Уязвимое детство в контексте детского благополучия

Abstract

<p style="text-align: justify;">This study aims to clarify the concept of “vulnerable childhood” within the context of child well-being. In modern society, children are exposed to various risks that can negatively impact their physical, emotional, and social development. The article explores diverse aspects of children’s vulnerability, such as socio-economic inequalities, violations of children’s rights, adverse family conditions, and the impact of traumatic events. The authors employ an interdisciplinary approach that encompasses the analysis of sociological, psychological, economic, and legal aspects. The article provides an overview of existing research that emphasizes the importance of understanding the factors contributing towards children’s vulnerability, as well as the consequences it may have on their future well-being. Focusing on governmental and other programs aimed at enhancing child well-being, the authors offer recommendations to ensure the protection of vulnerable children. These include the implementation of inclusive educational programs, strengthening the family social support system, refining legislation concerning children’s rights, and creating effective mechanisms for responding to crisis situations. The article offers an analysis of the influence of the concept of a “vulnerable childhood” on children’s well-being, and presents specific steps for ensuring the protection and support of children at risk.</p>
