All children in Canada live with risk. They are susceptible to disease and injury, and as they grow and learn, they must face numerous challenges that threaten their mental and physical well-being. Most children experience times of vulnerability, and it becomes necessary to intervene on their behalf. For the first time in Canada, we are able to measure and analyse a wide range of children’s developmental outcomes and identify the main factors that contribute to childhood vulnerability.

5.0 out of 5 stars
A seminal, scholarly, and ground breaking research project,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Vulnerable Children (Paperback)
Capably edited by J. Douglas Willms (Director of the Canadian Research Institute for Social Policy), Vulnerable Children: Findings From Canada's National Longitudinal Survey Of Children And Youth is a compilation and comprehensive analysis of findings from a seminal, scholarly, and ground breaking research project. A variety of essays by a series of learned authors cogently address such topics as socioeconomic gradients for childhood vulnerability, the effect maternal depression has on childhood vulnerability, the roles of peer groups in pre-adolescent behavior, and much, much more. Packed with research findings, educational discourse, conclusions, recommendations, and warnings for the future, Vulnerable Children is highly recommended reading for governmental policy makers, teachers, social workers, counselors, and anyone else who regularly works with young people.
