It provides a unique comparative insight into the similarities and differences in children´s lives and well-being around the world, including findings that challenge prevailing assumptions of where, and in what contexts, children might experience a good childhood´.
The book draws out the key messages and implications from the study and identifies directions for future work on child well-being. It will be of interest to researchers and students in the field of childhood studies, as well as a wide range of professionals and organisations concerned with improving children´s quality of life.
