The editors and contributors adopt the broader concept of ‘risk’ in addition to ‘vulnerability’. Not much work considers the connections between risks that children experience and their quality of life. In examining children’s quality of life, the chapters discuss various issues of risk and vulnerability that may affect their lives and also how the quality of childhood might be enhanced and maintained even in the face of these factors. The chapters discuss experiences of violence and abuse; access to basic services such as housing, health and education; and children’s vulnerability due to broader external factors such as war, conflict, and environmental events. The volume also includes the impacts of new technologies on children and the consequent risks and vulnerabilities they may face, alongside the benefits.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis important volume brings together a diverse range of perspectives from established experts and emerging scholars in these fields of work. It covers a wide range of geographical and cultural contexts, and includes theoretical, empirical, policy and practice-based contributions. This handbook is a natural first point of reference for academics and policy professionals interested in quality of life, well-being, and children's rights.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“The handbook on children’s risk, vulnerability, and quality of life presents a detailed empirical compilation from regions including South America, Asia, the Middle East, Africa, and Oceania, describing and analysing the perspectives that children hold of these concepts. … the need for state and regional policies that investigate, incorporate, and facilitate the participation of children in their communities to improve their quality of life is reiterated.” (Aquiles Pérez Delgado, Applied Research in Quality of Life, Vol. 18 (6), 2023)​\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduction.\u003cbr\u003eGwyther Rees, Denise Benatuil, Maggie Lau and Habib Tiliouine\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003ePart 1: Concepts of risk, vulnerability and quality of life.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e1.
