Description du projet
Combler les disparités en matière de santé pour les enfants les plus vulnérables
Dans un monde qui aspire à un développement durable, le bien-être des nouveau-nés et des enfants reste une préoccupation majeure. L’UE s’est depuis longtemps faite la championne des sociétés protégeant les enfants, mais les disparités en matière d’accès aux soins de santé essentiels persistent, en particulier parmi les groupes vulnérables tels que les migrants sans papiers et les enfants issus des populations les plus pauvres. Avec le soutien du programme Actions Marie Skłodowska-Curie, le projet YouCDF mettra en lumière l’absence de couverture sanitaire universelle pour les migrants en situation irrégulière et explorera les défis socio-économiques auxquels sont confrontés les parents. Il analysera l’impact profond de l’investissement parental dans la santé des enfants à travers le prisme de l’économie de la santé. Le projet comprendra des tests empiriques et des réflexions politiques. En abordant la question urgente du sous-investissement dans la santé des enfants, il proposera des stratégies visant à renforcer les capacités des personnes vulnérables et à combler les disparités.
Objectif
Promoting new-born and children’s health is a policy priority for sustainable development and the EU takes action to “promote inclusive and child-friendly societies, health and education systems” (Thematic area 2 of the EU Strategy on the Rights of the Child). Nevertheless, within country differences exist in children’s access to essential health care especially among the vulnerable groups of undocumented migrants and children living in poverty. An obvious obstacle for access to health care for the irregular migrants is lack of universal health coverage. Another significant determinant of restricted health care utilization of these vulnerable children is the challenges associated to the socioeconomic status of the parents. There is little research to show methods to eliminate the health risks associated to displaced children and children living in poverty and to integrate them into the European health system. The overall goal of YouCDF is to provide a systematic and comprehensive analysis of the amount, types and short- and long-term consequences of parental investment to children from the perspective of health economics. YouCDF will:
-investigate the extent to which the limitations in the household level (restricted financial resources available to the main caregivers) could be compensated by a universal health care system,
-test the empirical implications of the model,
- inform policy makers about the potential risks to the public health system caused by underinvestment to children, and related inequalities.
YouCDF addresses one of the potential public health challenges for Turkey and the EU: The number of children who have limited access to nutritious food increases as a result of hosting refugee children from Syria and facing increased food prices due to the war in Ukraine.
