Demographic Situation of Today’s Childhood and Adolescence. A World View
Abstract
This work collects demographic data and indicators on children and adolescents from the main statistics produced by international organizations. There is a double objective. On the one hand, make a worldwide portrait of the current situation of childhood and adolescence, highlighting those aspects that (from a demographic perspective), require special attention because they form social processes that affect their mode and quality of life. And on the other, to show researchers from other disciplinary fields that demographic data and indicators serve to contextualize some of these processes, but also, to identify and analyze them, providing useful knowledge for interdisciplinary collaborations. Many times, these collaborations are necessary for the elaboration of effective action proposals.
