This book presents a range of innovative analytical frameworks that
can be used to approach the complexities of children's
understandings and experiences of well-being in a locally oriented,
context-sensitive and multi-nationally comparative way. It
addresses the challenges of undertaking research on children's
understandings of well-being from a multi-national qualitative
perspective. Chapters in the book present results that show how
children from various places all over the world conceptualize and
experience well-being as well as how this is linked local, regional
and national social, political and cultural contexts.
The book presented here describes an outstanding attempt, not only
to include children's views but to partner with children to develop
the concept of well-being and to study the phenomenon as the
children understand it. The authors do this by placing the concept
of children's well-being within the existing discourses on the
topic and by developing their unique theoretical approach to the
concept. Then, and based on what children told them, the authors
identify different domains and dimensions of children's well-being
and touch upon its multifaceted nature. The book concludes with
drawing research and policy implications from an integrated summary
of the study's findings and lists indicator concepts that present
an alternative framework and conceptualisation of well-being from a
child standpoint.
