Children live in poverty have short- and long-term consequences that would limit their life chances during their transition to adulthood. In terms of causes of children poverty, children themselves should not be blamed for their economic disadvantage, but was their parents’ material shortage predicting the condition. Due to fewer children in the future, we should invest in every child to become a productive member in our society. This study uses a secondary data set, a structured questionnaire, and focus groups as data collecting methods to explore the profile of children poverty in Taiwan, to extract the successful antipoverty programs from other countries, and to survey the experiences in service provision. This study intends to provide appropriate suggestions for the government to provide effective measures to alleviate children poverty.兒童貧窮兒童福利弱勢家庭children povertychild welfaredisadvantaged family
