Despite unprecedented economic prosperity, there are growing concerns about the increasingly poor health outcomes for today's children and youth in both developed and developing countries. This special issue invites high quality papers addressing the social inequalities connected with child health/well-being, and the social, political, and cultural factors which shape (or determine) child health/well-being. Papers may be quantitative or qualitative, theoretical or empirical. We particularly appeal for papers exploring the connection between proximal factors and structural or macro-level forces which produce social disparities in child and youth outcomes; and papers examining the impact (or likely impact) of current interventions/policies/programs on child health outcomes or inequalities.
