An interesting study has been completed at the University of Otago to observe the impacts of child poverty from a child's perspective.

The research team gave wearable cameras to 168 randomly selected Wellington kids between 11 and 13  to wear for four days, revealing what they see and do on a day-to-day basis.

To tell us about the findings we're joined by Professor Louise Signal from the university's Department of Public Health.
