This article focuses on both economic and social rights ( esr ) and child poverty. In doing so, it identifies and considers key developments and gaps in child rights scholarship ( crs ) in these areas. The authors’ treatment of these issues together is logical (albeit certainly not inevitable) given the strong connection between  esr  and poverty. Both are areas which have been under-explored in  crs :  esr  have been historically under-theorised and marginalised in child rights research, whereas child poverty is an area that has received extensive academic attention but only a limited amount of this has been from a child rights perspective.  The article begins by outlining the state of the existing theoretical child rights literature on  esr , before going on to consider the growing body of  crs  focused on specific  esr -thematic areas. The authors make clear the historic dominance of law in terms of child  esr  scholarship while flagging the increasing  esr -focused/framed work emerging from other disciplines, arguing that this is evidence of an ever-wider and more multidisciplinary engagement with  esr . Moving on to the topic of child poverty, the authors note that, with some notable exceptions, there has been a failure on the part of child rights scholars to engage with child poverty, a fact that is at least partially attributable to disciplinary disconnects: while  crs  (and  esr  scholarship in particular) has come to be dominated by lawyers to a large degree, much academic work on child poverty originates in economics, development studies and social policy. There is, however, some recognition by child poverty scholars (and more so by practitioners) that child poverty is a “child rights” issue, albeit that there is an ongoing failure on the part of child poverty scholarship to really come to terms with the complexities of child rights in terms of the implications of such for the definition and measurement of child poverty. The authors conclude by flagging future avenues for academic engagements with child  esr  and child poverty, considering both the ways in which existing scholarship may be enriched as well as the potential dangers that new directions may pose in terms of child  esr  specifically.
