first World Vision Child Study
The whole "village" is required
- social background determines the future of the children
- World Vision: Children participate more!
Friedrichsdorf / Berlin, 24.10.2007. Under the slogan "It takes a village to make a child strong," is now in Berlin, the first World Vision children's study was presented. The Bielefeld scientist Prof. Dr. Klaus Hurrelmann and Prof. Dr. Sabine Andresen, together with a team of TNS Social Research, Munich (Director: Ulrich Schneekloth) examines the lives of children in Germany. The survey was conducted nationwide with nearly 1,600 children. The study is published as Fischer paperback under the title "Children in Germany 2007".
The World Vision children's study shows that many children in Germany is good and they are satisfied with their living environment. But it also shows, that it is crucial for life, is born into what social class a child. "The limited resources of children from the lower strata of origin dominate all areas of life and act like a vicious circle. Like a common thread runs the stigmatization and discrimination these children through the whole life long, "said the social scientist Prof. Dr. Klaus Hurrelmann. "Children from the lower classes are often placed in isolation. Therefore, it requires the commitment of the entire village to make a child strong, like an old African proverb says. A beautiful and vivid image that we as a starting point for our review of Better . Have taken child policy in Germany "
emphasizes the childhood researcher Prof. Dr. Sabine Andresen:" The first World Vision children's study shows very clearly that children are sensitive and alert young members of society which, quite confidently own life prospects. They feel in everyday life but often not taken seriously. It is believed most of the children that politicians use rather poorly for their interests. At school, many children feel not taken seriously here and complain about the insufficient participation. "
The World Vision children's study is here and wants to be the children a voice. Children are, as the study documents, independent individuals with their own interests and know very well what they want. That is why World Vision supports the demand of the children, too small to be involved in decision making. "This allows children to grow up responsible citizens of our community, we must all, therefore, the whole 'village' to provide for the welfare of our offspring. Children should have a say as early as possible when it comes to issues that concern them, "said Prof. Hurrelmann. "Mothers and fathers need more support in our society. More and more parents are overwhelmed with the academic needs of their children. Therefore, all institutions and sectors of our society can help to make our children strong. "
