Editorial: Supporting Children and Young People in a Changing World
Abstract
The editorial describes how the papers in the special issue on 'Children and young people in a changing world' engage with the views and experiences of children, as well as adults, to analyse the impact of social protection and social mobility through education and employment on their well-being. It takes a slightly critical approach to concepts such as well-being and agency鈥攁cknowledging that these frequently embrace their opposites鈥攁nd highlights the value of mixed methods in exploring themes such as 鈥榲oice and visibility鈥�, schooling and work, and child poverty and outcomes. Finally, it draws out common conclusions and discusses their implications for policy and programme design.
