Abstract
The editorial describes how the papers in the special issue engage with the views
and experiences of children, as well as adults, to analyse the impact of social protection and
social mobility through education and employment on their well-being. It takes a slightly
critical approach to concepts such as well-being and agency—acknowledging that these
frequently embrace their opposites—and highlights the value of mixed methods in exploring
themes such as ‘voice and visibility’, schooling and work, and child poverty and outcomes.
Finally, it draws out common conclusions and discusses their implications for policy and
programme design.
