Social Inclusion and Exclusion Among Australia's Children: A Spatial Perspective

许多研究表明，儿童所经历的社会经济不利状况对他们的健康和福祉产生了重大的不利影响，这种影响将持续到他们的余生。该项目将通过提供数量证据和分析澳大利亚儿童中各种形式的不利处境和社会排斥的目前空间分布情况以及过去15年来这些空间格局的任何变化，为全国带来重大利益。这一增强的证据库将协助各级政府就基于需求的政府服务规划作出决定，并制定可能的对策。

Numerous studies have shown that socio-economic disadvantage experienced by children has major adverse effects on health and well-being that persist for the rest of their lives. This project will deliver major national benefits by providing quantitative evidence and analysis of the current spatial distribution of various forms of disadvantage and social exclusion among Australia's children and of any changes to these spatial patterns during the past 15 years. This enhanced evidence base will assist all levels of government in decisions about needs-based planning of government services and in the development of possible policy responses.
