Resumo(s)
Following Qvortrup’s theoretical proposal of considering children as a generation in a binary ‘generational order’ (1994, 2010), this chapter presents and discusses national data depicting children’s forms of living in contemporary Portugal. First, using socio-demographic indicators from different sources, a portrait of children as a specific age group (0–14 years old) in the general population will be elaborated, followed by a look at the families they live with and the values parents convey to them. In the second section, we will focus on two case studies, drawing on recent or ongoing research. The first case study highlights pieces of research that tried to capture children’s voices during the recent economic crisis. The second focuses on the structural conditions that frame care work and schooling, including the parental/gender division of labour. It will also address the growing role of digital information and communication technologies (ICTs). Classical variables such as age, sex, region of residence and level of schooling are collected, treated and interpreted, as well as others relating to childhood conditions that highlight its sharp diversity. While the chapter takes an extensive and macro approach to children’s living conditions, qualitative illustrations from ongoing or recent research projects are put forward to complement the former perspective. A comparative view will often be introduced so that the Portuguese case is framed with regard to other Southern European countries or the EU as a whole.
