The Politics and Societies of Child and Youth Wellbeing: Is the Young Generation Lagging Behind?

In: Statsvetenskaplig tidskrift, Band 113, Heft 1, S. 125-130

Abstract

The aim of this project is to explore patterns and find explanations to cross-country and within country variations in child and youth wellbeing, with special focus to the social and subjective aspects of wellbeing. The project as a whole consists of three separate studies: First, a comparative study across OECD-countries aimed at explaining cross country variation in child and youth wellbeing. Second, a comparative study on Denmark and Sweden will be conducted in order to shed light on the different mappings of wellbeing in these two fairly similar welfare states. Third, a comparative study between Swedish municipalities will shed light on the dynamics of child and youth wellbeing within one policy entity. Adapted from the source document.
