Families, children and youth in global contexts

Abstract

Perspectives on Families, Children and Youth in Global Contexts brings together the main results of the research projects developed for their dissertations by the first graduate students of the Erasmus Mundus MFamily master's programme. Coming from a significant variety of countries mostly out of Europe, these students addressed, under different perspectives, the study of families, immigration and gender issues, children and young people in school and care settings, as well as welfare policies. As a whole the analyzes carried out by the authors of this book represent important contributions for understanding the current daily lives of families, children and youth at a global level.
