CEPAL UNICEF NIÑOS ADOLESCENTES ZONAS URBANAS CONDICIONES DE VIDA DERECHOS ECONOMICOS, SOCIALES Y CULTURALES CHILDREN ADOLESCENTS URBAN AREAS LIVING CONDITIONS ECONOMIC, SOCIAL AND CULTURAL RIGHTS Urban children in Latin AmericaThis issue of Challenges addresses a topic deserving of special attention: the high proportion of children and adolescents in the region's urban areas who live in precarious conditions. Their disparate living conditions are examined with a look at the moderate deprivation (housing deficiencies, monetary poverty or low level of education) and severe deprivation (a combination of two or more of the aforementioned deficits) affecting urban dwellers. It is estimated that about 29.0% of children and adolescents in these areas live in conditions of severe deprivation and 27.6% experience moderate deprivation for an average of eight countries.In severely deprived rural and urban areas a higher proportion of children are not immunized against measles, and a greater percentage of adolescents are neither studying nor economically active, and are already parents.These disparities call for differentiated policies with a strong local focus and the potential to improve living conditions, lower the risk of infant morbidity and mortality, and reduce rates of adolescent pregnancy and school dropout. Significant initiatives and policies designed to produce healthy and inclusive environments have already been put in place in some of the most vulnerable areaswith a view to improving the quality of life among these groups.In addition to the featured article, the issue includes information on relevant meetings and conferences held in the region over the year, children's and adolescents' testimonies, and expert opinion. 2014-03-20T01:29:04Z 2014-03-20T01:29:04Z 2013-09 Texto Documento Completo http://hdl.handle.net/11362/36000 en Challenges: Newsletter on progress towards the Millenium Development Goals from a child rights perspective 16 .pdf application/pdf AMERICA LATINA Y EL CARIBE LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN ECLAC UNICEF
