Abstract

The chapter examines children’s life history, in light of demographics and the basic concepts of the life course approach, relating identity and social development to the phases of childhood. Children move through childhood as cohorts; their experiences as young generations vary with societal formation and historical period. Socialization is related to life phases and generational exchange, illustrating that childhood, identity formation and well-being have to be understood in relation to life phases and generations.
