Sustainable Family Life and Child Welfare: A Conceptual Framework

Original language description

Although there have been developments in family and child welfare services, these have not been prioritized from a sustainability perspective. This article aims to provide a framework for supporting sustainable provisions for family and child welfare. We demonstrate how the need for a socially sustainable stance on family and child welfare arises from the recognition of global changes that constantly influence families as well as children's rights, which ground child- and family-centered actions. The conceptual framework includes three overarching dimensions and four levels of actors that provide a body for 16 conceptual entities in providing socially sustainable family and child welfare. The analysis showed that functional child welfare and family policies, systems, and practices appear essential elements, even necessary preconditions, of sustainability and sustainable development in general. Leaning on the concept of children's rights, we conclude that the idea of child welfare promises citizens that society has committed to promoting all children's wellbeing. Implementation of this requires a shared understanding that the conceptual framework provided in this paper urges to actualize.
