The child labour debate, the Child Rights Convention and the target
of universal primary education in the Millennium Development Goals
have drawn increasing attention to children in developing
countries. Alongside, a debate has waged on the need for child
participation and the appropriateness of spreading allegedly
western norms of childhood. This book aims to uncover the daily
life of children in selected areas in Vietnam, India, Burkina Faso,
Tanzania, Nicaragua and Bolivia against the background of those
debates. Children, Structure and Agency takes a close look at the
activities, the aspirations and the deliberations of hundreds of
poor children in the age category from 9 to 14, on the basis of a
dawn-to-sunset observation over a couple of days. By empowering
children to make people listen to them, children can play a more an
active role in their community. The book addresses the issue of
such child agency and the structural constraints to that agency.
This text would be of interest to child-centred development aid
organisations and scholars dealing with issues of child
participation, child rights, child labour and education.
