Children's spaces are widening culturally and socially. Socially,
children s spaces are more often multilocal. Culturally, they are
enlarged through mobility in the globalized and virtual spaces in
the media-saturated world. Children's times are also less confined
by strict borderlines. The more flexible and individualized use of
time in the world of work impacts on children's lives in families,
day care, and school. The chapters of this volume each present
particular temporal and spatial aspects of social change in
childhood. The book is directed toward considering the impact of
such change on children's welfare. As former boundaries between
generations begin to blur and neo-liberal forces enter all realms
of people's lives, it can no longer be taken for granted as it was
in former periods of modernity that continued efforts to realize
the childhood project will automatically guarantee the "best
interest of the child." With respect to children's welfare in time
and space, Flexible Childhood? discusses tensions between demands
from the market economy, dynamics of rationalization and
technology, and visions of a "good" childhood. Together with the
above companion volume Childhood, Generational Order and the
Welfare State, also by the University Press of Southern Denmark
this book is the final result of COST Action A19, Children's
Welfare, which has been supported by the European COST Framework.
