In Skivenes, M. (2014). Child welfare systems and migrant children: A cross country study of policies and practice. Oxford: Oxford University Press.

This evaluation is arrived at through comparing both practices, rules, laws, and policies in the states’ child welfare systems. This comparison also includes welfare states. Comparison cuts across how those high-income countries conceptualize in dealing with immigrant children together with their families. The book digs deep in scrutinizing and analyzing imperative issues in the contemporary livelihoods of people.

The entire book presents the past and current development in terms of policies, practices, and problems in the child welfare sector of the featured countries.

The development of policies, programs, and practices that gave birth to these rights grew differently in different backgrounds and social classes of people all over the world.
