Barbara Juen Book order

Focusing on child well-being, the book examines the origins of the social indicator movement and the literature surrounding quality of life, subjective well-being, and resilience. It highlights the influence of culture on child development, contrasting environments that promote independent versus interdependent self-models. Through research on Tsunami-affected children, it captures their perspectives on well-being, leading to the development of specific indicators. The study culminates in a proposed child well-being index and a theoretical model that contextualizes these indicators.
