Drawing on the multinational qualitative study ‘Children’s Understandings of Well-being’ (CUWB), this unique edited collection offers practical insights into conducting fieldwork across diverse geographical, social and cultural contexts, using the same basic protocol.The book explores the practical, ethical and philosophical challenges the researchers faced, and the ways in which these issues were dealt with by the different research teams. Contributors provide rare insights into the diverse institutional requirements and professional practices highlighting the way research methods are embedded in contexts that are at one and the same time both local and global. With contributions from experts in child well-being research from Argentina, Australia, Canada, Chile, Germany, Romania, South Africa, Switzerland, Turkey, the UK and the US, the book provides valuable perspectives for researchers across a wide range of settings.

This book presents a range of innovative analytical frameworks that can be used to approach the complexities of children’s understandings and experiences of well-being in a locally oriented, context-sensitive and multi-nationally comparative way.

The book presented here describes an outstanding attempt, not only to include children’s views but to partner with children to develop the concept of well-being and to study the phenomenon as the children understand it.
