This handbook makes a major contribution to the growing
international research and policy interest in children’s
experienced well-being or quality of life in childhood, linking it
to ongoing research on children’s risk and vulnerability. The
editors and contributors adopt the broader concept of ‘risk’ in
addition to ‘vulnerability’. Not much work considers the
connections between risks that children experience and their
quality of life. In examining children’s quality of life, the
chapters discuss various issues of risk and vulnerability that may
affect their lives and also how the quality of childhood might be
enhanced and maintained even in the face of these factors. The
chapters discuss experiences of violence and abuse; access to basic
services such as housing, health and education; and children’s
vulnerability due to broader external factors such as war,
conflict, and environmental events. The volume also includes the
impacts of new technologies on children and the consequent risks
and vulnerabilities they may face, alongside the benefits. This
important volume brings together a diverse range of perspectives
from established experts and emerging scholars in these fields of
work. It covers a wide range of geographical and cultural contexts,
and includes theoretical, empirical, policy and practice-based
contributions. This handbook is a natural first point of reference
for academics and policy professionals interested in quality of
life, well-being, and children's rights.
