This work reviews the progress of children’s rights 25 years
since the adoption of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
It studies the progress of that human rights instrument as part of
an ongoing process. It examines how recent past, present and future
generations will benefit or suffer as part of the process in which
outcomes cannot be predicted. It does not project into the future.
Its emphasis is on a review of the period after 1989 and it
comments on what has happened and offering guidance on how
children's rights might progress. The book presents a realistic but
not always critical review of two and a half decades of intensive
activity in the field of children’s rights worldwide. It includes
both failures and examples of good practice and positive
experiences. It offers a review of progress and lack of progress in
child rights and welfare in the twelve countries used as case
studies in its predecessor, The Next Generation. Finally, the
volume considers the impact of current geopolitical and economic
realities on children’s rights in the early years of the
twenty-first century. The book is a tribute to Judith Ennew and
pays homage to all of the people who have contributed so much to
children’s rights over the years and wishes to encourage others
to take up the cause.

Working to be Someone presents an overview of worldwide research on
working children that considers children's own views of employment
in favour of adult-constructed arguments about child work. This
book brings together contributions by internationally renowned
researchers who are committed to a 'subject-orientated' approach as
well as views and observations of activists from organizations that
either work with child labour or support working children's
movements. Chapters examine the traditionally widespread care and
domestic work carried out by children, discuss localized
explorations of working children - for example in Morocco, India
and Europe - as well as consider work as a means for children to
contribute economically to the family. Contributors also discuss
children's movements and organizations in Africa, Asia and South
America that claim work as a necessity for survival as well as a
key to children's own agency and citizenship. This book is a key
text for both academics and social work practitioners that
encourages re-evaluation of the notion of childhood and understands
the complex phenomenon of working children.
