusions experienced in poverty and highlight the issues of housing and spatial inequalities, abruption with childhood when forced to work in adult terms, of stigmatization and internalization of social exclusion that characterizes their social relationships.
