This book examines childhood in four Caribbean SIDS (Barbados,
Jamaica, Haiti and St. Lucia). Through the analysis of primary and
secondary data, the author reveals that children in Caribbean SIDS
experience an endangered childhood. The intrinsic characteristics
of SIDs, including susceptibility to climate change, and high
levels of poverty, indebtedness and inequality, Henry-Lee argues,
increase the vulnerability of children. Furthermore, duty bearers
are not adequately investing in children, private and public spaces
are not child-friendly, and children's rights are violated daily.
Endangered and Transformative Childhood in Caribbean Small Island
Developing States shows that children are therefore at risk of
being left behind in the fulfilment of the UN2030 Agenda and that
the Convention of the Rights of the Child (1989) lacks enforceable
sanctions. Unless a radical transformation of childhood takes
place, the prosperity and viability of Caribbean SIDS will remain
elusive for generations to come. Students, scholars and
policy-makers with an interest in childhood studies, children's
rights, and social policy will find this book a valuable read.

Worldwide child and youth poverty and deprivation remain the
biggest barrier to achieving a better life in adulthood. Progress
in lifting children out of poverty in the last decades has been
slow and limited in the developing world, while the recent global
economic crisis has exacerbated child poverty, youth unemployment,
and social exclusion in many developed countries. By critically
unravelling the long-term consequences of growing up poor, the
close linkages between multiple deprivations and violation of human
rights in childhood and adolescence, and their effects on labour
market entry and future career in a number of developing and
developed countries, this book significantly enriches the existing
literature. Drawing on multiple disciplinary perspectives, it makes
a forceful case for the eradication of child poverty to take centre
stage in the Sustainable Development Goals.
