Abstract

The objective of this chapter is to show that the Capability Approach can serve as an appropriate conceptual framework and a normative tool to analyse children’s well-being and other relevant children’s issues. To meet this objective, the second section reviews the literature on children and the Capability Approach with a special focus on empirical analyses. The third section concentrates on the capability framework and on how “new” concepts need to be introduced within it to improve the analysis of children’s issues. The fourth section reinforces our observations by recalling some of our main initial empirical findings and the conclusions reiterate some of the core results.
