Abstract:
The article aims at reviewing the literature on the impact of poverty on child development and discussing issues to be done in terms of policy targeted towards vulnerable children. As many of Romania’s children are fighting the soul destroying situation of poverty, it is extremely important for policy makers to clearly understand all consequences, both from the humane, individual perspective, considering the right of every person to fulfil and maximise its own potential and also from the economic perspective, focusing on future labour market performances and quality of Romania’s future workforce. Studies in behavioural economics, psychology and neurosciences offer informational inputs that might be useful in order to design the best policy approaches in terms of cost effectiveness.
