Demographic and societal changes are strongly affecting the
contexts of childhood and the experience of being children. At the
same time, across social groups and across societies, diversities
and inequalities in childhood are taking new forms. In the
developed world, in particular, children their number, their
welfare, their education, the division of power and
responsibilities over them among the different social actors have
entered the public agenda, at the national and supranational level.
Public concern over issues such as fertility rates, mothers
working, early childhood education and care as well as solemn
international declarations of children's rights are examples of the
ongoing politicization of childhood. Drawing both on micro and
macro, national and comparative studies, this volume of
"Comparative Social Research" traces some of the trends and
analyzes in comparative perspective how they affect images and
practices of childhood and transforms responsibilities for
children. The volume's focus is mainly on children in the developed
countries, but attention is also paid to transnational diversities
and to the impact of globalisation through the experiences of
migrant children and of children living through the processes of
modernization in the developing world.
