Innovative methods for assessing poverty are ever-increasing. While quantitative methods like household survey analyses provide crucial information on poverty and are the most common tool to measure poverty, qualitative methods like life history interviews and others can help build and share an understanding of the daily lives of children living in poverty, which numbers alone can fail to do.

This webinar was hosted by the Global Coalition to End Child Poverty and showcased various qualitative methods to measure child poverty and explore how they can complement quantitative measures for impactful policy advocacy.
