Children's Well-being in Developing Countries: A Conceptual and Methodological Review
What's the Use of 'Well-Being' in Contexts of Child Poverty? Approaches to Research, Monitoring and Children's Participation

Competing research paradigms engage with the concept and its measurement, while applications of well-being in policy are equally contested.

Psychosocial Impacts of Child Work: A Framework for Research, Monitoring and Intervention
Recent initiatives to combat worst forms of child labour have made progress in identifying hazards to children's physical health and well-being. Less attention has been given to psychosocial impacts of work. The paper outlines conceptual frameworks for assessing the multiple ways that work can impact (both positively and negatively) on children's well-being; and for identifying psychosocial indicators of impact. The paper draws attention to ways …

Combatting Child Labour: Listen to What the Children Say
This article summarizes some features of the Radda Barnen (Swedish Save the Children) study `Children's Perspectives on their Working Lives'. The case is made for working children's participation in the process of combatting child labour. Their participation will help ensure that interventions designed to eliminate exploitative and hazardous child labour are context appropriate, locally sustainable and child centred. This study is a contribution …
